Rumour: A Cancelled Fire Emblem Remake Could Be Resurrected On Nintendo Switch

/guy says something on podcast

/every nintendo outlet reports on it

But if true... let it be a remake of Genealogy of the Holy War.

I'd not say no.

But I'd be okay with just getting all the FE GBA games on Switch too.

Please let it be a FE Genealogy of the Holy War remake. It's next in line to receive the remake treatment and give westerners the chance to play it officially. I'd be down for a Binding Blade remake too.

Unless this supposed remake was green-lit immediately after Echoes released (May 2017), back when the Switch was still young and finding its footing, I find it hard to believe there was another Fire Emblem game greenlit for the 3DS.

By summer 2018, it was clear the 3DS was dead.

Hopefully if it's real and comes to Switch, it's Binding Blade. Would be nice to have a more traditional Fire Emblem on the Switch after the more experimental Three Houses.

I'll take more Fire Emblem any time any day.

Advance WARS!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it means more previously Japan only entries getting exposure outside Japan as remakes, then remake away.

Who knows how far Nintendo's original plans for the 3DS after Switch would have gone? It might of taken the poor sales of Luigi's Mansion, Kirby's Epic Yarn and sadly the Mario and Luigi remakes to make them realize there was no future for 3DS.

@westman98

I think it's fair to suggest it was greenlit soon after Echoes's launch since Echoes sold fairly well. Then when remakes like Luigi's Mansion and Bowser's Inside Story started underperfoming they canned it.

Between all of the potentiality of NEW games on the Switch, it's getting tougher all the time for me to get too excited about remade games from decades ago. Sure it would be "nichey cool", but I would much rather see more new games than more remakes. No hate, I love Fire Emblem. I'm just saying.

I’ll take any Fire Emblem game actually. It would be cool to play the game that Roy is on. It’s like a tease with him and Lucas from Mother 3. Showing up in Smash Bros but the games they come from have not been released outside of Japan.

I want to a see a Fire Emblem GBA trilogy release. And actually translate FE6 this time please.

I'd prefer a rerelease of them over a remake, because the GBA FE sprite animations are just so good, it would be sad to see them replaced.

It’s ironic that how the original BIS was the most successful M&L game.. and the remake is one of the worst selling Nintendo published Mario games of all time.

They should remake Three Houses for the NX!

I assume if it was Genealogy, the mental incest subplot would be rewritten as it’s a bit strong, even post-Game of Thrones.

Hoping it’s radiant dawn!!

If it isn’t Genealogy the rage will be more fiery than the battle of barhara.

Watch as they do Genealogy but skip Thracia for FE6.

Dios ! Style Savvy 💙💜🖤 for Switch ?

I'm alone it seems in not wanting it be genealogy. If it is, they need to include thracia. Like, the mechanical weirdness can be ironed out; what about the maps? There are only 12 from what I remember, which isn't a big deal, but they are all giant snes sim City sprawls where the only difference between each map really is the placement of water, forests and mountains. I love how it's the only fe game that feels like you are fighting wars instead of battles and I think with battalions and Gambits it can be awesome, but honestly having a full game like that when post-thracia games exist is really, really weird. Like, thracia I think is the better game. Like I miss the big maps, but seriously, they were a drag. The only thing that really helped was that the arena was broken so you could steamroll pretty much everything

If FE7 gets remade, Hector MUST say "OHO!"

@Prof_Yoshtonics well, here's the deal. Most people haven't played FE 4 or 5. Personally, I have and there are some really, really good parts to both. Hell, 5 defined the series in a real way and 4 went off the rails in a way the series hasn't done since (because the giant maps are kinda a bad idea. 1 or 2 is really cool, 12? The novelty wears off).

What I mean is, if they remake a game half the world didn't play and have to redesign the maps in 4 because I really don't think all of them will work (make sense) and have to rebalance the game because 4 was broken as hell and 5 was hard as shit, then, they are essentially new games to everyone.

And the thing about remaking 4 is that literally no game that I can think of tried what that game tried since. That may seem like a sign that maybe it shouldn't be remade then, but it really does have a feeling that no other game, let alone fe has. I still think having 12 "capture these 3, 4 castle maps" is too samey, but because they're so big you're fighting the map more than the ai. Like every chapter is a battle of attrition against you and that's really cool.

I REALLY want FE FATE coming to switch 'cause i don't want to play it on 3ds's tiny screen

I expected a Style Savvy game to be released this year because of the Switch Lite but... maybe next year instead?

A Fire Emblem remake for Switch? If it's developed entirely by Intelligent Systems, I wonder if it will look differently than Three Houses, which was co-developed by Koei Tecmo. And I thought they were making a new Paper Mario game and an entirely different game at the same time. But they've worked on many games at the same time in the past, right?

As long as they include an easy mode like in every FE since Awakening, I welcome any remake/remaster. I'm still very new to the FE games. Only have Awakening.

I'd love a remake of FE6 and FE7, hopefully it's that. I'd be suprised if Nintendo remade Genealogy in this day and age, considering...you know.

Something interesting to think about for sure; I'm almost always up for some Fire Emblem. That said, as with all rumors, I'm taking this one with some salt.

4 and 5 as one massive game, please!

Should have been on 3DS.

@Porky I want those and Thracia 776, but yeah Genealogy has been waiting patiently than any other entry so it should be next.

FE4 please, if it is true

Yes I too hope it is a remake of Geneology of Holy War or even Thracia 776.

It'd prolly be too huge of a game, but a Jugdral anthology combining the stories of FE4+5 into one gigantic experience would be amazing.

They will bring most definitely more fire emblem. The franchise is at its peak atm.

6+7 would be great and would provide an experience with the complete story arc. It's a shame the west has not seen an official localisation of 6 yet. And yes, ports will be fine because of the character sprites and battle animations. Even Three Houses looks pale next to those animations and sound effects. And of course, Hector and Lyn. <3

Genealogy of Holy War would make sense, given it was inspiration for Three Houses. It'd also be cool to see Binding Blade get remade and finally properly translated. Maybe do either (or both!) and combine them with Thracia 776 and Blazing Blade.

Nah from fire emblem in want new stuff.
There is one game i want a remake off and after that sequels. Its Golden Sun, that game has so much potential. If nintendo doesnt want to let someone else do it.

Give me a chance to do all the routes in three houses first. Only done golden deer as time is a factor and other games to play

Please let this be true.

I'd love a HD remake of Awakening honestly.

I don't like to get ahead of myself with rumours. But after the success of Three Houses I'm sure they will be working on something. A remake could make sense as it should have a quicker turnaround.

I'd love to see a Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn for Switch but I'm also a little worried they would change the games too much.

Three Houses is a good game. I thought way more compelling then Awakening or Fates but the variety of battle wasn't quite there. The paralogue battles helped but most of the battles were destroy everyone / destroy commander. Take these 10 and go!

Maybe nostalgia is making my memories scew toward the Radiant series but I thought them much harder and the battles more varied and epic. And I'd like to revisit them.

If memory serves me correctly, I believe that the director of the Gaiden remake stated in an interview that he'd like to remake Binding Blade next. Binding Blade is my favourite in the series, so I hope that's what the deal is!

i hope so im more open to playing other Fire Emblem games thanks to Three Houses being such a fantastic Fire Emblem game

Really? Someone who has nothing to do with Nintendo speculates on something and you're just going to report it like it means anything?

If its as good as Shadows of Valentia: YES, YES PLEASE!!

As long as it plays like classic FE and isn’t padded with a stupid teaching sim, I’m down.

Remake Genealogy and call it Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Alabama.

Geneology? Thracia 776? The Binding Blade?

I hope it was the one featuring Lyn; she needs WAY more love than her status as an Assist Trophy in Smash Bros.

Personally would love to see a Radiant collection for paths of radiance and radiant dawn.

I fully expect the next Fire Emblem game to be a Style Savvy Personna, F.E. Mix. /holding vomit back.
