Why does Nintendo want to keep this weebo pandering shit tier franchise alive? When franchises like Donkey Kong...

You think that Fire Emblem have a huge budget ? They reused the same engine for 4 games on the 3ds of all thing.

So you want a Kirby game by HAL then another Kirby game form Intelligent System 2 weeks later ?

Silly, OP, they censored the game because they want the sjw audience, they hate weebos

No, I'm asking why is it Fire Emblem the franchise Nintendo is trying to shove down everybody's throat

The only reason FE is alive is because it does moderately well overseas; the only reason it comes over is because NoA feeds nintendo shit while gouging them for terrible 'translations' and 'culture adaptations'. All they need to break even is marketing to normalfags and free attention from SJWs and porn addicts who won't actually buy it but will perpetuate its garbage constantly.

The main novelty is that it's a good and tough turn based strategy game with permadeath which affects the plot. The plot isn't that great, but it's better than procedurally generated characters. Before Fates, each death would change a significant part of the story. You won't be able to recruit particular characters if older ones die.

Play FE7, FE4, or Thracia 776 to see what I'm talking about.

Because it's easy return on investment.

This is how the world works. It's not rocket science.

Except the fact Awakening and Fates sold well and Starfox Zero didn't proves you wrong.

It was owed to the success of Advance Wars. The gba games sold well in the US so devs thought that there was a market for strategy games in the US

Oh, ok thanks

Any time, user.

Waifufags eat shit and love it. Have whatever sorry excuse for a story or shit gameplay mechanics and the defense force will come out in tow saying how wrong you are while having waifu wars in the very thread.

I would say no to that. They want drones. Doesn't matter how smart or dumb you are, what side of the political spectrum you are, whenever a Nintendo game pops up, your brain forces your body to pull your wallet out of your pocket.

If it was just for SJW's why would they even have waifu characters at all?

I'll let you in on a secret. Nintendo hates the west. Given the opportunity they would gladly choose to make a dozen games that barely meet expectations in the east than make one game that sells gangbusters overseas that their local jap market doesn't like.

Yeah no shit genius, a game released on a platform nearly 8 times larger than the Wii U's install base will sell better.

Or, you know, Starfox Zero was shit. Your thread is garbage, OP.

For the same reason any business would want to keep something profitable around: It makes money.

Bingo. Perfect example: Nintendo's shunning of the staggeringly-popular-in-the-west made-in-the-west Metroid Prime series, in favour of that homemade Other M crap that's effectively killed the franchise on this side of the pacific.

It was probably both.

Sadly they couldnt remove them before release in the west.

Because Donkey Kong and especially Star Fox were ruined by furfags and add Kirby to the mix then you get almost zero waifus next to Fire Emblem.

Those are kikes. All of them. Marxism sees a bad word and redefines the concept itself with new words to make it “good” now. That’s what they want done. Kill them all.

And then when they force those people who makes those games to rush them out in shitty states, you'll be asking the same question about the other franchises. Why don't you ask the other teams why don't they give more ideas to nintendo?

Developing games isn't like pushing a magic button, you literal nigger.

You damn fuck, FE never used to be about the weeb pandering, i want it to be good again

Is the remake decent?

The resources being put towards Fire Emblem would be better off elsewhere.

Other threads have told me it's a faithful remake but the translation varies between "okay" and "stupid." And the DLC is vomit-inducing.

It's a good remake that's held back by massive DLC kikery and subpar localization.
Pirate it if you can or get it used

>Why does [Corporation] want to keep _ Alive
WELL. MY FRIEND. HERE IS YOUR ANSWER. Don't worry, I hate it too.

Because the development team that make the games aren't owned by Nintendo so they make the games they want to make instead of the games that would sell. They said they wanted to bring back Advanced Wars recently anyway.

no one likes platformers outside of mario anymore.
starfox zero had shitty controls and effectively killed itself
kirby is doing alright but nothing crazy.

the only thing worth playing from nintendo is splatoon 2 but that shit is gonna be locked behind overprice piece of shit switch and paid online, and no one knows what their gonna fucking do with the 3ds either its gonna live for another year or two or its getting replaced soon.
the 3ds was probably the only save and grace nintendo has had for past 4 years and they waste everything on the wii u and switch instead of balls deep with the 3ds.

When? I don't think I've ever come across furry Donkey Kong art.

Japanese people cannot be weaboos, user. You see, they already are Japanese.
You also realise that a company as big as Nintendo has multiple dev teams that make different games, right? You do realise you sound like a retard, right?

wow, shocker.

...

Nintendo are morons for all their games.

Fire Emblem Awakening was a very highly received game for a good reason, it took the ideas already existing and made them finally marketable. It was a very accessible game that has enough depth to impress the 99% of gamers who had never even played a Fire Emblem game before. Also, the dating elements actually had an impact on the game, as the most dominating characters were the kids. I mean, Fire Emblem was as good as dead before Awakening. It's essentially a casual version of Final Fantasy Tactics which is one of the most criminally underrated games in the series. Nintendo pushes it because Final Fantasy became shit (at least to Western gamers) and people needed a new RPG.

Nintendo needs to open a new unit for making the waifu strategy autism RPG so they can get Intelligent Systems back on proper sequels to these two.

This. It sold like crazh

Yeah about that…

...

I will never know how they managed to sell 5.5 million copies of a piece of shit like Tomodachi Life.

It has some charm, and I think there was some deal at the time with that game and another.

Still, not bad at all for a relatively unknown game for the normalfag audience.

Fire Emblem: Awakening was beaten out in sales by the following:

I liked Awakening. I avoided Fates because of the censorship and because I didn't feel like buying two games with a third "true path". That and I also thought that Fates tried to shove the dating sim element where it didn't make as much sense as Awakening where there was an actual context that justified it. And while I had played Fire Emblem before, Awakening rekindled a new interest in the franchise for me and made me want to go back and try to beat Path of Radiance, Sacred Stones and Radiant Dawn and I even got Echoes on release date, which I'd never done for a Fire Emblem game. The one thing I didn't like about Awakening was the "ending", but I felt like they more than made up for it with the more climactic ending to the Future Past DLC, which was really the ending the game's story deserved in my opinion

I've been enjoying Echoes, but I will admit that I kinda wish that I could Alm dump Celica for Claire. Actually, the whole game might have been better without Celica. But at least we they added based Berkut.

For a Fire Emblem game, it sold remarkably well. Before, Fire Emblem was just "oh, yeah, that game I will never play that Marth & Roy in Smash Bros. are from". Now, we live in a world where Fire Emblem has become more relevant than Metroid. And it's all thanks to Chrom and his princely member.

Okay good. I want fire emblem to fucking die. Personally, I've been wanting to take a more centrist approach BUT GOD DAMN I DO NOT WANT MORE SHITTY MEME EMBLEM CHARACTERS IN SMASH BROTHERS. ALSO, CLOUD WAS A MISTAKE. BAYONETTA GETS A PASS BECAUSE OF THE WII U EXCLUSIVE GAME, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I AM FED THE FUCK UP.

Please, Sakurai. Quit working on the next Smash. You can your course. Just let the younger, more passionate people take over. Go, be gay with your tranny friend and husband or whatever.

Full retard.

I dunno, why do a lot of companies seem to be actively trying to kill themselves?

...

lmao

still, people have made the revamped series out to be one of Nintendo's key franchises and that Awakening was one of the top selling titles. Considering it was beaten by 3 titles that were Japan only, I think the bloggers that dicksuck this series overstate the games importance to the point that they seem delusional.

fucking end these meme games already. what is it with Nintendo and Dynasty Warriors?

Maybe some people exaggerate, but there's no denying that Fire Emblem has really come up from the obscure, largely Japanese only, franchise that it used to be and that Nintendo seems intent on pushing the franchise further and making it one of its more recognizable IP's.

Because they've been trying to capitalize the otaku market.

So how many "culture adaptations" are they going to make in this one?

Nothing that assumes natural gender roles or puts "stronk women" in vulnerable positions I'm guessing.

They're not doing a very good job.

I'm not talking about Treehouse.
NoJ seems to be trying to capitalize that market and try to get some of those otaku bucks.

Echoes was pretty straight for the most part.

Oh. Yeah, NoJ is completely going for the otaku buck. I imagine this sort of things makes a shit load more dosh then it does in the US.

Cause making a matchmaker game in cover of a shitty copy/paste TRPG is easy money.

Put simply, they're getting shit load of money out of little to no effort.

Because:
A) Nintendo is retarded.
B) IIRC fire emblem sold like hotcakes and they want to ride the wave.
C) Making a strategy game is infinity easier than making a 3d platformer.
E) They are afraid that whatever they put out will get the same reaction as duke nukem forever, Starfox adventures, and most sonic games got. Which is to say, the fans screaming "THE OLD ONES WERE BETTER! YOU FUCKED IT ALL UP!" Admittedly they deserved most of it.
F) They are scared that the switch is going to fail as hard as the WiiU so they want to go with a "sure bet" like a new fire emblem, because they already KN OW that the audience is there, unlike DK, SF, Kirby and Metroid.

The thing is, there is a market for this stuff in the USA, but NoA let Treehouse ruin things with Mirage Sessions by censoring stuff that only alienated the one niche demographic who probably would have bought the game.

And I honestly don't think it's really a matter of politics with Treehouse, I think it's about money. If they can't find more stuff that needs "localizing" or censoring, then there's really not much point in Nintendo continuing to hire them. Also, Nintendo of America seems at odds with itself at times when it comes to its image. I think they just didn't really have a clue how to handle something like Mirage Sessions.

None of those sell shit so I don't know what you thing the word marketable means.

A) Well, yes.
B) It did not sell like hotcakes, as seen on the chart above.
C) Not really, if you've ever made a strategy game.
D) Where is D?
E) I suppose, but most of the new games in their franchises they've put out have been decent i.e. Zelda, Mario.
F) Audience is not there, speaking on a worldwide scale a new Monster Hunter game would be far more marketable.

Yeah, that's true. Star Fox is the best selling series out of the three but the issue is that Nintendo has dragged their feet with regards to the franchise. Starfox on SNES is one of the top 20 selling titles while Starfox 64 is in the top ten. Despite that, the Starfox 64 3DS remake sold less than a million units.

Typical faggot, always looking for the D.

reddit plz

Nintendo isn't arbitrarily picking out Fire Emblem, dude. They're promoting and developing Fire Emblem for the simple fact that it sells and makes money. It has a devoted fanbase and has enjoyed greater mainstream success due to a number of recently more successful and well received titles in the franchise and the cost of making the game really isn't that much given its fairly simple formula. An IP like Star Fox hasn't enjoyed any serious mainstream success in years and basically can do nothing at this point except ride the nostalgia of Star Fox 64 and "BARREL ROLL" memes which if Zeros' sales are any clue has worn thin, and I would say that a game like Star Fox Zero cost more money to make than something like Fates or Echoes or Heroes while making far less money back. Compared to what is demanded of a Star Fox game, Fire Emblem is fairly low-end on the production cost scale and yet is more easily marketable to the wider fans of J-RPG's and anime while also having a devoted fanbase in its own right.

Stupid question. If you pander to weebs and Japs, you sell lots of merchandise on top of the games. Make a nendoroid/figma/whatever of Marth and FE Waifu #2, it gets sold easily. They sell pretty well and they don't seem like they'd be very costly or time-intensive to make compared to most franchises.

I wonder who is behind this thread.
Either pic related or a millennial that never played a fire emblem game before the 3ds.

Kirby is the only franchise that sells even remotely well. DK's good but sells like shit, and no one even knows what Star Fox is. The only ones buying SF are nostalgiafags who thought the N64 game was fun.

All sell better than Fire Emblem

You realize that FE was going to be canceled before Awakening, which sold like hotcakes? How about you compare the newest entries, instead?

An argument could be made for Kirby, and Freeze Dong was on a less popular console, so those numbers are good. But Star Fox is fucking dead, and don't pretend like it isn't.

It should have fucking stayed that way.
Would have preferred it went out on a high note than have it's corpse raped like this.

Yes.
Fuck off.

What 4 games? There's just Awakening, Fates, and Echoes, right?

Why are you weebs so defensive?
Why is everyone on this board so new?
Why is it that faggots can post stale memes that are circulated on reddit without being called out?
Why is everything shit?

Because of you, because of faggots like you.

I don't think nintendo knows what they are doing anymore. I'm very disappointed in them. I really had high hopes for them, but now with the switch and all their horrible decisions they have made with it, and pokemon go of course, I'm left with no place to play my video games.
shit
shit
shit
shit

foss linux gaming is where it's at.

That's like saying that Ouya's where it's at. Has about as many games.

...

Also, Fire Emblem probably doesn't cost very much to make compared to most other franchises. And even something like Fire Emblem Warriors which will be more on the higher end as far as FE games go is being outsourced.

They know that it's more worth their time from a business perspective to focus on a franchise that is relatively cheap to produce and yet sells in higher volumes. There are very good reasons why FE is getting more attention that Star Fox or Metroid atm.

Look at a game like Tomodachi Life though, the game somehow manages to break into the 5 million mark despite being a meme game. I'm not disagreeing, but the failure of Star Fox is more of an issue with the lack of attention to the series. Fire Emblem is small potatoes anyway.

Well Star Fox is dead and Metroid is likely being worked on for Switch/3DS at the moment. FE is a distraction if anything, until the big games are ready to go.

You just place your strongest units back to combat random reinforcements so that you can grind your weaker ones.

How about several and only one OS that is widely supported. Lunix would be cool, if it devs wouldn't cling to DirectX 9.

You underestimate the rabid desire of waifu idiots and their willingness to hand over money.

Fates was technically separated into two games a la pokemon. Each game version had different paths.

Because it's marketed towards a completely different, albeit more casual, demographic than Fire Emblem.

I think it has more to do with the failure of Star Fox has to do with the fact that it hasn't really had a major hit since Star Fox 64 and most games in the "franchise" are quite literally the same game remade (Star Fox SNES, Star Fox 64, Star Fox 3DS, Star Fox Zero) with the actual sequels: Star Fox Adventures, Star Fox Assault and Star Fox Command having mixed reception among fans of the first two games who really just wanted another rail shooter on par with 64. Compared to Fire Emblem, which has had a mostly consistent formula across its main entries for the last 20+ years, an expansive lore and is now a decent seller in both Japanese and North American markets with respect to its target demographics on top of being cheap to produce, and which is being handled by a fairly competent development team. The problem with Star Fox isn't that it hasn't gotten enough attention, it's that it hasn't gotten the right attention.

People aren't buying SNES games anymore and Nintendo aren't making them m8.

Ninty hasn't had the slightest idea or interest in the west since Iwata cut off NOA's balls.

Literally nothing that happens outside of Japan counts to them.
