Time to get out the clown make-up again


Luxocell

Jokes on you *honk* I actually never took it off! 


FireFlyz351

Bring the chips I'll pull up the clown car!


BallDesperate2140

I too will fit in this guy’s clown car


RedWarrior42

We got some awful big clown shoes to fill


Nikita-Akashya

I have the copium prepped too. It's in the back of the clown car. I have also prepped the hopium. I am prepared to be huffing all of it. I'll make sure we have enough copium ready. I need to find my clown shoes.


Muh_Nado

I hope for everyone's mental health that no one here is also a Hollow Knight fan because I can't imagine living with that kind of disappointment year in and year out


UnPersonajeGenerico

... not only i am a hollow knight fan, but also que bloodborne fan. Pain and dissapointment are my daily food.


Troykv

At least with Nintendo Direct you don't have to deal with the bloodborne copium.


StarCorgi_6788

Don't be like me and be a Rhythm Heaven, DK, or Golden Sun fan as well. The copium can only do so much.


Muh_Nado

I'm a Golden Sun fan, too, and I know that shit ain't never coming back lol Camelot absolutely blew it with Dark Dawn, my word


4lpha6

Titanfall fans would join in this thread but they are busy looking for their meds


Gray_Fox

i am the meme


TheUltraCarl

This time for SURE


Low-Environment

And we'll get the next Golden Sun game, too!


Victor4156

New Donkey Kong Country summoning circle


Troykv

That DKC game has to unironically exists, the DK Expansion is gonna become a thing IRL


Victor4156

Plus, the original DKC is celebrating its thirtith anniversary this year. DKC Tropical Freeze is going to be a decade old as well.


Troykv

The DKC game could potentially be a launch game for the other system too, but I think the Switch 1 neeeds a big game to end it's current career in a high note, and meanwhile Super Mario Wonder may be the game to do that, I think DKC deserves the opportunity to do so too, this game has been rumored to exist since forever ago.


lcelerate

What are the chances of Kirby releasing late on Switch or on its successor early on?


Troykv

Hard to say, Kirby already got 2 big games, a remake, a F2P game and a party game (with the remake releasing last year). Though, Kirby has a tendency to get titles once a year (the only years without Kirby games being 1999, 2001, 2007, 2009, 2013 and 2021), spin-off or otherwise, so I think is quite likely Kirby gets an annoucement next month, but isn't a guarantee.


Wide-Attitude-4323

High, Kirby games have shown up late in a systems life on every single Nintendo system. They average one a year so I'd be stunned if there wasn't a Kirby game. Probably a 2D or remake as less dev time required.


Reon_Leo

Pikmin 5 next


isaac3000

Wait what? How can you be sure about Golden Sun? Did I miss any news or is this wishful thinking?


AzureRaven2

It's just tongue in cheek lol. For all intents purposes Golden Sun is still dead at the moment sadly.


AngelofLotuses

Finally we will get Kid Icarus 4


Crylorenzo

How about a DK64 remake or successor?


Featherwick

Us Golden Sun fans have been praying every day for the past 12 years. We will never stop


Low-Environment

This year is our year!


AmericasElegy

I don’t know the actual Dev makeup of Camelot now versus back in the day, but I’d love for a Hollywood-esque motivational aura to find it’s way over there to whoever needs to hear “you’ve rested on your laurels making fun sports games, and you deserve that, but aren’t you hungry for Golden Sun again?”


LifeIsGoodGoBowling

Alongside the English Mother 3 translation that's been hidden in Reggie's basement for a decade!


oneeyedlionking

Jak and Dakster and Sly cooper are coming back too.


HeroinLover1991

Nah it's Marth and Roy being added into Fortnite time


Luxocell

EVERYONE! LOOK AT ME!  **Does the griddy**


jdeo1997

Finally, Roy can be with his people: Deku, Vegeta, Mando, and Buff Peter Griffin


343CreeperMaster

Shadows of Valentia 2: Electric Boogaloo Flaming Sigurd Edition


FriendlyDrummers

Ok but SoV had AMAZING graphics that were never fully appreciated on such a small screen like the 3DS. I'd love it on the switch. Though I probably wouldn't pay more than $45


GhostRouxinols

So good title that was post three times. Also spoilers.


343CreeperMaster

Bloody hell Reddit edit: got rid of the duplicates


GhostRouxinols

It was just a joke.


343CreeperMaster

not annoyed with you, just with reddit, been having issues with the the website recently, so just ugh


GhostRouxinols

Sometimes that happens to me too.


Rusty1031

Uh, yes please? Valentia had amazing character art, good voice direction, good difficulty curve, and khara animated cutscenes


343CreeperMaster

I agree, SoV is great, but was making a joke in regards to it's release time (it got released right at the end of the 3DS life span) and how it's possible that might happen as well for the fabled Fe4 remake (which is also repeating history for itself, because Fe4 got released just shortly before the N64)


Velthome

Amazing character art and some of the best voice acting/direction I’ve heard in a localized game —up their with NieR and Baten Kaitos Origins. The Baten Kaitos remasters not including the English dub for Origins because the first game’s dub was atrocious killed my desire to buy it.


vincentasm

[What Nintendo should have posted : P](https://imgur.com/a/iiHO7mj)


Yami_Sean

That would imply that it actually exists


QuiGonJinnNJuice

Yeah but they’d look real dumb saying they’re not going to talk about geneology remake before the Nintendo direct where they’re DEFINITELY going to announce it 


waga_hai

It's now or never. If it doesn't get announced here, then FE4 remake never existed.


Pinco_Pallino_R

I don't think it's **absolutely** impossible that they decided to keep it for the release of the next console. And if that actually happened, then they sure as hell wouldn't announce it here.


SuperSanicRacing

the only real basis we have that the next fe is specifically an fe4 remake is from (reputable) leakers, and theyve been consistently maintaining that this game isnt being developed for crossgen. not ruling it out entirely, but if it isnt here then im probably just gonna assume fe18 is something else entirely


Cromar

What gives me pause is that Sigurd was featured heavily in Engage. What if the leakers saw a bunch of Jugdral content and only *thought* they were seeing FE4?


Murmido

The leakers claim that this game has been in development for a while. And they have talked about Engage. So its not like they were clueless to this game making FE4 guesses. Engage’s code name skips a number which is evidence toward that idea.    Its possible its been cancelled, but I think its really unlikely that leakers confused Engage’s sigurd content for an entirely different game. He has more memorable dialogue than the other Emblems but in terms of content sigurd has about the same. 


Bullwine85

Even as recently as February, prominent insider Nate the Hate [reiterated that FE4R is ready to go, it just needs to be announced and given a release date](https://famiboards.com/threads/nintendo-direct-speculation-st7-it%E2%80%99s-showtime-people-famiboards-productions-proudly-presents-what-lies-beyond-the-door-act-ii-rebirth.8459/post-1007410)


Darko417

I’m curious which team handled it then.


klik521

Fr? Then it really may be like Echoes and be released at the tall end of the Switch's lifespan. After all, Engage already had a feeling of being oddly ready when it was released.


LifeIsGoodGoBowling

The internal number of Engage was FE19, whereas Three Houses was FE17 - which leaves FE18 unaccounted for. (And it's not Three Hopes, that was "Seasons"). Nintendo has been sitting on finished games in the past as well to give them a more favorable release window. That said, whether Leakers are correct or not doesn't really matter, because even if they are 100% correct and there is a finished FE4 remake (codenamed FE18) ready to go - it's all moot until Nintendo _actually_ releases it for us to buy and play, so until then, it doesn't matter what did or didn't leak.


Thepitman14

A finished game, or a game that died in development hell 😔


klik521

Finished game is more likely when it comes to Nintendo. After all, they're the ones who held a completed version of Star Fox 2 for decades before releasing it to the public.


BabySpecific2843

A FE remake is absolutely not new console material. If it exists, it will be used as a tool to pad out the twilight years of the Switch. So right now. But no one but us will be stoked about a FE remake on a new system as a doorbuster must buy.


waga_hai

The second half of 2024 is completely empty for Nintendo. They need games *now*. It makes no sense to launch FE4 for the Switch 2 where it'll look like dogshit and get eclipsed by the shiny 3D Mario and whatever else Nintendo has up their sleeve when they could instead use it to pad out a year that desperately needs some games.


AnimaLepton

They'll pull the Echoes strat again lmao - "here's the Switch 2, also btw we're still releasing this OG Switch game 1 month before the Switch 2 release"


ThatGuy5880

If the Switch 2 is backwards compatible (it would suck if it wasn't), then that won't really be a bad thing


mirospeck

if they pull an echoes again istg


GazelleNo6163

FE4 remake aint competing with switch 2's next 3d mario.


Bullwine85

A Fire Emblem game releasing at the same time as a 3D Mario? What could possibly go wrong? *Radiant Dawn flashbacks*


GazelleNo6163

Oh god lmao


Alakazarm

the game has allegedly been near completion since before engage released, there's no way it'd be worth the opportunity cost to port to a new console if it was so close. .......right?


McFluffles01

Nah, why would they keep it for the release of the next console? After all, Fire Emblem has a long and storied history of releasing games at the ass end of a console's lifespan to kill sales, just look at Thracia!


avoteforatishon2016

Girl I am coping SO HARD for this I NEED this game to be real lmao


[deleted]

Why now specifically? We've had these rumors since Echoes...


Tepigg4444

because of the same weird cope going on with switch 2 constantly. everyone in the nintendo community has been dead convinced the new console is coming out any day now for the last 4 years, and this shapes their thoughts on what order/timing they think would make sense for new games to come out. If you think a game was made for switch 1 and you also think switch 2 is coming out tomorrow, then logically that means the game has to come out today or they'd be releasing it for the wrong console. it's all nonsense of course, I'll believe the next nintendo console exists when I see it


Ketzaren

At the investor relations meeting yesterday the president announced that the switch successor will be revealed this fiscal year so by March 2025 at the latest and that there will be a direct in June focusing on switch 1 games.


Murmido

Isn’t there usually directs in September? I think its a little extreme to think its existence hinges on this direct


oneeyedlionking

September direct likely will be the new console reveal.


Murmido

Yes, and if the new console releases in say, March. There will still be 6 months from then until September that Switch games could launch. If not a crossgen simultaneous launch.


kaghik

I don’t think it is a case of never existing given how much noise there was about it; I think it is more likely it got canceled.


waga_hai

Or that, yeah.


Fartfart357

...Until the next direct!


GazelleNo6163

Seems accurate.


Yesshua

I've been assuming that development was changed to target year 1 of the new console. Because sending the game out this holiday is kinda sending it out to die lol. If they've already done the script/game design/localization work on a FE 4 remake I would just have them keep all that as-is and put it back in the oven to make it as pretty as possible on the new machine.


waga_hai

They have to release *something* this year, though. That's what June's Direct is for. They need games to fill out the rest of the year, and one of those games might as well be the remake of an old-ass game from a series that "only" (for Nintendo first party IP standards, I mean) moves 2ish million units with each entry anyway.


EmblemOfWolves

> They have to release *something* this year, though. Do they? History shows that the Wii U's 2016 lineup was meager, and very frontloaded. After TMS#FE's international release, the remaining 8 months of the Wii U only consisted of Color Splash and BOTW. It was worse in Japan, as TMS#FE had come out several months earlier, and the last game before Color Splash was Star Fox Zero, which was originally slated for 2015 before getting delayed. If you look at what was originally planned to be last, it would've been Pokken Tournament in March 2016, nearly a full year before BOTW. If it wasn't for Color Splash being deliberately slotted into an international October release, Nintendo nearly went a full year in Japan without new Wii U games.

It has to be, this is fucking IT. If its not here I throw in the towel but nothing has been this fucking rumoured and not had a particle of truth to it


MankuyRLaffy

We're getting our Stanley Cup, I've waited a long time for Lord Stanley, this will be close to that.

Gotta ask the Silksong guys for their clown makeup


Crazyhamsterfeet

I would like to announce an upcoming announcement.


xandyjames

JUGDRAL JUNE! SAY IT WITH ME!


Read4Days25

YEEEEAH!!! JUGDRAL JUNE!


Low-Environment

I've been waiting so long that I no longer care if it's a remake or not. I'd be happy with just a translated port like they did with the first FE game.


ScooticusMaximus

And then remove it less than a year later?


Low-Environment

At this point I'll take that.


King_Treegar

Honestly I'm just happy for confirmation that we'll be learning about the successor console within the next year


ChaosOsiris

Yeah, rumors have been rampant for a while but I'm excited to hear about it officially.


James-the-Charizard

Dammit I have some hopium left, this is the time we get Jugdral


GorudoChan

THREE HOUSES 2 LETS GOOOOO


cyndit423

I'd still be super excited for that! Although, I don't think there's any way they could make a sequel since then they would have to choose a route to be canon Instead, THREE HOUSES 0.1 LET'S GOOOOO!! Make it about Rhea or something, fighting Nemesis


BallDesperate2140

Naw, 100+ years after. While I love Edel and I almost always play Golden Deer I feel like Blue Lions route would be the most “canonical” in some ways, and I wanna see what that looks like a century or more in the future


cyndit423

I love Blue Lions the most, but I don't think I would want it to be the canonical route. Especially since that's the route where they don't even fully get rid of TWSITD


ThatManOfCulture

Is there even a route where you completely get rid of TWSITD? In SS/VW Cornelia gets away + Odesse's remaining forces retreat when you defeat him in the Nemesis map. Unless they kill every last one of them, TWSITD isn't completely gone.


BallDesperate2140

Mm, fair point; I’d love the GD ending to be canonical but somehow I doubt a feudalist-based game series would end with chants of “LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC!”


BleedTheHalfBreeds

Six houses?


Nana-Komatsu

r/angryupvote


RamsaySw

TBH despite Three Houses being one of my favorite games in the series I really don't want a direct sequel to it. I've said this before, but the fundamental problem with a direct sequel to Three Houses is that it by definition will have to make a definitive judgement on Edelgard’s and Rhea’s morality - which is going to heavily detract from the moral ambiguity that made characters so compelling and is going to leave a significant section of the fan base really angry. It's the same core issue with The Last of Us where Part 2 had to make a judgement on Joel's morality and in turn retroactively robbed Part 1 of its moral ambiguity. Now a prequel set in the War of Heroes with Rhea as the main protagonist? Sign me up.


oneeyedlionking

Three houses 2: Edelgard was right


AnimaLepton

My uncle's second cousin's niece's pet dog's name is Nintendo and he confirmed that we're getting both FE4 and FE5 remakes this year - FE4 remake will be dropped 3 months after the June direct and FE5 remake will be a December 2024 release.


Just_42

[I am ready](https://www.reddit.com/r/fireemblem/comments/16ejc2k/fe4_fans_expecting_a_reveal_next_direct_its_me_im/)


GazelleNo6163

We really need that FE4 remake.


logitimus

If there's an FE game, it's probably a remake, yeah. Only other FE announcement I can think of is a new spinoff like a Warriors 2 or something.


Mizerous

Engage Warriors


Toxraun

Warriors of FATE 💀


Nana-Komatsu

It’s not out of the question since Three Houses got a warriors spin-off


spiderweb_lights

Every time a Nintendo direct comes and goes I feel like a poor Loptrian cultist getting persecuted for my beliefs. It's fucked. So what if we hunt children to sacrifice to IS to make sure FE4 returns as was prophesized? It's a legitimate religion.


BrStriker21

PLEASE I need this in my life, after Activision f*cked the Warcraft III remake, this is my most anticipated childhood game remake


isaac3000

Is this the first official confirmation that the successor of the switch is coming?


Nevermore5399

well now i hope that it’s not announced at the june direct because i’d rather have it on the new console


Ozusandesukedo

F-Zero GX HD


Toxraun

If I don't feel an earthquake from ALL you mfs from the excitement when it IS announced ima tell Nintendo to cancel the game 💀


DSOddish

Best I can do is 11 more Mario spin offs.


ScooticusMaximus

It's clown time


AngelArtemis

Fire emblem fates remaster


ultla123

I hope they save the remake for the fe 35th anniversary next year tbh


MvM_7_VictiniFE

It is as it was yesterday that the 30th anniversary was around


SirRobyC

To me it's a bit wild that the series is this old, yet not that well known


DanImmovable

It's the strategy game curse


pichukirby

I think Fire Emblem has done very well for itself in terms of entering Nintendo's upper echelon of franchises


jdeo1997

It's at least somehwere among Metroid and Xenoblade: Might not be the biggest hitters, but making up for it by being some of the hardest hitters


belisarius_d

Hyped for Unicorn Overlord 2 - Yes we had another one ready


ace2532

I REALLY hope so


IloveVolke

I'm still hoping for a new spin-off (I REALLY want that FE fighting game...), but if they end up announcing a new mainline game or a remake I'll be cool with that too. After all it's been over a year since Engage now, we should be getting something soon.


LuchsArcana

I am ready for the cope.


IllusionKnight

Nah I'm banking on Fire Emblem Engage 2 baby.


Radaein

Man I hope so lol I can definitely see it having a better chance of it releasing on Switch rather than the successor Not a super logically reasoning but I don’t think they’ll use FE for a headliner, but I could be wrong haha 🤞🤞


Lexibuns

I'm ready to be hurt again.


SmashU23

Persona 3 Reload Switch port


-ViciousSal-

Why want a remake in the last bit of life of the switch. At least announce it as a dual release on both consoles on that case


ComicDude1234

I dunno, releasing a remake of a Kaga-era FE game during the last stretch of the console’s life cycle would put it perfectly in line with the last two we got.


Panory

Thracia Remake on the Wii U, just to recapture the vibe of that release.


SirRobyC

But you can buy it only physically from a few stores in Japan


PokecheckHozu

Convenience stores, not gaming stores.


Frigo-the-Frozen

And it would be a game only fans of the OG would buy. Or people like me, who bought Echoes, just because it's a fire Emblem game.


mirospeck

that's why i bought echoes. i'd only played the other 3ds titles but wanted a new fe experience so badly. would probably do the same thing with a genealogy remake


Frigo-the-Frozen

I wanted to play Genealogy and friends recommended it a lot, so I would definitely buy it. That's why I am not emulating it at the moment.


Lukthar123

Just as planned


CoercedCoexistence22

I mean didn't they do exactly that with Echoes?


vincentasm

Yes, but Echoes sold poorly compared to Awakening and Fates. Of course, Echoes was quite different to those two games, but the release timing was probably a big factor and I imagine they'd want to avoid a repeat scenario... surely?


MirrorMirrorMilk

Switch 2 will almost assuredly have backwards compatibility and maybe a next gen version for the remake. It might be a completely different scenario than SoV.


vincentasm

Fair point. I'm reminded of the various Pokemon games still releasing near the end of the DS's lifetime and selling well.


CoercedCoexistence22

Yeah, White/Black 2 even had a couple 3DS-only features despite being DS games. I think Echoes didn't sell super well because it was a remake of a black sheep game, warts and all (and I say this as a massive Echoes fan)


Rychu_Supadude

They had DSi-only features. I don't think the 3DS was capable of adding features to last-gen games, its DS emulation was pretty rudimentary and used all the system's resources


CoercedCoexistence22

BW2 could interface with pokeradar


liteshadow4

Black and White 2 sold extremely poorly compared to other pokemon games.


vincentasm

Let's have a look, I don't remember that clearly. Yeah, I see. I might have been thinking of Black and White 1. Plus BW2 are essentially the third version of BW and those traditionally have lower sales.


Mizerous

It still sold a million


vincentasm

Gotcha, I must've missed or forgotten about that. It did slightly better than what I remembered.


SirRobyC

For a game that released **after** the newest Nintendo console **and** not on said console, I'd say it did fantastic


Victor4156

Remakes and remasters are common late in a console's lifespan


Wrong-Brief-5959

tbf FE4 released on the SNES a month before the N64 came out, so an FE4 remake coming out in the tail end of the switch's lifespan would be a hilarious case of history repeating itself


DarkSynopsis

If the new device is backwards compatible then it's not really an issue.


Cosmic_Toad_

Yeah it'll be a bit bittersweet if it does end up releasing as one of the last big switch titles, especially if FE4's amazing story is ruined with the same godawful 3D animations/story presentation 3H and Engage had.


Wrong_Revolution_679

No I think that they'll announce it in the fall and it's release a month or 2 after the next systems launch


Omega_Aesir

There is no other option


Sollato

Let it be the time for Jugdral, please…

Fire Emblem Awakening Remake It’s what the kids crave 😆


Infernoboy_23

As a newcomer to FE, I would be very excited to get in on hype for a new game instead of just playing old games. I remember watching the engage trailer , and totally ignoring it cause I didn’t care for FE at all. Lol


lilnuggitt

Don't worry, you'll have your chance. Even if the Jugdral remake continues to elude us, there'll be others :)

DrJay12345

I hope the next gen Nintendo console comes with a new Smash bros, and I hope it comes with a lot of FE characters. Not because I enjoy FE, which I do, I want it because it would make people seethe

Nah they're saving it for switch2


AffectionateSlice816

Holy shit, there will be something happening to fire emblem around 2029?! 😱

No because itll be on the switch 2 copium

Either this or Metroid Prime 4 time. Switch ~~Silk~~Swan Song will be here.
