Well two teens behind me started to talk about how much they are excited for Fire Emblem Fates and their concerns on the pricing. The other one apperently watched E3 and he mentioned that SMTxFE looked "weird" he also said to the other that Xenoblade Chronicles X releases in December and he cannot wait. I never thought of any of this games as mainstream so I thought it was weird to hear about them so out of context like that. |
Ever since Awakening, I would say fire emblem has reached a good point of popularity. I wouldn't say mainstream, but it is at a decent place.
Likewise, having shulk in smash bros probably opened eyes to xenoblade chronicles in general. Xenoblade being an futuristic open world game may lead it to becoming a known franchise in the west like fire emblem.
Ultimately though, these guys just seems to know way more about Nintendo then the average person so I wouldn't really read too much into this.
