What you hold in your hands is the second game, which was later remastered and released on the 3DS as Fire Emblem Echoes, the latter in my opinion is THE best Fire Emblem game ever released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avatar! | 1,808 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Curious if anyone is going to replace the paperweight with an actual working cartridge? I mean, there should be some hackers professionals out there that can reproduce a working cartridge using the new Fire Emblem art. Also, I'm curious if anyone knows anything about the localization?

Splain | 2,561 Editorials Team · Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Oof, you'd have to drill out that acrylic, enough to fit the board inside, and then even if you managed to do that, it would look funny because the "sticker art" for the cart would be obscured by the board. Maybe somehow cut it in half flatwise so you could carve out each half from the "inside," and polish it tirelessly so that it looks as flat, clear, and smooth as the outside. If the board could somehow be suspended in the acrylic, that would look neat, but obviously it would have to be a completely separate batch of resin, with a re-make of the sticker.

I was thinking someone would use a normal NES cart, only they would use the art on the acrylic for the NES cart, and if possible, the current localization, which I know nothing about at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.A. | 1,139 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I received my order Amazon today, but of course they shipped it loose banging around inside of a larger box. So it took a beating... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,932 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I forgot this came out. Nintendo wrote me saying I had like 60 gold coins expiring in a couple weeks or so. Maybe I should just pop for the game as I have 522 in all. I don't see much of anything else I could care about burning it on. I never was any much good at these titles but enjoy at times wasting some effort on it so maybe this could be a good choice. Given all the goodies in the irrational release with no physical game, if I were hype on it I might have even gone for it like you all did.

So it took a beating... Mine was shipped similarly but it had my Razer Kishi controller with it which held it in place and prevented jostling. Amazon packaging has really gone downhill. Meanwhile, I'm getting stuff from Target with packing material taking up 90% of the box. If I get my orders from Best Buy, I will open up whichever is worse quality so I have one to enjoy.

I'd be interested to play it on an original NES console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.A. | 1,139 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 My Best Buy order finally arrived. It's in better shape, but still not as good as I had hoped. I plan on returning the copy I got from Amazon. If anyone doesn't mind some corner dings and wants it for cost let me know in the next couple days before I send it back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowser | 598 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I bought 3 of these from various Best Buy locations near me and opted for store pickup in order to keep the best one. Only 1 was truly mint and the other 2 had a couple of dings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,690 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I was able to snag a few extra if anyone needs one at cost. Just send me a PM. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,932 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I'm tempted to take one of those off you guys. My hang up over the kit was basically it's $50 for a bunch of fan service which lacked a couple things that would have nailed it for me for one in particular, physical media. Perhaps without them dumping the game on a tiny cart for Switch, had they like had a printed strategy guide with stage maps, that would have likely equally made me go all in on it too. I just don't have huge time to commit to getting lost and retrying a lot, and I'm not great at this genre so it would have been a boon. That said, love all the rest that is there, but it would all be basically a one shot look and back in the box other than that kind of neat looking cart which would go on my game shelf or desk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
