Nintendo moving to the Switch

According to the latest issue of Dengeki Nintendo,Fire Emblemproducer Hitoshi Yamagami has cleared the air regarding the future of the coreFire Emblemseries on the 3DS — that is to say, it has no future.

Speaking to Dengeki he notes that the game will “likely be the last mainline 3DS entry,” clarifying that while spinoffs such asFire Emblem Warriorscould still make it over, he reminds us that the next core title is Switch-bound for 2018. From there, we could just see series that were typically reserved for portables head over to Switch full-time. I mean, Nintendo is keen on supporting the 3DS through 2018, but the timeline afterthat is anyone’s guess.
