I
Just
But I
What
How
Nin-
-Sound of Aiddon.exe rebooting-

Okay, it's possible Nintendo, IntSys, and DeNA have too much money if they're able to do something like this that sounds like an elaborate prank. Seriously, I though they were winding down mobile operations, but then they do Fire Emblem: Among Us.

Also, I thought DK Bananza was furry bait. Hoo-boy, this game is full on furry buffet what with not just the original characters, but also deciding to do Uma Musume Lyn and Dimitri as a literal lion man. I have nothing else. Just...WOW

I watched the trailer before I even knew what this was and the second they switched to the gameplay/mobile footage my interested completely vanished. The first minute of the trailer is such a fakeout Laughing

So this game is absolutely awful, like Everybody 1 2 Switch levels of why did Nintendo even put this out. There is no strategy because your character just moves automatically, there is no deduction because it's limited to 3 people so it's instantly reduced to a 50/50 guessing game, and there is no Fire Emblem because all it has is Lyn and Dimitri. Baffling game

Considering they....shadow dropped this mobile game out of the blue, I do wonder if this is another Everybody 1-2 Switch situation where even Nintendo thought it was bad and just wants to get it over with due to obligations. What I'm wondering is are these characters going to appear in future Fire Emblem Heroes banners?

This game is going to close down soon. No idea how Nintendo thought this would be sufficient as is in the modern gatcha market.

They should shove some Dragalia Lost characters in there during an event if at all possible.

I'm assuming they'll add more established characters over time.

It might be cool to see their Shadow forms too...

Will be hard to add more characters when this will probably last about as long as Sakura Revolution, even has the same problem of being a licensed gacha with basically none of the licensed characters people care about lol

Not sure how to respond to this one as I had a little bit of fun with Fire Emblem Heroes whenever the mood struck me. This is a different level of strange, we'll have to see how it all fully hashes out during the first year of release.
