It would seem that Japan did not get an official announcement for the Fire Emblem Direct on the 18th, they only know of its existence due to the American announcement on Friday. This is very concerning. Lower your expectations accordingly.
But they said there's Fire Emblem Warriors info, and there's absolutely nothing given out on that so far that they could reiterate. I also assume Japan would want to know about the mobile game too if that's getting covered at all.
I'm honestly baffled as to why this is America only. I can't think of anything they could do for that besides maybe a VC localization, but it feels too soon to be getting that kind of news when we haven't heard shit about how the Switch will even be handling its online store or what kind of VC it'll have.If it is a VC localization, ready the Mother 3 wojaks.

I wish I could read Nippon :(

JUST

It probably involves the Fates DLC that hasn't been released outside of Japan.
>>364275948
I mean, how long could you talk about that though? It's only two maps.
Then again what the fuck should I know, Animal Crossing gets a full hour direct and it doesn't announce a new mainline title OR even give details about its mobile game, they just play with amiibo for sixty uninterrupted minutes.
>>364271481
They're announcing an official localization of the card game. Mark my words.Please.
More importantly, why is Nintendo wasting time talking about a game that just started development when they're supposed to be be launching a console soon?
>Fates DLC
>Fire Emblem Warriors info
>Switch Virtual Console surprises
>mobile game info
>card game/other merchandise
So are fire emblem cards even a game or is it like pokemon where you only buy it to collect pictures of your waifus?
>>364277267
It is a game, but obviously a lot of people just like to see cards of characters they like. You have a designated character act as your "main character" and the goal is to keep beating the opponent's main character while building up a group to do so while protecting your own. Life is done sort of similarly to prize cards from Pokemon only you take one of your own when your MC suffers a loss.

>They're announcing an official localization of the card game.
I hope you are right.
So it won't have any info worth discussing.
>>364277267
>Like pokemon card game
you must have never actually played the game; because the game is pretty damn fun as far as card games go. especially the free version online.
>>364276086
>Wanting Treehouse censored cards
I hope it's a announcement for a new non-warriors game. while I'm wishing I hope it's also not shit like fates.
>>364280501
Since it's west-only, they'd probably only announce a game Japan wouldn't care about, like AdvanceCodename Steam 2
>>364279453
That is the essential gist of the thread, yes.
How fun is the card game? I would be ok with mobile fire emblem game just being a digital version of that.
>>364271481
>only Americans get paid services to begin with
>only Americans get FE info
Uhh, I guess we are now the guinea pigs instead of Japan?
>>364281268
It just means it's nothing of worth being discussed because as far as FE is concerned Nintendo couldn't care less about the west
My guess is just the late DLC, the FE Warriors trailer with an English logo and the announcement that there will be more info at E3, and the western announcement of the mobile game if there hasn't been one.

Why is the treehouse hiring such normies?
>haveto symmetrical fae
>be in shape
>have nothing odd about you
I feels like they don't want a weirdo like me playing their games.
>>364276086
>FE MOBILE
> It's the localization of the card game
>>364282110
That's just their marketing team. People functional enough to do translations but charming enough to be in front of the camera and do promotional stuff. I'm sure people doing the heavy lifting in localization are just as weird as you, anon.
>>364283095
I don't mind them being weirdos, but why do they have to be such libtards.
>>364271481
What if we get a translation of one of the untranslated games? It'd probably be FE6 because Roy if it did happen. That's a huge if of course. Chances are it'll be fucking nothing.
>>364283437
>FE4 gets translated
>censored to hell and back, arguably justifiably
a real monkeys paw deal here
>>364281258
I like it myself, but I imagine there'd be a barrier of entry due to a bunch of rules to learn and adapt to. Having to get cards via gacha means also puts a bit of a damper on how much one can enjoy it. Given that mobile games seem to value simplicity and ease of entry above all else, I really don't think it'll be the cipher game, unless it's extremely simplified in some way.
kek, why does Nintendo hate white people so much. Sony is from japan too, but actually seems to embrace both markets, rather than treat whitey like an alien. Nintendo white fanbase is full of cucks
