Keep hoping...

Though here is my question: They said fire emblem would return to home console on the switch in the FE direct. So... what is it? I see a statement and i see i wish. The statement wins.

Yup, because Switch is home console and handheld in same time, and Fire Emblem is now returning to home console (because Switch is also home console not just handheld). You obviousle have Zelda BotW that is home console game, Mario Odyyses, Splatoon 2...that are all home console games that will be playable in portable mode of Switch also. Its not really hard to imagine smaller, cheaper version of Switch just for handheld playing that of course plays all Switch games.

 

So... its coming back to home console... but it isn't because it's a portable... but it is a portable... wow, can this messaging get anymore confusing? Unless... this is you assuming and not what Nintendo said! They have never once refered to the Switch as a portable console. Because they know what it is.
