Product reviewsFire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi (Nintendo Game Boy Advance, 2002)

Fans are AWESOME!

It's so cool to live in a day and age where language is no longer a barrier. Thank you, fans, for making sure that an excellent entry in the under-served Fire Emblem series made it to our shores.
<br>If you played either of the other two Fire Emblem games for the GBA, you'll easily jump right into this one. The story is a sequel to the GBA game simply labeled Fire Emblem here in the West. Super fun. Super addicting.

One cool thing about the cart I got; the mid-battle save didn't auto-delete. That means that you can save your game at the beginning of a turn and then, if the turn doesn't go well, you can redo it with a different strategy. I know, that all but eliminates any difficulty. Well, you don't have to use that glitch.

A worthy entry and a faithful recreation. And a GREAT deal!Read full review...

Fire Emblem: The Binding blade

Their is one problem with this game and that is that the game doesn't save which is a huge issue when dealing with a fire emblem game. All who read this be warned!

This game significanlty exceeded my expecations! Feels like any other Fire Emblem title!

I was skeptical about purchasing a fan-made translation of this game, but this game significantly exceeded my expectations! This game feels just like any other official Fire Emblem game I have played! The game is translated very well and doesn't even feel fan-made.
Saving the game is not a problem (This game does not quick save automatically when turning off the game in the middle of a battle. This is not a problem at all for me because I never actually made use of that feature, as I always manually quick save the game in battle, which this game does not have any problem doing. Additionally, I'm not sure this game is supposed to have this feature anyway, as I am comparing it to Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones which did include this feature) Saving and quick saving both work.
Overall, this game was made very well! It's awesome to finally be able to play Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade! Very enjoyable experience!Read full review...

Amazing product even though I can't understand a word anyone is saying.

I have always loved the Fire Emblem series and decided to buy this game so I could add onto the growing collection I already have. Unfortunately, I misunderstood what people meant by "the english version" because I thought it meant you could change the game to english. What they actually meant was how you could download the english version onto your computer and play. It is hard to play with everyone talking in a foreign language, but I went online and found a page where the dialogue is translated, so I can understand what I am doing. If I had to go back and buy it again I would. Besides the game play being the most challenging I have ever had to deal with on a fire emblem game, I love it a lot and I'm happy I get to play it whenever I want. Everyone gamer needs a challenge and this one gives me tons of them. I can't say it is my favorite fire emblem game, but out of all my gba games, I find myself always playing Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi.Read full review...

AWESOME GAME!

Great Translation, and gameplay is almost identical to what it should be. The one negative part is there is no quick save (shutting game off and picking up where you left off), other than that it is identical to how any GBA fire emblem should be. Would highly recommend!!!!!Read full review...

Arrived quickly, and in great condition

Arrived quickly in great condition, with hard plastic case. Works perfectly as expected, would buy Again.
I am subtracting 1 star due to the fact that the seller could've packaged it a bit better considering it was an international shipment. Next time please consider using some bubble wrap as well, other than that, everything was fine.Read full review...

Great gift!

My little brother really likes the game and I'd recommend it to other game fans on that note alone! My little brother recently got into fire emblem so I got him a game boy advance S.P for his birthday and this a few months later. ✌Read full review...

Good fan translation, no gamebreaking bugs that I've seen.

Fun game, and good fan translation. Aftermarket cartridges don't fit entirely into the console and some people may notice, albeit being only slightly sticking out a couple hairs because it doesn't sit flush.Read full review...

fun to go vintage

I was happy to get this game; it is a blast from the past. Fire Emblem Sword of Seals is not every ones cup of tea... but if your into strategy you'll love this game.

Great game

This game was well translated. I knew that the game was going to be good from the beginning. Although the music is a little weird, it is still really cool retro music.

Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (Review)

The story is very compelling, and the character's permanent death mechanic gives the player sense of sadness when they lose a character you grew with and like, pass away for good. The player makes a connection with the characters and make them think "I cannot let (so and so) die! He/she's was a great person, I must fight on and think strategically on how to beat my enemy." The sweet release of seeing a chapter completed with all your buddies unharmed awards the player with a feeling of determination to beat the game with your virtual friends!Read full review...
