Fire Emblem: if (Nintendo 3DS)

Fourteenth Fire Emblem game announced for the Nintendo 3DS. Trailer streamed on the various Nintendo Directs, so there shouldn't be any worry about localization. The Japanese version is set to release this summer, and no date set for the English version as of yet.



The key this time appears to be choices that affect the story and gameplay. The story is being written by Shin Kibayashi, known for writing the later Kindaichi Case Files chapters (under the pen name Seimaru Amagi).



There's no indication about whether "My Unit" aka the Avatar (well, an Avatar) is returning. The Dual System is returning to some degree as well, based on the trailer. In addition, the battles are based on where the units actually are in the map, rather than generic fields and such. And finally, characters have feet.
