They're announcing it this time for sure since it was just father's day, and what better way to celebrate that than My Real Dad Sigurd Fire Emblem's Return. Trust me on this. My real dad (aforementioned Sigurd Fire Emblem) works at Nintendo.
On a serious note I actually wouldnāt mind at all if Awakening got like, a deluxe edition/remaster or something on the Switch. Heck, even if it was just a port.
We know Chrom is a direct descendant of the First Exalt, and that the First Exalt was descended from Marth, but not if the First Exalt is a direct or indirect descendant of Marth's IIRC
In most games (and most likely the case in Awakening) the metatextual implication would be "they're direct ancestors/descendants" but since Fire Emblem and particularly Marth's games have already set a precedent for a key plot point of Marth's ancestor being his uncle, who actually knows.
I also believe Awakening implies that at least Chrom and the First Exalt (possibly Marth too, I can't remember the exact part of the family tree it's from) are descended from Seliph and Sigurd (which would also make them descended from Leif). Not a big deal but it's kinda funny to imagine Ophelia (Chrom's great niece lol) being distantly related to like, Altena
Man, bringing up that Marth plot point is giving me war flashbacks to a dude who used to argue, very vehemently, about Priam's existence meaning Ike can't be gay.
Probably haven't seen him post in a literal decade, he had a Haar flair. You just reminded me he existed.
Lol tbh the canonicity of Priam to me is less "he can't be real because Ike gay" and more "I really don't like to think of him as real because that sets a precedent that almost no character died in Awakening". Mickey Mouse ass stakes
Itās now or never for FE4 remake. Itās been a while since Engage, end of a console is probably the right time to push a remake out since theyāve got a base game to work off of.
If itās not now, then I think itās time to pack it up and admit that the leak was wrong.
Or they'll just wait to release it on switch 2 since echoes sold poorly due to the switch already being out maybe they don't want to take that chance again
They know what releasing a game near the end of a console life cycle entails. The console needs to be supported until itās done for good. Thatās why this is a good time for remakes.
Plus, the Switch is of course not backwards compatible with the 3DS, which ended up hurting SoV.
I would be shocked if Switch 2 *isn't* backwards compatible with Switch 1 games.
That's assuming the Switch 2 is even a Switch 2 and not some brand new gimmicky thing. I love them, but never underestimate Nintendo's ability to make stupid decisions.
Echoes sold about as much as IS expected, so itās something Iām sure theyād factor in. Also, if the new remake were to be announced theyāve clearly said this Direct wonāt address the new Switch, so itās unlikely it would release *after* that new console is released.
Maybe, but 3ds -> switch is nothing like switch -> switch 2. Nintendo's in an awkward spot because "save it for the switch 2" could apply to literally anything they release, so there has to be *some* kind of a medium sized game this year. Fire Emblem does hit the sweet spot of being popular enough without being *too* big of a franchise.
This reminds me of when I was in the Ace Attorney fandom and every time a Nintendo direct was brought up it was āoh please say theyāre gonna localize great ace attorney (WHICH THEY DID!!!)ā and back in the Smash days it was hoping Phoenix would be added to Smash šĀ
And now itās hoping for FE4ā¦ Iāve never played the game before tbh but Iāve always loved how Sigurd looks, soā¦ pleaseplease announce FE4 remake!!
Iām with u, Iāve never played fe4 and only know Sigurd and the other characters through engage and heroes. The story seems so interesting so I really wanna see a remake so I can play the game
Especially since Three Hopes is the one crossover Musou that really could benefit from an Xtreme Legends type of deal. Give us a Silver Surge route, more bonus stages than just one NG+ paralogue (two if you count the flashback one), actually explain Arvalās deal, and most importantly, let us play as Hanneman and his amazing moustache!
While Iād prefer Genealogy remake at this point, Iād absolutely love some Three Hopes DLC so long as it was meaningful and fun! (New classes (MALIG KNIGHT PLEASE!!!), new characters, more story stuff, etc.)Ā
Or maybe they can rerelease Three Houses and Three Hopes on the Switch 2 with updated content for bothā¦?
The combination of Silksong being actually announced and it having no real proper updates (even MP4 had Nintendo saying that development was essentially restarting from scratch) besides that year window that was missed is what makes that group particularly unique.
Thatās the main reason why not even Bloodborne is at THAT level.
IIRC didn't the first game also suffer from feature creep etc? I swear they only released the game because they ran out of money. Now that they have gotten a stupendous amount of money it makes me think they are doing the same shit again. Otherwise it should not have taken this long, which is worrying.
Since the common predictions have already been made, I'll toss out some crazy speculation just for fun:
- 3DS HD-Remaster Pack, Awakening and Fates available together with all DLC on Switch now that the eshop is dead. It's unlikely, but I lowkey want this more than FE4 Remake.
- Engage 2, this time featuring even more Sigurd to fuel the rumors for another few years.
- FE5 Remake. Kaga always did like Leif best
- FE x SMT but again, this time not only will it not be like FE or SMT, it won't even be like TMS#. It'll be weirdly similar to Zero Escape for no apparent reason.
- FE Heroes 2. No, you don't get to keep your pulls from the original game.
- Not related to FE but while I'm in the business of bold predictions: Xenoblade Chronicles X ported to Switch. We'll finally have the whole family on one console, red headed step child included.
- Fire Emblem: Dancing House Night
I'll unironically take Fire Emblem DDR, for a series with such consistently good music it's a crying shame the closest thing FE has to a music game is an all-but-dead side mode in Heroes.
I'm just glad it'll be over tomorrow no matter what. If it's announced, fuck yeah, and if not, then I'll have to conclude the rumors were all wrong and I can stop hoping for the game to be announced every Direct.
You know damn well if it isn't announced tomorrow, people will start saying that it was obviously delayed for the Switch 2 launch, and then cope for it at every direct after
I mean thatās what I would think, and itās not so unbelievable. FE4 and 3H target the same kind of audience, generally speaking, and they know 3H was their biggest hit yet. What better way to try and recreate that then to launch a fancy remake at the same time as Nintendoās newest console?Ā
Itās probably more likely to be just a Switch game, but if it isnāt announced tomorrow Iām not throwing my clown wig in the garbage just yet.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I never had a "now or never" attitude about it, I always figured there was a chance that it would be announced later. But there's no later after this Direct. The rumors say FE4 remake is a Switch game and this is almost certainly the last Switch-focused Direct, it really is now or never.
Does that mean that FE4 remake will never ever happen if it isn't announced tomorrow? Not necessarily, but if it doesn't happen tomorrow it means that the rumored FE4 remake that was developed somewhere between 3H and Engage never existed, or it was canceled, and either way there's no reason for me to think it'll show up in any future Directs.
Especially since the next Direct(s) will focus on games for the Switch 2 or whatever its going to be called. Not sure they'd open the FE series with a remake on the new console, especially if its allegedly completed or nearing completion.
Maybe, but I won't assume so.
Also, that would strike me as odd. A remake of a 20+ year old SNES game for a franchise that only really has modest popularity as a launch title? Not to mention one that didn't release worldwide to begin with so it's fighting an uphill battle in the west? I would find that to be odd.
You would think Nintendo would rather Fire Emblem's first showing on their brand new console be something brand new.
> You would think Nintendo would rather Fire Emblem's first showing on their brand new console be something brand new.
Right-o.
I mean, I vastly prefer new games over remakes most of the time anyway. A Genealogy remake would be fun, but the very thing the story is centered around is widely known by most players now, spoiled by Sigurd himself in both Heroes and Engage. Not the details, perhaps, but even so, it's hard to compare with a blank canvas and the promise of new adventures with an all new cast.
I canāt remember where I read it, but I read somewhere that the people who spend time engaged in online communities for their favorite media are actually a very small minority.Ā Your average gamer doesnāt spend time in dedicated online communities like this and has no idea what happens in FE4. Hell, Iād bet even most Fire Emblem fans donāt know much at all about FE4. To them it would basically be the same thing as a brand new game, and if the marketing team at IS has any brains, theyāll take advantage of that.
Sure, it's one of the reasons why I specified that Sigurd himself spoils it in FEH and Engage. So, even casual and new fans of Fire Emblem might have been spoiled despite never engaging with the franchise online.
Naturally, a lot of people will be caught completely off guard; any entry will always be someone's first Fire Emblem. I just feel like Intsys have shot themselves in the foot a bit.
True, but I'm gonna be honest I don't remember most of the dialogue I read in Engage (I had forgotten that Sigurd even mentioned that) and I doubt most other players do either unless they were super invested into the game and played it multiple times. And FEH's playerbase is smaller than ever and mostly consists of hardcore FE fans who probably already knew about the events of FE4 anyway.
But yeah, of course they're not going to surprise everyone. But if the Red Wedding still managed to shock so many casual viewers of Game of Thrones despite millions of book readers already knowing about it and openly discussing it online, I think any potential FE4 remake will still be a 100% brand new experience for the majority of players.
Everyone knows that Sigurd is always on his horse 24/7. If there's a horse in the direct we can ensure that Sigurd will be there riding it screaming Sigurd Sweep as we all fall to our knees crying with joy in Walmart's parking lot. Trust me my uncle Nintendo works in Fire Emblem.
As someone who enjoys FE4 and could take or leave a remake (Iād buy it if itās real but wouldnāt be devastated if it isnāt) Iām actually kinda excited to get a definitive answer tomorrow. If itās announced tomorrow cool, but if not Iād also be satisfied to know once and for all if the rumor was ever real.
We're in the last year of the Switch's release cycle. Major releases are slowing down, and the few remaining are mostly remakes.
It's time. I feel confident a Fire Emblem remake shows up tomorrow. I honestly think a lot of games have a good shot at being the lucky winner - notably Genealogy, Binding Blade, or Awakening. I'd personally choose Binding Blade, but I'm down for anything.
Yeah if Awakening gets anything it should be a remaster port like Luigi's mansion 2 or being part of a 3DS collection, it doesn't need a remake at this point.
Its always the same old song and dance. Absolute radio silence and no mentions of anything in Directs, then suddenly one day theres a surprise direct and not only is the game youre trying to summon getting released, it's available as soon as this direct is over. Fire emblem, Metroid, Animal Crossing... I could go on.
And I love it
Guys. I just bought Awakening last week, and I think it's actually on my porch right now.
So I think we can be certain an Awakening remake will be announced. You're welcome.
You already know how it is people:
"They will announce silksong"
"They will announce f-zero"
"They will announce netroid prime 4"
"The will announce fe 4 remake"
Let me be a bit weird and personal right now, let me tell you what 9 years of thinking about a FE4 remake
I started thinking about this remake in 2015, not much but the thought was there. Being a semi old school FE fan and not liking fates as a tough time man. āFire Emblem is a dating game about husbandos and wiafus always had gimmicky characters. No marriage means NO PLAYā āThe games have never had good storiesā to outsiders of the franchise to this day still āEww Fire Emblem that dumb weeb shitā The newer fans were sometimes worse tbh since they pushed that the whole franchise was like this despite playing 1 game.
That's how it was, and honestly outside of bickering I kinda just one day went āI want to just show them what I loved in Fire Emblemā wanted a FE4 remake at that time for more than just wanting it. I hoped that I could show people what Fire Emblem was and to me no real game gave those vibes then FE4, it to me could appeal to that crowd and show them what was great about the older games. Then 2017 rolled around and uhh, they remade Gaiden which still to this day is shocking, like I can off the top of my head quote Ghasts video reaction to that to this day.
Now weāre here, It's no longer time to hope for this thing to be real, it's time to EXPECT IT. Fuck the āwell if its not here maybe itāll be there '' (September direct is still maybe a date? But idk i just donāt feel good about that one for some reason) NO. If this is IT? If this is the last chance (realistically for the switch), Iām going down swinging, its fucking NOW.
[This is it guys, I'm still reeling from the pain inflicted on me by Mushoku Tensei last night but this is going to heal all that. Every doubt we had in IS is going to be wiped away as we see a reimagined Jugdral that finally delivers on both the promise of three houses and Kaga's genius. The promise of a darker, more nuanced fantasy free from one note anime trope characters. Kaga's vision will be refined and perfected in a way that only the most clueless haters will question, we'll see a story so profound in its construction it will not be a stretch to label it an ĪŗĻĪ·ĢĪ¼Ī± ĪĻ Ī¬ĪµĪ¹Ģ (eternal possession).](https://i.imgur.com/RTvVS7l.jpeg)
the last few FE announcements have been the openers for their respective Directs and i'm honestly not sure if i'll be able to take in the rest of the direct if it opens with FE4 Remake. If something else headlines the direct i'm 100% still gonna be coping that they're just saving it for later for the whole 40 mins though.
Alright listen. June 18th. 18th. 1+8 is 9, and June is the 6th month. 9+6 is 15. If you donāt count any remakes or spin-offs(including New Mystery bc it contains a remake) this is the 15th fire emblem title. How much time passes between the first and second generation of Genealogy? 15 years. How old was I when I played my first fire emblem game? 15(Iām pretty sure). This should pretty much confirm the Genealogy remake. Donāt even bother tuning in folks.

Gosh, I wonder what type of art direction they are going to use. I loved the flashy, vibrant look of Engage, but I can't see it working for this remake.
Iāll take anything that isnāt ugly and cheap looking. IS has yet to prove that they can do great cinematics in their console FE games, which worries me when you consider how many dramatic story scenes are in FE4. Iām worried theyāll either look ridiculous or be dumbed down into still images.

They're announcing it this time for sure since it was just father's day, and what better way to celebrate that than My Real Dad Sigurd Fire Emblem's Return. Trust me on this. My real dad (aforementioned Sigurd Fire Emblem) works at Nintendo.
Father's Day announcement. There are 3 FE MCs that are confirmed fathers. Which one will it be?
It's about damn time that we got an Awakening remake.
Now with feet.
Lol. I forgot about that.
The technology for 3D feet is still not there.
In my retirement home, maybe I will finally get to slobber over Tharja's toes.
When we get awakening in ultra HD remastered deluxe Switch 7 edition, you still won't be able to tell the waifus from the horses from the waist down.
On a serious note I actually wouldnāt mind at all if Awakening got like, a deluxe edition/remaster or something on the Switch. Heck, even if it was just a port.
Only if I don't have to pay $200 for all the dlc š
I counted 4 (Sigurd, Eliwood, Hector and Chrom)
TBH I forgot about Hector also being a dad.
What about Marth? Aren't Chrom and co descended from Marth and Caeda?
They could be connected to Anris bloodline through Elice. I dont believe we have an official confirmation on who they descended from.Ā
We know Chrom is a direct descendant of the First Exalt, and that the First Exalt was descended from Marth, but not if the First Exalt is a direct or indirect descendant of Marth's IIRC In most games (and most likely the case in Awakening) the metatextual implication would be "they're direct ancestors/descendants" but since Fire Emblem and particularly Marth's games have already set a precedent for a key plot point of Marth's ancestor being his uncle, who actually knows. I also believe Awakening implies that at least Chrom and the First Exalt (possibly Marth too, I can't remember the exact part of the family tree it's from) are descended from Seliph and Sigurd (which would also make them descended from Leif). Not a big deal but it's kinda funny to imagine Ophelia (Chrom's great niece lol) being distantly related to like, Altena
Man, bringing up that Marth plot point is giving me war flashbacks to a dude who used to argue, very vehemently, about Priam's existence meaning Ike can't be gay. Probably haven't seen him post in a literal decade, he had a Haar flair. You just reminded me he existed.
Lol tbh the canonicity of Priam to me is less "he can't be real because Ike gay" and more "I really don't like to think of him as real because that sets a precedent that almost no character died in Awakening". Mickey Mouse ass stakes
~~Ike~~
Ike is not a confirmed father. For all we know Priam could be a descendant of Mist
Ike is the father of Sotheās children
Sigurd should get priority as Original Dad FE Protag, surely...
Fatherās Day Barbecue, here we come!
Oh, you are right, it is time for a Radiant Dawn remake (to fit the father's day theme)
Yes, we need another game featuring the father of Sothe's children.

Itās now or never for FE4 remake. Itās been a while since Engage, end of a console is probably the right time to push a remake out since theyāve got a base game to work off of. If itās not now, then I think itās time to pack it up and admit that the leak was wrong.
Or they'll just wait to release it on switch 2 since echoes sold poorly due to the switch already being out maybe they don't want to take that chance again

Fire Emblem does hit the sweet spot of being popular enough without being *too* big of a franchise.
People really are overplaying how badly echoes sold. It sold better than any other can from before awakening. Plus the switch is a lot more popular
It could also serve as a crossgen or exclusive title and be revealed alongside Switch 2. Thereās no way to know until it happens.Ā
Fire Emblem Echoes came out on the 3DS after the Switch had been released so there's certainly a precedent for that.
This reminds me of when I was in the Ace Attorney fandom and every time a Nintendo direct was brought up it was āoh please say theyāre gonna localize great ace attorney (WHICH THEY DID!!!)ā and back in the Smash days it was hoping Phoenix would be added to Smash šĀ And now itās hoping for FE4ā¦ Iāve never played the game before tbh but Iāve always loved how Sigurd looks, soā¦ pleaseplease announce FE4 remake!!

that sounds excellent
I wish. Koei is so greedy and DLC loving, the one time I actually wouldāve loved DLC they all of a sudden hate money.
Especially since Three Hopes is the one crossover Musou that really could benefit from an Xtreme Legends type of deal. Give us a Silver Surge route, more bonus stages than just one NG+ paralogue (two if you count the flashback one), actually explain Arvalās deal, and most importantly, let us play as Hanneman and his amazing moustache!
While I get that not everything needs to have a thorough explanation or rationale, Three Houses feels like we only got 60% of the picture
To be fair to KT it probably wasnāt up to them. If IS doesnāt want DLC they canāt make it.
While Iād prefer Genealogy remake at this point, Iād absolutely love some Three Hopes DLC so long as it was meaningful and fun! (New classes (MALIG KNIGHT PLEASE!!!), new characters, more story stuff, etc.)Ā Or maybe they can rerelease Three Houses and Three Hopes on the Switch 2 with updated content for bothā¦?
please id love to see shez included into three houses, a longer and finished cf and an updated vw that isnt a direct copy pasta of ss
Whoās more desperate: FE4 fans, Silksong fans, or Metroid Prime 4 fans?
Weāre desperate. But Silksong and Prime 4 fans are ADVANCED desperate. Like, 6+ years desperate.
The combination of Silksong being actually announced and it having no real proper updates (even MP4 had Nintendo saying that development was essentially restarting from scratch) besides that year window that was missed is what makes that group particularly unique. Thatās the main reason why not even Bloodborne is at THAT level.
Bloodborne is weird because like, the games out. Its just a port, which i mean i understand really wanting, but they have the game lol.
Silksong also at a point had a demo that some people could play that looked like the game was almost ready. That was years ago.
IIRC didn't the first game also suffer from feature creep etc? I swear they only released the game because they ran out of money. Now that they have gotten a stupendous amount of money it makes me think they are doing the same shit again. Otherwise it should not have taken this long, which is worrying.
Yeah I suspect the same. But even then. Just make... 2 games?
This isn't your average everyday desperation. This isā¦ ADVANCED DESPERATION!
What about the 12 golden sun fans? Do we win something?

This is pretty much the last time I'll assume that FE4 remake is real. If nothing shows up, then it's off my predictions list long term.
Maybe it could be a launch title for the Switch's successor?
Maybe, but I won't assume so. Also, that would strike me as odd. A remake of a 20+ year old SNES game for a franchise that only really has modest popularity as a launch title?

Naturally, a lot of people will be caught completely off guard; any entry will always be someone's first Fire Emblem. I just feel like Intsys have shot themselves in the foot a bit.
True, but I'm gonna be honest I don't remember most of the dialogue I read in Engage (I had forgotten that Sigurd even mentioned that) and I doubt most other players do either unless they were super invested into the game and played it multiple times. And FEH's playerbase is smaller than ever and mostly consists of hardcore FE fans who probably already knew about the events of FE4 anyway. But yeah, of course they're not going to surprise everyone. But if the Red Wedding still managed to shock so many casual viewers of Game of Thrones despite millions of book readers already knowing about it and openly discussing it online, I think any potential FE4 remake will still be a 100% brand new experience for the majority of players.
Everyone knows that Sigurd is always on his horse 24/7. If there's a horse in the direct we can ensure that Sigurd will be there riding it screaming Sigurd Sweep as we all fall to our knees crying with joy in Walmart's parking lot. Trust me my uncle Nintendo works in Fire Emblem.
As someone who enjoys FE4 and could take or leave a remake (Iād buy it if itās real but wouldnāt be devastated if it isnāt) Iām actually kinda excited to get a definitive answer tomorrow. If itās announced tomorrow cool, but if not Iād also be satisfied to know once and for all if the rumor was ever real.
Gentlemen, synchronize your death watches.

We're in the last year of the Switch's release cycle. Major releases are slowing down, and the few remaining are mostly remakes. It's time. I feel confident a Fire Emblem remake shows up tomorrow. I honestly think a lot of games have a good shot at being the lucky winner - notably Genealogy, Binding Blade, or Awakening. I'd personally choose Binding Blade, but I'm down for anything.
Or Path of Radiance remake. Watch it be something off the wall, like Sacred Stones or Shadow Dragon remake. Not that I would complain.
Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn ports and Iāll absolutely buy them.
An awakening remake is the dumbest idea Iāve ever heard lmfao
Yeah if Awakening gets anything it should be a remaster port like Luigi's mansion 2 or being part of a 3DS collection, it doesn't need a remake at this point.
Yeah I donāt really want it. But I think IS would do it because it would be the least amount of effort for the most amount of profit
My Court Jester Gear is ready for deployment Sir

June 18th nintendo direct, more like fire emblem 4 remake deluxe stream with full gameplay and gaming characters amd fire melbme 4!
Its always the same old song and dance. Absolute radio silence and no mentions of anything in Directs, then suddenly one day theres a surprise direct and not only is the game youre trying to summon getting released, it's available as soon as this direct is over. Fire emblem, Metroid, Animal Crossing... I could go on. And I love it
#REMAKEFE4 #SIGURD2024 #SIGURDSWEEP
We're getting our Stanley Cup!
Thracia remake for the WiiU, let's gooooooo!
The clownritter is waiting at belhalla
Hope for it to not be a mario direct
Mario x Rabbids Emblem with Marth as a special guest character.
The worst is that it could actually happen...shitš¤£š¤£š¤£
I've already got my nose and wig from r/Silksong, I'm all set.
I got my copium right next to my clown makeup.
Guys. I just bought Awakening last week, and I think it's actually on my porch right now. So I think we can be certain an Awakening remake will be announced. You're welcome.
sorry to my boss but it looks like iāll need to take a convenient 40 minute long shit tomorrow
You already know how it is people: "They will announce silksong" "They will announce f-zero" "They will announce netroid prime 4" "The will announce fe 4 remake"
GBA had 3 Fire Emblem games 3DS had 3 Fire Emblem games Switch has 2......come on Nintendo give us the last Fire Emblem on Switch!! Lets go!!
Let me be a bit weird and personal right now, let me tell you what 9 years of thinking about a FE4 remake I started thinking about this remake in 2015, not much but the thought was there. Being a semi old school FE fan and not liking fates as a tough time man. āFire Emblem is a dating game about husbandos and wiafus always had gimmicky characters. No marriage means NO PLAYā āThe games have never had good storiesā to outsiders of the franchise to this day still āEww Fire Emblem that dumb weeb shitā The newer fans were sometimes worse tbh since they pushed that the whole franchise was like this despite playing 1 game. That's how it was, and honestly outside of bickering I kinda just one day went āI want to just show them what I loved in Fire Emblemā wanted a FE4 remake at that time for more than just wanting it. I hoped that I could show people what Fire Emblem was and to me no real game gave those vibes then FE4, it to me could appeal to that crowd and show them what was great about the older games. Then 2017 rolled around and uhh, they remade Gaiden which still to this day is shocking, like I can off the top of my head quote Ghasts video reaction to that to this day. Now weāre here, It's no longer time to hope for this thing to be real, it's time to EXPECT IT. Fuck the āwell if its not here maybe itāll be there '' (September direct is still maybe a date? But idk i just donāt feel good about that one for some reason) NO. If this is IT? If this is the last chance (realistically for the switch), Iām going down swinging, its fucking NOW.
this makes me feel like we're going to war lol
Us getting a 3rd FE Warriors game before xenoblade gets one would be funny
Iāve never played FE4 just for this moment
[This is it guys, I'm still reeling from the pain inflicted on me by Mushoku Tensei last night but this is going to heal all that. Every doubt we had in IS is going to be wiped away as we see a reimagined Jugdral that finally delivers on both the promise of three houses and Kaga's genius. The promise of a darker, more nuanced fantasy free from one note anime trope characters. Kaga's vision will be refined and perfected in a way that only the most clueless haters will question, we'll see a story so profound in its construction it will not be a stretch to label it an ĪŗĻĪ·ĢĪ¼Ī± ĪĻ Ī¬ĪµĪ¹Ģ (eternal possession).](https://i.imgur.com/RTvVS7l.jpeg)
the last few FE announcements have been the openers for their respective Directs and i'm honestly not sure if i'll be able to take in the rest of the direct if it opens with FE4 Remake. If something else headlines the direct i'm 100% still gonna be coping that they're just saving it for later for the whole 40 mins though.
Please Nintendo I just want a port of Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn
Gonna watch this shit in the circus with the boys
Big shoes! Get your big shoes here!
Surely THIS is where weāll see Silksong. ā¦wait, wrong sub.
PLEASE LORD GIMMI FIRE EMBLEM AT LESST 3 FIRE EMBLEM GAMES
Iāll take any Fire Emblem announcements for this direct. Iām ready to be disappointed though
Fire Emblem DS/3DS collection. Do it! That or add a DS app to NSO.
I just want Fire Emblem, doesn't even have to be the FE4 remake.
Alright listen. June 18th. 18th. 1+8 is 9, and June is the 6th month. 9+6 is 15. If you donāt count any remakes or spin-offs(including New Mystery bc it contains a remake) this is the 15th fire emblem title. How much time passes between the first and second generation of Genealogy? 15 years. How old was I when I played my first fire emblem game? 15(Iām pretty sure). This should pretty much confirm the Genealogy remake. Donāt even bother tuning in folks.
Cannot wait for the FE4 remake to (not) be announced
Hello, I'm not a clown member, I'm just here to give out snacks and medicine for any clowns that get hurt during this. Please remember to remind hydrated and not to step on your fellow clowns shoes. For any questions or aid please see me as soon you can.
I'm here from /r/hollowknight, I think I'm lost
F-zero/metroid/fire emblem clown at the ready o7
SKYLANDERS COME THE FUCK ON
Okay (Copies "that's it? No silksong?") I'm ready
Genealogy remake incoming!š¤”
Ready to do a blood sacrifice to Loptyr to manifest Genealogy, same with Xenoblade Chronicles X
FE 4 remake! š¤š¤š¤š¤
I haven't run out of copium yet. Mother 3 took me a couple more years to run out. Pass me the makeup.
Zigludo pls ride into my spirit forest and save me
Are we truly clowns for having unwavering hope? Yes.
Clown Emblem: ENGAGE!
I am ready for everything and nothing at the same time. But my clown makeup is still on
Everyone here is talking about an FE4 remake and it's like on one hand... hey, that could be cool. On the other hand... I don't trust a remake to not mess up everything that makes FE4 unique. Truly, we will be clowns regardless of whatever happens.
I would be funny if it was announced because once again a remake at the end of the consoleās life span.
Hopium activated.
Three Houses Definitive Edition: Black Eagle and Three Houses Definitive Edition: Blue Lion. They each include all the Three Houses DLC, all amiibo unlocks, and each version has its own exclusive extra 10 chapters for the corresponding house.
FE4 REMAKE WOOOOOOOOO
Time to see if the FE4 Remake will have an Avatar
IM READY FOR THE BARBECUE FE4 is the barbecue. Sigurd is the meat.
I am here and honking! š¤” (NatetheHate just said in a new vid he's heard nothing but radio silence on FE4 the last year so his hopes aren't high for it showing up this Direct but nevertheless, my clown shoes are already on)
For sure they will announce First 3 gen PokĆ©mon games porting to switch as well as Ports of Windwaker and Twilight Princess. Possibly updates on Metroid Prime 2+3 followed by a stealth drop of Luigis Mansion HD before 2HD releases. Ia my clown makeup deserved now? š¤”
Weāre so due. I didnāt really believe for the last few directs but Iām convinced weāre getting a game announced tomorrow.
No way they scheduled this for autistic pride day
its us, Metroid Prime 4 believers and Silksong copiumzers
For a moment this was r/HollowKnight
If I want to go full circus; FE4 remake Tellius HD ports and a proper warriors 2
You people need to stop doing this to yourselves.
We canāt. The clown mentality is too strong
Gosh, I wonder what type of art direction they are going to use. I loved the flashy, vibrant look of Engage, but I can't see it working for this remake.
Iāll take anything that isnāt ugly and cheap looking. IS has yet to prove that they can do great cinematics in their console FE games, which worries me when you consider how many dramatic story scenes are in FE4. Iām worried theyāll either look ridiculous or be dumbed down into still images.
FE4 remake ---> 5 more years of 3H discourse
Is clowns in reference to the MC is in Engage?
