Or: Digging Up Video Game History
Welcome to another fantastic episode of Nerds Without Pants! We're a little late, and a man down(sort of), but we make it up to you with a fun discussion about what we've been doing, and go in depth on the documentary Atari: Game Over.
For Hoshido!
After three long years, Fire Emblem returns to the 3DS in the form of not one, not two, but three different versions. While the idea of “splitting” the game of Fire Emblem Fates into two retail releases (Birthright and Conquest) and a third downloadable title (Revelations) could be seen as a lazy cash grab from detractors, the execution is anything but. Each game packs in as much content as the 2013 Fire Emblem: Awakening, but gives players a choice in their playstyle preference. Birthright allows would-be tacticians to grind out levels in random battles, while the more challenging Conquest takes its cues from the older Fire Emblem games. This review is based on Birthright.
