Where was Fire Emblem WiiU then?
I wouldn't mind an Awakening port on Switch. I've got into FE fairly recently and trying to hunt down that game for a reasonable price has been annoying.
I'm hoping for an announcement along the lines of an FE4 remake or completely new game altogether. I can see them releasing it on 3DS (FE5 came out on SNES well into the N64's life), but at this point I just want a glorious HD Fire Emblem complete with all the bells and whistles.

They could re-release this game forever and I will keep paying to see those beautiful sprites
But jokes aside, Fire Emblem became a portable franchise on the 3ds ... and everything will end up on the switch someday so who knows ?
Because of the artist, don't google his work.
I recall them specifically avoiding home consoles due to the performance of RD. I think this was in an interview or something? I admit, I don't recall exactly what or where though.
That would be interesting. It would either mean the most portable-tier Switch game Nintendo has announced so far, or the most substantial leap in FE production values since it rebooted itself with Awakening.
Right so why would they suddenly be rushing a Switch game out when it is currently still positioned as a home console, judging by Nintendo's 2017 output for it?

Nintendo would be so dumb if they announced a new FE game for the 3DS only. This Direct should have the FE mobile game, FE Warriors and if they announce a new FE game it has to be 3DS/Switch or just Switch.
I... dunno? I didn't particularly think we were getting a mainline FE switch game for a while yet.
You mean like how Atlus is about to announce a new 3DS SMT game? So dumb!
I hope not. I want those pretty graphics in my Fire Emblem haha.
You say as if SMT was a 1st party franchise.
One of the reasons Awakening/Kakusei was so successful was it came out at an opportune time when the 3DSs lineup was barren.
I do think they're also hesitant to release a game on a dying system like they did with Thracia 776(although that one was incredibly late).
I do think the mobile title is taking most of the attention right now though.

its called Tokyo Mirage Sessions
3DS and switch
Also Nintendo is the platform holder while Atlus is a third party so the consideration to release a game to a specific platform is different
which is a shame. I hate Nintendo wasting their development efforts on mobile. Mario Run was like Okay that took them maybe one month but Fire Emblem hurts
I really hope they just port it to switch

That's Atlus. Nintendo can't tell them what to do, but Nintendo is pushing a brand new product and FE has become a staple for them. It should atleast be 3DS and Switch.

Disliking prepromotes in 2017
I was thinking more that it'd be a 3DS game, largely, and then just rendered at higher resolution for the Switch. Kind of like how you can render Pokemon S/M at higher res and it comes out quite nice. Bravely Default too.
That was more what I had in mind.
You're not wrong
The series was looking at cancellation with Awakening though, so it would have been kind of suicidal to release a Wii U title. Fates was trying to keep the plate spinning, so it went to 3DS by default too.Announcing it as a mobile title makes it seem like they're way more confident in the IP now at least.
I know it doesn't make sense with the way classes work nowadays, but meh, I still can't stand them
Old habits die hard. Plus, reclassing makes every unit feel way less special

Porting something like FE:Fates to Switch would be good experience for them to test stuff for the eventual Fire Emblem game they would make. You don't need the full team to do the port but alot of art would have to be redone which is a ton of work.
And that came out at the end of the WiiU's lifespan. Not at the start.
They just announced Fire Emblem Warriors for Switch. Just like Atlus announced SMT for the Switch. 3DS is next!
I can see that. It would be an interesting experiment. In any case, they might end up announcing nothing surprising at all on Wednesday, so we'll see. Lol.

I honestly think fire emblem is a gold mine on mobile, I think there are alot of Nintendo fans that have the potential to be whales, and Int Sys knows that the Fire Emblem fan base will jump in, Awakenings awful dlc pricing is imho was a test run.

I see FE Warriors as a musou game rather than a Fire Emblem game.
3DS just got Mario Maker and gets Yoshis Wooly World... dont be so needy
sure it will be a gold mine. buy all the waifus for 300 yen each
oh you want a wedding dress to officially upgrade the class to waifu? gotta pay 1000 yen per character
Want to touch the characters? That costs you 100 yen per 30 min session.

I would be nothing but shocked if that were the case. It would imply that Reggie told the truth when he said the 3DS wouldn't go anywhere. On the other hand, trying to sway the recent FE fanbase to become earlyish adopters of the Switch by not only releasing spin-offs would also make too much business sense.
I guess I'd be surprised at that unless FEWarriors comes out at launch or something. Hyrule Warriors had its direct one month before launch. But I guess this is more general so it may not follow similar rules but... fact that its general means *something* is going to be announced.

I feel like the next FE, even as just a 3DS game, is too big of a project to stay on the 3DS. Everything for the 3DS for the future (as far as I can recall) is smaller projects, spin-offs, or ports. So a whole new FE game exclusive to the 3DS would be a bit of a shocker.
We just got Gunter though.
We know warriors will be discussed.
While incredibly doubtful, you can announce a Cipher western release (was this direct even confirmed for Japan?)
Mobile is likely to be discussed.
PoR virtual console is likely at this point as well.
Then isn't TMS just an Atlus RPG rather than a Fire Emblem game? Be consistent!
This man knows what's up
Well, the current time of airing is like 7AM in Japan, so maybe this is only for the west... but what the heck would be "west only"? And would you really discuss mobile with western audiences only?

and?
I don't think Japan would care about a cipher Western release.
Try doing some LTC Nohr Lunatic.
Would they really release that in the west?

I think a Switch title would just make more sense. Based on the dev cycle for Fates, another Fire Emblem game would probably be early 2018 or so, if not later, and I'm not sure they'd be wanting to push out a 3DS game at that point.
A Switch title for later in 2018 seems like a more likely option. Especially with them already prepping a Fire Emblem spinoff for the system in its first year, and the franchise being a growth franchise for Nintendo right now.
Really doubt it as I said earlier. Or they could also announce a translation of Six or Twelve.
They will probably announce it during the week.
He can't even ohko in the chapter he's introduced in though.
Thanks for the confirmation!
Live 2D is not created by IS.
Yea wasnt this announced on the Treehouse Stream, directs arent announced officially until like a few days before
Was it actually officially announced or was it just a Treehouse mention?

MuSou at this point is just the same game over and over with varying skins (One Piece, Zelda, Dragon Quest, Berserk, Hokuto you name it)
TMS is a genuine attempt to mix formulas of FE and Persona. I would agree that its closer to Persona than to FE but its still a lot more FE then what FE Warriors probably will be.
Way too straightforward. Look at pretty much every other successful character-based gacha. Most characters will be available via rolling (3000 yen worth of in-game currency per 10). Every week there will be a higher chance to obtain a featured character over the others (at a rate of 5% versus 2.5%). During special events highly limited versions of popular characters are made available or the rates for rarer characters go up.
I fully expect something taken straight out of Granblue, which wouldn't be worst case. But the above is what'll make the game a gold mine, not nickle and diming like that.
