I'd rather he make a Star Fox game.

You know, a good one.

YES! So much yes! Fire Emblem is a great SRPG franchise, and everything Sakurai touches turns into gold. Perfect combination IMO.

I think Sakurai can do it if he really wants to. It'll make a great series even better. From what I heard, Fates was great and I can't wait to play it! Awakening got me hooked and is one of the best games I've played, even after playing some of the older FE games (which were great as well).

Though in the end, it's up to Sakurai on what he wants to do at this point. With Kirby, Smash, and Kid Icarus under his belt, he's prove to be one of the best directors in the business. I would like to him go for a new challenge whether it's reviving an old series or creating a new IP.

Well, I didn't play Fates yet (and what I've read overall from players is not that good), but Awakening was a critical and commercial success, and is still my biggest video games disappointment.... Maybe ever? 

 

The cost of turning a niche game into a popular one has been far too heavy for some original fans. Fire Emblem post-Awakening is basically a different series, too much changes and almost a different genre (at least a different focus, not on strategy and the battles anymore but on the eugenics/harem management). Fates Conquest is supposed to be closer to a real FE, so I'll maybe play it when it comes to EU.  But yes, I can understand why someone would call Fates a disappointment. 

As a long time Fire Emblem fan, I definitely recommend Conquest at least. The new mechanics add a lot of depth to the game, and the game is challenging enough that I had to bring the difficulty down to Normal on my first playthrough. It plays a lot more like Blazing Sword or the Radiant games rather then Sacred Stones or Awakening, which is something that really pulled me in.

I haven't tried out the other games, but I've heard Revelations is also well done.

Anyways, @OP: I don't have an opinion one way or the other. Intelligent Systems has done well with the frachise lately, so I don't know if it really warrants any major changes. Personally though, I feel like Sakurai's talent lies more with gameplay rather than story content, which is something I'd like more of a focus on for the franchise.

Ironically KI Uprising was initially a Star Fox game. Hopefully Zero will do well, can't wait to play it!

If he directed it there would be no cutscenes.

Not ironic lol that's what my post was directly alluding too.
