But yeah like, the military academy is a better excuse for a homebase than whatever the hell Fates was trying to do, they seemed to have actual mechanics built around it, and pretty much everything in the latter half of the trailer/a lot of the stuff in the first trailer made it pretty clear that you'd be doing generic teaching stuff for so long and would get caught up in a standard fire emblem war at least by the halfway point, if not sooner. Iunno why people are freaking out.

A day after my bullshit saying how much I like 3D World and Mario Maker, Nintendo announces a MM sequel with 3D World parts.

I'm gonna whine more often.

because the idea of a military academy is somehow more juvenile and impossible to them than a magical dimension where you send babies to so they can age ten times as fast and never see their parents

They can both be terrible!

If this had come out before Fates I'd be more optimistic but based on the designs on the trailer and the pitch its probably gonna be a ton of highschool/college anime bullshit, which I cannot stand. I'm sure the gameplay will still be good but holy poo poo the last thing I want from these games is a bunch of kids and their social life in murder school.

I think people are kind of annoyed at how much more directly anime FE has become over the years and setting it in high school is just a step too far for some

I'm curious what effect your house choice has on the story. I'm sure it won't be three completely different campaigns, but then again Fates had three campaigns so I guess it's possible?

Either way I'm pretty excited. It looks like it has a lot of mechanics that are pretty big departures for Fire Emblem (and I'm sure they'll be controversial), but I'm really curious to see more.

Yeah that's probably while I buy this anyways, and admittedly the whole "Three Houses" mechanic can probably add some good replay value. I'm betting its gonna be mostly the same game no matter what you pick in terms of plot and missions but the units you have at your disposal will be different, which is interesting.

But I have zero confidence in the writing.

Iunno, everything we've seen of the plot/dialogue seems fairly grounded? Admittedly we haven't seen a lot yet but compared to Fates's intro trailer which had that freaking camilla shot everything's been pretty lowkey.

And like I said, I really doubt you'll be in school the entire game.

The kids in fates were almost universally panned and unpopular and the mechanic itself was criticized heavily on both the western and JP sides. I would place money on there being no kids in this game.

I'm so pumped for Links Awakening. When Nintendo merged their home console and portable hardware and development I was worried that we'd lose some of the weird spark of their portable games, but pulling forward Links Awakening like this shows that they at least understand what made those games so good and ugg I want to play it so badly.

My favorite thing whenever a new Zelda is revealed is how bad people say it looks then it comes out and everybody's like "wait a minute, all the little flourishes actually make it look great!"

Not even talking about Wind Waker here, people said previous greatest Zelda (A Link Between Worlds) looked awful and they were all wrong lol

ALBW is one of the ugliest games ever made.

Mostly because it was impossible to make a game look nice on the 3DS.

...I just don't like how the style looked in the trailer at all. Sorry I guess?

It was especially disappointed with that lush hand drawn intro so I was hoping for something like that and instead it looks like a blander 3D Dot Game Hero.

I mean on paper, Fates doesn't sound like its story concept is terrible either but we all know how they managed to botch that.
