Soft Reset on Wii?

[nocturnal YL]

Yeah.... I've raised a topic on soft reset before. Now here it is again, with a new question:

How to soft reset on Wii? Using the stupid Home menu isn't accepted as an answer. Using the genius Home menu isn't, either.

And this is a question asked to Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn players. How to soft reset? A certain developer didn't notice the problem at first and released FE10 without soft reset. Gah. A Fire Emblem without soft reset? Would that even be Fire Emblem?

Off-topic: Good thing they added soft reset (and a whole list of other features) into the US version (along with some hilarious mistakes like Muarim having Mist's description in the Terms section in the base, and minor changes like how Pelleas gives Leonardo, Edward and Nolan personal weapons, Nico revisits in 3-13 and how Micaiah comments on Sothe's hero-worshipping to Ike with "Ike... father of Sothe's children." Best Fire Emblem quote ever!) - but at the same time, the US version lacks a lot of other things with it mainly translated from the Normal mode of the Japanese version instead of Hard. And Maniac should stay!


And, eh, happy new year.

FE10 has a save option. It's just more forgettable than resetting if you make a mistake with your weak Dawn Brigade. Normal mode murdered me, and I'm decent at FE.

No soft reset. The Home menu is something all three seventh generation systems hold. It's not stupid because it's something that applies to all games. Though, ah, some games probably have a soft reset on the Wii. Square-Enix games, perhaps? Shoulder buttons, start, and select is the common reset for them.

I don't know. This place of Kawaki Chatei mentions "soft reset" as one of the overseas-only feature.

I don't know what to call the Home menu. If anything, I think consoles should be distinct from computers: the former should stay to be simple to use. Wii is straying from this, as setting up a Wii is the most difficult one among Nintendo systems. Plus switching controllers is annoying.

And Battle Save is an "overseas only" feature. Like I said, on the same difficulty, the overseas version is easier.

Don't know why reports say FE10 is hard even in easy or normal... I find it ridiculously easy on normal. Maybe because I am only in PART 1.


Still, if anything, a soft reset is something we should have. Especially in FE. It's better than "Suspend, recover backup data for possible death count, and restart chapter".


EDIT - It seems that the Japanese and English communities never read each other's stuff. From the information I've collected, there's really no soft reset in FE10 and whoever in the Japanese Wikipedia wrote a positive answer in it. No wonder people say the Japanese have their own Internet.
