I started the series with Fire Emblem on the GBA, then played Sacred Stones, Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn, Shadow Dragon, Awakening, Fates, Echoes and even the English translation of the first game Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light.

Pretty much every game that was released in the West officially up to Three Houses.

I am a bit late to the Three Houses party and I am honestly enjoying the game, but man did this game throw me off as a series veteran.

There's no weapon triangle, magic is no longer tomes or staves you buy( to be fair, Echoes had this, but that was a remake of Gaiden), the fact that new units aren't recruited through battle by talking to enemy or ally units or by advancing the plot, even small stuff that I remember like wind magic being super effective against flying units.

It even throws some new stuff into the mix, which I honestly enjoyed.

I am not hating on Three Houses, very much the opposite. Because it pretty much made me rethink how I play Fire Emblem.

I was watching Starcrossed again, and this always stood out to me. The Thanagarians knew the weaknesses of the Justice League and how to keep them contained. Superman is imprisoned in a cell that generates Red Sunlight, Flash on a gravity platform, Wonder Woman with her own lasso, and Green Lantern physically removed from his Ring.

But Batman does not have his Utility Belt removed. I can't imagine Shayera not making a note of Batman's Utility Belt when she gave info to the Thanagarians given she worked with him for years.

Villains in BTAS who met Batman for the first time like Mr. Freeze made sure to remove Batman's Utility Belt.

So, how did Shayera and the Thanagarians basically allow Batman to keep his tools and weapons? Especially since there's no guarantee Batman would not find a way to escape, especially given he's escaped before in the DCAU, sometimes without his Utility Belt.

It's an odd oversight for the Justice League member most likely to figure out a way to escape(although Wonder Woman made the attempt first) and I can't believe Shayera would miss the importance of his Utility Belt.

Which raises a few questions when she's not shocked when the Justice League escapes

Did the purposely hold back info on Batman knowing the Thanagarians would likely underestimate him anyway?

Man, I feel so bad for Bernadetta. Her self esteem is so badly shattered, she assumes the worst even when people are being nice to her.

You know, it's gonna be hilarious seeing Smash 6 use Donkey and Diddy's more cartoony redesign from Bananaza alongside the more realistic redesign for Fox , Falco, and Wolf from Star Fox 2026.

So, this is awkward. I have been playing on a new Switch and I have all my data from my other games, but how do I get my Leaf Green data transfered over?

Let's predict the launch games Nintendo will go with whenever the DS arrives on Nintendo Classics. I'll start with my guesses for the lineup.

Ok, this is one of the best lines in the game. She's not even trying to hide her intentions with Byleth.

It's interesting that all three of these banners come back at the same time, especially given there's a character who shares all three tags and has already appeared in two Anniversaries.

With Fortune's Weave dropping this year, what's your personal top five ranking for the Fire Emblem series?

Lucina is still my favorite female Lord in the series, but I have to admit that Edelgard has really grown on me. It's such a shame how badly things go for her on most paths. I think I made a mistake playing Crimson Flower first because I did not expect to get this attached to her.

It's always nice to pull off a clutch victory over a boss.

If you picked up a Switch 2 in 2026, what first-party exclusive release this year pushed you to buy the system?

The only After-party Legend fighter who could be our savior from a Hybrid Saiyans Meta.

For anyone hoping LL Revivalhan 's Zenkai will be bad or mediocre, this is his current kit. They are basically going to have to rebuild him as a new character to even make him viable in this meta.

Saw this on sale on the eShop and I am curious. Is anyone still playing Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 or 3 online on the Switch? Or are the games dead?

You know, for a character they spent lots of time designing, it's amazing how far they are going to make LR Broly irrelevant before we even leave the Anniversary.

So.... I kinda messed up recruiting the students from other houses because I was thinking recruitment worked like other Fire Emblem games until it was too late. Am I screwed once I go into the time skip after Chapter 11?

As I approach the end of Part I of Three Houses, I gotta say, this game throws some curveballs that made me as a series veteran rethink how I play the game.

I find it interesting that Shayera gave the Thanagarians the weaknesses of the Justice League to capture and keep them imprisoned, but they never took away Batman's Utility Belt

So, what team are you playing this PvP season? I'll start....

So, who else managed to pick up Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon and The Blade of Light when they released it in English on the eShop?

I know it's early, but I am calling it now, Legend Cell with the ability to summon Cell Jrs as his minions will be the After-party fighter.
