More Thoughts From Me: Fire Emblem Engage Hype

At the end of 2022, I wrote a list talking about my most anticipated games of 2023. The second game on the list was Fire Emblem Engage. The game comes out next week! Let’s get hyped!

Recently, Nintendo Japan released a long video about Fire Emblem Engage. You can check it out above. That video will, sooner or later, be translated and released by Nintendo America and UK I’m sure. Fire Emblem Engage comes out next week!

Originally, Starfield was the game I was most hyped for after Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. I’m still hyped for Starfield a lot but I’m looking forward to Fire Emblem Engage even more now thanks to the above trailer and other information that’s been released about the game.

Fire Emblem Engage brings back a world map like the older Fire Emblem games, plus has an open 3D area to explore like Three Houses. The game also has a host of optional mini-games, including….A FISHING MINI-GAME. I love fishing mini-games as you might know. The fishing game here looks so good. I also like the look of the other mini-games, a shooting game and a pet area, too.

Beyond the mini-games and the open area is, of course, the strategic combat. It looks the same as it always does and I love it. And the fact that you can call upon heroes of past Fire Emblem games to help you, oh boy, that should be a ton of fun.

Fire Emblem Engage should be another excellent addition to the franchise. I’m so excited to play this game!

Are you looking forward to Fire Emblem Engage?
