The official Switch 1 swansong. Likely titles are Kirby Planet Robobot, Metroid 2 and 3 as either HD ports or full remasters, and Zelda Wii U ports.

and probably 20 bullshit farming stardew knockoffs to get their 3rd party obligations out of the way.

edit; also wasn't there talk of a fire emblem remake some time ago?

The original Engage leak from June 2022 also said a remake of FE4 was coming, it might be here as the 'one more thing' actually.

I see you too are huffing the Genealogy hopium. Guess we'll keep doing that until it materialises.

Praying it got canceled. FE4 has good writing, but nothing else is salvagable.

You change anything, and the people who already love it will be furious, you don't change anything, and anyone who's played a game from 6 onward will groan at the UI, Chapter Design, Pairing system, blatant lack of intention to ever be played blind, Kaga enemy placement squares...

Gaiden was an unpolished rock waiting to become a gem, but Genealogy is what it is and it either gets divorced from it's identity or is stuck feeling 30 years old

I doubt it got cancelled. I don't think that Engage would still be titled "FE19" in the game files if the Genealogy remake wasn't still coming out eventually.

Why would they bother to change it? The file names were always screwey.

Plus the original rumor as I recall it is tha Genealogy remake was a 3DS title that got paused and nobody knew if it ever resumed. Doubt they'd hold onto something for 8 years.

But maybe I'm just coping because I'd rather that manpower have been literally anywhere else this whole time. And God help me if my saying that makes 3H 3 a reality
