This is a thing? This is the greatest thing.
There have been plenty of video game art books localized and released here in the past 5 years, it's hardly a new phenomenon.
There just hasn't been one for as large and rabid of a fanbase as Zelda. And that's not really anyone's fault on the US publisher side, it's just that there was no significant source material to localize. It was a sea change in Nintendo's policy that they even published something like Hyrule Historia in the first place, historically they've always been extremely tightfisted with letting anyone get any peeks behind their curtains. Just a few years ago, hoping to see design docs and prelim sketches from Zelda games would be akin to hoping to see a dodo.
I'm sure HH's success has them rethinking their secrecy a bit.

Yeah, but I just don't think is as widespread as it could be...

I find it funny that it seems like this is the game that GAF is most interested in at this particular instance. I haven't been paying TOO much attention but so far the past two weeks I've had a thread on this game on first page.
Just seems weird given I've always felt like FE was something of a niche. At least as far as any Nintendo game would be concerned.

Don't call it breeding, call it eugenics.
Well, how many have you bought? If you want to see more, how are you helping the situation forward?

Well, lack of big game announcements, some big releases having horrible PR and marketing, a big 3DS release...
None, but not because I don't want to (lack of money and I need to import them because I'm not from US or Canada) . And don't misunderstand, I'm glad this boom from Video Game Artbooks, I didn't want to sound ungrateful.

This. I've never wanted to play an FE game until this week. I tried the demo and it was great. I think I'm going to have to
return Ni no Kuni to Gamefly and get this for the time being
It's fun!
donuts doesn't need to be spellchecked here.
neither does Colour.
Also in Canada we carry our Milk in bags.
Better than Shadow Dragon: Check
It looks nicer than its predecessors and has a casual mode for the people who've been alienated by perma death.
+ Big marketing push
+ Nintendo actually doing DLC right
+ CG trailer at Nintendo Directs
+ Marth!?

Curse you, Canadians! You're not supposed to get cool stuff. Ever. Why do you get the game earlier? QQ
So many Marths.
Practically never.
In my case it's just been a really long time since I played one and I kinda feel like it at the moment. The hype
and Tharja
I'm glad it's coming early (fuck yeah Canada) because I have too much stuff coming up. I think this can coexist with Dead Space 3 though.

Yah, I'm more excited for Awakening than I ever was for Radiant Dawn on the Wii. Granted, one of my favorite things about the FE series has always been the support system and since they basically went and stripped that away I had no incentive to finish RD.
Definitely like where the series is headed on the 3DS though
.Respect points for being honest!
Shit.
Or maybe they flipped a coin to see if we get Fire emblem or Animal crossing first and FE won.

I will have to wait to get this because I'm between jobs at the moment.
I also really wanted to get the FE 3DS (awesome color of blue) to replace my Zelda 3DS, but I just can't justify it.
I'm super hyped beyond imagination. This game will hold me for awhile.

Someone aks for 3DS recommendations and no one mentions Resident Evil? For shame...
Revelations and Mercenaries 3D are both great, but only get Mercs if you liked Mercs on RE5/4. It's DEFINITELY just to appease to mercs fans, and not for anyone who didn't already like it.

Just off the eShop, Crimson Shroud, Pushmo/Crashmo, and our own Beril's game, Gunman Clive. And can buy all of those for less than 1 physical retail release game on sale.
Virtue's Last Reward, but play 999 first (and don't save in VLR's puzzle rooms).
What? I'm playing this right now. And saved in a puzzle room. Am I doomed?
good luck, dude. lol
I believe the XL is being offered for 169 at best buy.

Ahhhhh.
*reads up on bug*
Okay, so I saved in the crew quarters a few days ago and was able to successfully load last night, so I'm hopefully okay.
It's just a little bigger screens, right? Nothing else improved? I think I'd rather put extra money towards games.
Slightly better battery life, I've read.
