We'll probably get Corrin amiibo.
Hopefully female is the default.

The Corrin Amiibo is gonna be Smash-based, so we'll likely get Male Corrin as the default. Of course, we could very well get both (I recall there being a listing for an unspecified Amiibo two-pack) if Nintendo intends on selling alternate variants of existing Amiibos.

That said, don't expect any Corrin Amiibo news until Smash 4 Switch is revealed.

Are people doubting they'll show FE:Warriors? The trailer on Jan.12th seemed intentionally short.

I'm pretty excited. I watched the teaser again pretty closely, and the graphics of the hand grabbing the sword already looked a notch above Hyrule Warriors. More details and geometry on the clothing, as well as a slightly cel-shaded look.

The rock texture on the background looks to be pretty good with maybe some bump mapping?

Am I....reading too much into this? [breathes heavily]

No, my thoughts exactly.

I think it wasn't unveiled on purpouse to pack in all the Fire Emblem info (mobile, Switch, maybe 3DS) they got in one Direct.

 

[SapphiCine]

I don't see any way that a mobile game will turn out well. At least they can fully profit from the waifu crowd.

Granblue and Fate Grand Order are doing very very well.

 

[Blackquill]

As long as I can have my husbando Ike nothing else will mater

 

[rokero]

hope they announce they're bringing the tcg to the west

 

[Bamboo 竹]

My prediction:

- FE Warriors CGI trailer with a 2018 release date.
- FE mobile F2P similar to the Netmarble Game that copies Clash Royale with premium heroes from the series. It's the copy of a copy.
- Meltdowns all over the place the one hour after the Direct.
- GAF discusses on the next 3 days about how Nintendo ruined the series.

I hope you're right. It felt like they had more to tease when I saw that trailer.

I doubt that was in-game.

 

[Draxal]

We're going to get a Samto Ike.

 

[NeonBlack]

Has there ever been a Nintendo Direct for a mobile game?

I don't remember one for the Mario or Pokemon apps.

 

[DecoReturns]

Hyrule Warriors was was released 8 months after it was announced so I could it being released this year. Maybe August or October.

As for upcoming titles? Wonder if it's Warriors and mobile. Or a tease for 15

 

[darklin0]

Bring on the Gacha!

I have insane luck with that type of mobile game. Yolo rolls for life and I always end up with the good stuff.

 

[Galang]

Woo. Got 200 dollars worth in iTunes cards to roll Lucina. I'm ready. Disappointed if it's not a gacha game

 

[Vanillalite]

I just don't know if I can do it if FE Mobile is gacha. I might have to quit before I even start.

Would be a big cash cow for Nintendo though.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

The description of this video says it's coming holiday 2017.

In before delay.

 

[Some Nobody]

I feel like "for Switch" and "for 3DS" are pretty hard to get mixed up, so that FE Switch port is likely.

I'm not sure how I feel about that yet, though. I also still want a remake of 4+5, since those never came Stateside.

 

[ChasingComets]

And there we have it. Pretty much everything FE is going to show at this direct.

Going to be really interesting to see what the mobile game turns out like...

 

[duckroll]

Back to original predictions!

I'm calling it.

- Fire Emblem mobile
- Final FE 3DS game
- FE Warriors preview
- FE body pillows for redemption on Nintendo Account

 

[DecoReturns]

If it makes anyone feel better. Hyrule Warriors was never delayed.

Didn't expect the First Direct after Switch to be Fire Emblem specific.

 

[Blackquill]

We're going to get a Samto Ike.

Samto the characater ? Why him

 

[Busaiku]

Fire Emblem Warriors isn't listed as 2017 outside of the trailer description.
Japan has nothing on the game's release.

It was probably a mistake.

but it's easy when you're careless in renaming stuff from webpage template lol

 

[Blackquill]

I really hope that FE Musou is a First-class musou than a second-class like Berserk... or worse, Hokuto no ken

 

[darklin0]

Back to original predictions!

I hope you are right.

Spoiler

But only because of the body pillows.

 

[Brazil]

Just please for the love of God don't turn out to be a gatcha game on mobile.

Please, for the love of God, be exactly what this guy doesn't want it to be.

 

[JCX]

For such a big series now, I am surprised that there have not been more remakes/localizations of the older games. I'd love a collection of SNES games, or a Radiant HD collection.

 

[ChasingComets]

Back to original predictions!

Let's throw in an FE Awakening anime as well, for good measure.

 

[Busaiku]

but it's easy when you're careless in renaming stuff from webpage template lol

If it's called Fire Emblem Fates Revelation, it would stand out, since none of the physical versions bear that name, and you can't get the game without owning one of the other versions anyways.

 

[go_straight]

is this the place where Arc System announce Fire Emblem Colosseum?

 

[NeonBlack]

but it's easy when you're careless in renaming stuff from webpage template lol

Can speak from experience. Sadly, this is true.

Several of Nintendo's pages say that in the source, so I'm pretty sure it's an error

 

[Vanillalite]

Some of y'all have waaayy to much time on your hands to be rerolling in all of these gacha games every other week when a new one drops. Lol

 

[BGBW]

Can they mod Smash Bros Wii U's Coliseum so that Chrom appears dead on the ground if Robin is not in play?

 

[duckroll]

Unlikely. Nintendo is too tough with licensing for that sort of deal to work out well for TV anime. Unless you mean like shorts or a special or whatever.

 

[Draxal]

Samto the characater ? Why him

Oh Samto's just a ghetto Navarre-Nabarl (fuck i hate that name), I meant a phony Ike.

Well we just got a Leo from IF/Fates manga coming out this month, but it is still insanely unlikely.

 

[vareon]

Yes, alongside with Fire Emblem: Rabbids Kingdom, a collaboration title with Ubisoft.

 

[ChasingComets]

Mostly in jest, but yeah, I was thinking a promo short like what they did for Kid Icarus all those years back.

 

[cw_sasuke]

This is Fire Emblem, no excuses.

 

[RootCause]

Mobile game? Awww! I thought this direct was going to be about FE Musou.

 

[kuroneko0509]

rerolling is nothing as typical fe players have already experienced in resetting the games lol

 

[L95]

Mobile game? Awww! I thought this direct was going to be about FE Musou.

It's both. We just don't know how much of each, and if there's anything else.

 

[Zedark]

Mobile game? Awww! I thought this direct was going to be about FE Musou.

According to the people at the Treehouse stream, it will be there too.

 

[Blackquill]

Also what's a gacha game ?

Oh Samto's just a ghetto Navarre-Nabarl (fuck i hate that name), I meant a phony Ike.

Haha true, there's so much bad characters in FE1 and 3

 

[StereoVsn]

it'll be gacha definitely

You have waifus, items, RNG, oh it's going to be gotcha alright. Throw in some PvP and P2Win items, the outcry will be glorious.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Crazy how FE went from almost dead to million seller and system seller.

This is already more exciting than the Switch reveal itself.

 

[Mory Dunz]

I'm guessing it's a 2017 game if NA is hearing about it now. We'll see though

 

[L95]

Haha true, there's so much bad characters in FE1 and 3

Samto intentionally impersonates Navarre, and is also crappy. He's like Shanam in FE5.....

 

[Brazil]

It's pretty clear by this point that Advance Wars could be successful as well (if turned into waifu simulator).
