Fire Emblem/SMT Crossover Game Gets Official US Title

@madsnakehhh: It has a 34/40 on Famitsu and 4/5 stars on Amazon Japan if that's a good sign.

@madsnakehhh: It seems like the Japanese gaming community didn't really care for it, but it may be because of the same reason a lot of people have been turned off by it. When it was announced, many people envisioned something like Namco x Capcom or Project X Zone. What it turned out to be, however, is a spinoff that really only has references to the two franchises and does its own thing.

@freedom01: What score would you give it?

@baral-o: I doubt it will go all digital. That would be a first. Even Sony and MS who are bolder than Nintendo is with pushing online have not dared to tread there just yet. For them to do that they would need to build in a mass storage device (read: HDD), something Nintendo has never done. You can't expect people to buy an external on top of the console and it's a very inelegant solution.

I don't think even PS5 and XB2 will be all digital. Maybe the gen after that, but it's too soon. Much of the world is not ready for it yet due to not good enough internet. For me to download a 50GB game will take 12 hours, and no one else in the house can use the internet during that time. Compare this to heading down to the store and just buying a copy on disc.

When you cut bricks and mortar out of the equation, they will not stock consoles because there's no money to be made on them without any software sales afterward. So how do console makers get their gear out? Will they have to set up their own stores, or go online only?

@baral-o: I really hope the NX isn't backwards compatible. That would mean it would have to support the Wii Remotes. I'm tired of having a sensor bar sitting on my TV. So done with motion controls.
