Fire Emblem: Three Houses (Switch)

When and how was this announced?

@antdickens
Thanks!

You're going to want to update this E3 presentation said it's not coming until 2019

Bought it and love it.

One of the best games on the switch. Definitely try it out if you're a fan of RPGs

I believe that this game already did a better job than Pokemon Sword and Shield will do in the future. Both are traditionally on handhelds, and both are RPG's (albeit different RPG genres), however, Three Houses successfully displays classic Fire Emblem elements while upgrading some details from past Fire Emblem games. It keeps the best aspects of the past ones and introduces some unique and cool new features, with a MIND BLOWING story.

@Metal_Gear_Mark agreed. Not to say that Pokémon can’t be great on the switch, but based on what I’ve seen from The Pokémon Company and GameFreak, sword and shield seems pretty much the same as always. A little of something new, but nothing to make it really stand out or change anything.

@Metal_Gear_Mark You're bang on there, as much as I'm a huge fan of both series, Intelligent Systems have done a much better job of updating Fire Emblem in order to bring in new fans to the series and just generally improve the experience. Pokémon will always shift units because it's Pokémon, but Three Houses at the moment is much more worthy of people's money and attention, it feels like a culmination of all their 3DS efforts into a much bigger and better game. I want to be proved wrong about Sword and Shield, but I'm anticipating a very similar experience to X/Y and Sun/Moon.

Should i get this game? It seems cool

really good RPG with a good story and amazing gameplay.

Great game with some caveats
-Weapon durability is annoying. There are ways to live with it if you’re smart, but still an irritation
-Some side quests unlock certain important game shops/mechanics. It would be less of a chore if they automatically unlocked with progression, instead of in a missable side quest
-Part 1 of the game is mostly the same through all routes. This is understandable and not a huge complaint by any means, but it may become a bit of a chore working through it several times to explore all the routes
Some mechanics such as the Retreat function are not explained at all-you have to discover them yourself
-Speaking of which, managing your battle skills in the inventory is a tad bothersome.
These don’t detract much from a great game however
