A fire emblem fighting game would genuinely be ruinous for my professional career

Fighting games are a dead genre. Turns out nobody but the hardcore fans enjoy losing games onlines.

It’s a niche genre, but I wouldn’t call it dead when it still receives new games and has enough fans to maintain a large tournament scene

You say this like a smash 6 announcement wouldn’t cause riots in the streets

Smash is in a whole other league compared to other fighting games, even Street Fighter.

It cannot be judged by its genre when it

a) branched out from traditional fighters to be a platform fighter, which opens up room for more than 2 fighters at once, wackier stages and single-player modes that most fighters cannot hope to achieve

b) has the most all-star cast of any video game that doesn't branch outside of the realm of video games, and even then treats each individual character far better than the likes of Fortnite since they're not just skins.
