Forums - Nintendo Discussion - If Done Right Could Fire Emblem as a Franchise Become Even Bigger than it already is? (Thanks to Mobile)

Nintendo is so going to throw that whole "our mobile games are just advertisements for console games" in the garbage once they see mobile games earning real money.

It's basically their new "we'll never charge money for DLC " or "we'll never lock content behind Amiibos".

Yeah i can see this happening.

Fire emblem doesn't need complex controls so it should be an easy sell for Nintendo.

The answer is obviously yes. I think especially as other strategy games are wearing thin on the app store.

I think many people could get behind a Fire Emblem anime miniseries too.

There's several spinoffs to FE that I think could do really well
- Fire Emblem Warriors
- Soul Calibur vs Fire Emblem
- Fire Emblem TCG
- Art Academy : Fire Emblem
- Fire Emblem Picross
- Zelda-like spinoffs

Now I want a MyNintendo Fire Emblem Picross as the next reward.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Not with this rampant censorship, the hardcore fans will leave it behind and will cause the ultimate dismess in the end of the day

That didnt affect Fate sales in the west in the slightest

For now



Of course. As for the mobile offering, I expect something like a trading card game, with lite PvE/P elements and supports. It won't be as deep(item management, reinforcements, ... a story, will all be absent)but it will still feature the essence of FE.

As probably the biggest fan of the series, it's incredible to me that this series has come as far as it has. It's amazing what a little marketing can do. Hopefully NX has at least one Fire Emblem - with a budget and a decent engine.

Can you give examples which censorship in the west has affected it sales? How about on Nintendo consoles/handhelds? 



Pocky Lover Boy! 

I think it can continue to grow in sales, but it won't get to high sales status like COD or any other big budget AAA title. It's the gameplay and presentation that's going to keep it from reaching its status. FE is def not a game for everyone, even with all the attempts made to make it as approachable as possible. Not everyone digs that type of tactics gameplay as well as that weird anime style. It somewhat lacks that look to pull in a lot of Japanese (not enough cute and moe), and westerners probably think of it as a sort of weird style anime and manga fans like.

These 2 things are probably what are holding it back from reaching those big sales, but that's okay. It doesn't need to be appeal to everyone, but just continue to be.. 'it' x )

Fire Emblem is going to become one of the bigger Nintenfo IP for the next years. I can see it outselling some of the main Zelda games.

For 2 games in a row. Just let it go



I think it's about as large as it will get, but mobile might help a bit
