I personally think if they don't want to do a normal Fire Emblem game on Wii U, they should have used this opportunity to create a parallel spinoff Fire Emblem series with its own distinct gameplay and potential for successors without outside assistance. Sure the crossovers have gone well so far with Persona Q and Hyrule Warriors being well received, but they can't be franchises or series unto themselves without assistance from outside companies since one or both games aren't Nintendo's.

Persona Q is a crossover between two Atlus IPs (Persona and Etrian Odyssey), so it's not relevant to this discussion.

@Player2: Persona Q is so-so. It has a good amount of redeeming qualities (mostly from the Etrian Odyssey side), but suffers from a few braindead design choices. Once I get around to writing a review, it's going to be a 6, but I am not sure if it's going to be low, middle or high one.

@Mystro-Sama: A crossover between the greatest SRPG series and an IP that is full of mediocrity doesn't sound amazing, especially because it's completely unclear what the compromise between the two quite distinct gameplay mechanisms is going to be.

@Wyrdness: Hyrule Warriors works because people have been craving for more action in a Zelda game. Zelda's origins are built around combat, but that got lost with the move to 3D. It was a challenge to implement good combat back in the early age of 3D games, so Nintendo shifted the focus to more puzzles to make the game (Ocarina of Time) more enjoyable. Since then the mechanics haven't evolved much (because the guy in charge, Aonuma, would rather have even more puzzles), so Hyrule Warriors feels like a considerable step up. It lacks the exploration aspect of Zelda, but the combat feels so good that the reception was overwhelmingly positive. Hyrule Warriors is about kicking ass, and that's what Zelda was originally about. Killing a bunch of monsters makes you feel like a hero, pushing a block on a switch not so much.

@Pavolink: The only commitment I can see here is yours to your butthurt. Get over it.

Aw don't be mad. Both of us are talking about unwanted games, isn't it?
