Not to be confused with Fire Emblem Warriors
[Update: Nintendo is nowsayingFire Emblem Heroeswill hit iOS and Android on February 2.]
A big focus of Nintendo’sFire Emblemdirect was the series’ first mobile entry,Fire Emblem Heroes, which is coming out first for Android devices February 2 and “available soon” on iPad and iPhone. It will be free, with additional in-app purchases.
The “tactical RPG” boasts a “brand-new, original story”…between two warring kingdoms. Ahem. “As a Summoner, you must call uponFire Emblemheroes throughout history to unite as one army.” Some series mainstays may end up against you as enemy generals as well.
TheHeroesportion starts at 8:45 and covers a lot of minutia about how the game works, including the in-game currency (Orbs!) you buy with real money. It’s very mobile game-y, though it has some nice portrait art to go with the chibi style of the game at large.
