Minority Mindset

Since Sid Meier and Andy Hollis, famously known as the “dream team,” were leading the project, and MicroProse, with its founder being an ex-US Air Force pilot, had already established a significant presence in the military game market, it was only natural. F-19 Stealth Fighter, however, didn’t quite make it into the hall of fame of all-time great games. Nevertheless, given its unique and engaging “gaming backstory,” it deserves a spot in the Retro Gaming series for its captivating tale.

The debate over permanently closing down games has been intense, with organizations like Video Games Europe and developers such as Pirate Software expressing concerns about laws that prohibit the termination of games.

In my excitement for potential enhancements in future Fire Emblem games, especially if they’re intended for a Nintendo Switch 2 or an updated edition, let me share some of my thoughts as a dedicated fan. Today, I’ve tested load times using both the internal memory and SD card on my Nintendo Switch OLED with the digital versions of each game. To ensure accuracy, I’ve aggressively pressed A to hasten loading and skipped publisher and developer logos when possible. Here’s what I hope to see in these future releases:

1. Improved load times: Faster loading screens would make gameplay smoother and more enjoyable, especially during intense battles or transitions between maps.
2. Enhanced graphics: While the current games are visually appealing, a bump in resolution or texture detail could bring the world of Fire Emblem to life even more.
3. New game modes: Additional game modes, such as a challenging “hard mode” or an innovative puzzle-based mini-game, could offer new ways for players to engage with the series.
4. Cross-platform multiplayer: Allowing players on different systems (such as Nintendo Switch 2 and mobile devices) to compete against each other would expand the Fire Emblem community and create more opportunities for strategic matchups.
5. Customization options: Offering a wider range of customization choices, including character outfits, weapon skins, and map designs, could let players express their unique creativity within the game.

Furyu initiates self-publishing their games in the west for the first time, and this Varlet is more than just another Furyu game.

This change doesn’t affect the actual gameplay, but it does bring a new feeling compared to previous Furyu projects I’ve experienced.

Kyrie promptly began the conversation, giving Brown a sly grin, “Alright, let’s dive right in. What’s your rating?” This remark seemed to excite Brown. He shared, “I just ran into Ronnie in the elevator on our way here. I wish I had truly sent him off.” Kyrie quickly interjected, mimicking a protective older sibling in a buddy movie, “Hold it right there. That’s not even—hold it. Why didn’t you do something about it then?” Brown chuckled, gave a nod to Ronnie, and attempted to change the subject.

Due to the growing popularity of Japanese media in the Western world, many individuals are striving to delve deeper into the culture and cultivate a fondness for lesser-known aspects such as mastering the art of swordsmanship with a katana.
