They seem to want to create a lot of hype around their new games for the Switch and so are waiting for the appropriate time to showcase all of the ones for 2018. This is making everybody else whose games are ready to be shown (if not released) wait until the others are done. They might also be waiting for Square Enix's go ahead on the DQXI game. I think they can tell everybody is getting tired of waiting at this point though so hopefully there will be something soon. This would make sense. If this is the case I expect nothing less than an absolute extravaganza of new info for 2018 and will be very disappointed with anything else. (Though, I would be happy with any kind of plans they have if they involve showing more of SMTV.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IS: Dammit, this weeb bait's boobs are too small, they need to be at least the size of someone's head, now we need to delay the game! When do we ass men get any love? But regardless, if mid-March rolls around and we hear nothing, then we know the leak might be fake, and that the project is pretty much vaporware.

I wouldn't be so extreme. I can personally attest to seeing worse; we first heard about Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem in early 2013 and had to wait more than two years to hear anything substantial about it afterwards.

It couldn’t just be “a wormhole opens up, connecting the two worlds” scenario. This is a standard Fire Emblem game that was announced over a year ago, but not hide nor hair heard of it. My only guess is that they have to build the engine from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire Emblem is basically a glorified Excel Spreadsheet with how it plays and operates. A new engine likely isn't necessary, and if it was, it sure as hell wouldn't be a new one built from scratch.

Agreed, unless they completely turned it into an RPG with 3D models constantly moving around or turned the entire game into an Echoes style dungeon they won't be needing an brand new engine. That said, I doubt they are using the exact same version of their previous engine, especially since it's on a new console. They'll have made some upgrades and changes to it (but that's an obvious statement.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see them try that again but as a spin-off, not a main series game. As for the engine, yeah, they're probably just upgrading it to Switch standards. I feel like FE16 is ready to be shown, they just haven't because they're waiting for the right time, whether it be the next Nintendo Direct or E3.

This is probably the main reason why I believe we're getting the game this year, but why they haven't shown anything off yet. The base gameplay is either finished or at least mostly done, but they want to ensure the visuals and engine are look nice enough to show to off to the public without backlash. 58 minutes ago, Armagon said: As for the engine, yeah, they're probably just upgrading it to Switch standards.

Honestly, I wonder if they're also trying to polish up the animations before giving showing it to an audience. Despite the fact that I hope they give some visual focus on the combat animations, as they were a reason I got interested in Echoes so much (besides it being a remake of an old game and having an interesting story premise), I also know that the animations for both Binding Blade and Awakening were janky and unpolished at points, due to being first attempts with a new engine, and I suppose IS doesn't want to give off that impression.

Ivy Wife Supremacy Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Again gameplay footage is mostly from earlier stages that can be shown while later is better final builds. They do follow a schedule when to announce things this week could finally be the week of unveiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can rule out MisLeaker at this point since she said it would be revealed back in January in that direct there, and we haven't heard back from her since. 21 hours ago, ElectiveToast said: But regardless, if mid-March rolls around and we hear nothing, then we know the leak might be fake, and that the project is pretty much vaporware. Calm down, they have mentioned in an interview that the team got split between doing Echoes and working on the New Switch game after Fates. Since Fates got released back in 2015 they have had 2 and a half years to work on the new game, and I doubt they have nothing to show for all of that time. We are talking about IS not Square Enix, and FE is a hot topic right now because of FEH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer the question, my initial understanding of what the showing is supposed to be was a Nintendo Direct, but at this time I don't have anything conclusive enough to determine how exactly that will play out. It may or may not, I don't know right now. If you happen to come across any older claims from me indicating otherwise, I would suggest not relying on them so much. But yes, multiple sources have told me that Nintendo will deliver additional news about Nintendo Labo next month. I continue to stand by this. The last three points in no way influenced how I was left to believe there's supposed to be a Nintendo Direct in February though, because they only occurred to me after the fact. I think there's decent reason to have hope for another one soon, but at the moment I don't have enough to say for sure either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Grima Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 There is still one day left in February, so there is a small chance it is tomorrow. I'm still hoping for something this week or the next for the Anniversary. Nintendo should have an event or something. The Switch has sold amazingly well, and Nintendo needs to show something to keep the hype up for the next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
