Good news! Fire Emblem 13 is definitely being localised to Europe, which most likely means it's being localised to USA too, considering Fire Emblem barely sells at all in Europe. (Radiant Dawn sold what, 3000 copies?).

Are you trolling?

I mean, considering what Americans had to go through in regards to Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower, it's hard to interpret your post in any other way.


I'm not at all trolling. I don't even get what you're talking about. I never make posts with the goal of upsetting other people, you ought to have understood that by now.

I figured that Xenoblade, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower are all titles that are potentially large enough to warrant versions of themselves in Europe alone.

Now, Xenoblade performed a lot worse than I thought it had, but look at this

  Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon Xenoblade Chronicles
Lifetime European sales 7,193 5,238 146,933

The difference in size is just incredible. You can translate a game expecting 100,000 copies or 50,000 copies. But Fire Emblem barely sells at all in Europe. The translation just doesn't seem worth it for a game that's going need luck to sell 10,000 copies.

In the US, on the other hand, Fire Emblem is relatively large. Shadow Dragon and Radiant Dawn both saw half their sales come from there - around 250,000.

 

From a business standpoint, both Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo of America would have to be idiots for it to be imported only to Europe.
