During the Star Fox vs. Fire Emblem debate, I forgot to mention a game that kinda has Fire Emblem in the title but definitely was meant to appeal to Fire Emblem fans: Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. That game is the equivalent of Star Fox Adventures, taking characters from a dormant franchise and putting them into a different genre in a game made by an external studio. It was as popular as a fart in an elevator. Unlike Star Fox Zero, which was also on the deeply unpopular Wii U, it got a second chance at life on the Switch. It didn't do much better there: https://personacentral.com/tokyo-mirage-sessions-fe-encore-debut-sales-japan-worse-wii-u-version/
So unlike SF0, TMS can't blame it's floppiness solely on being on a console no one owned. It just goes to show that Nintendo can't always plop characters from an IP into a different style of game and expect fans to come running just because they see their favorite characters on the cover. A standard FE or even a standard Shin Megami Tensei would have gone over much better.
