| Darwinianevolution said: Once it was announced, I was expecting the new Fire Emblem Echoes to be a dual release, 3DS and Switch. It seems to be using the Awakening engine and it would have been a waste not releasing it on the 3DS, alongside Awakening and Fates. But why wasn't it on the Switch too? It would have been a pretty good game for its first couple of months. And people would have bought it, Fire Emblem now is not the risky franchise it was before, it doesn't need an established userbase to sell well. Was it due to lack of time/profit to port the engine to the Switch? |
Why isn't it cross buy 3ds/switch. Sony does it with Vita and PS4 and Microsoft with Xbox and PC, it's good customer friendly move.
I think it probably has to do with the graphic, Nintendo would not want to advertise a new game for switch with 3DS graphic and also the game was designed for Dual screen vs Switch single screen.
