I'm a little late in writing this, but that Switch Presentation was bloody amazing. Breath of the wild looks like a beautiful game, Mario Odyssey is stunning and looks like it's going to be giving old times fans plenty of nostalgia, Arms is dope... but for me, Fire Emblem Warriors takes the cake. My first time seeing Fire Emblem was with Marth and Roy in Smash Bros. Melee, but at the time I just didn't know them and didn't think to get to know them since I was still a child blissfully unaware of the internet. But when Smash Bros. Brawl came around, I played Ike for a bit and started to think about what type of game Fire Emblem could actually be. I always imagined it would be a sort of action game where you'd play as one of the FE characters in the Smash games and slice down enemies in a hack and slash sort of game, so when I finally decided to look at Path of Radiance gameplay and try the Awakening demo, the strategy genre caught me completely off guard. I was somewhat disappointed as I wasn't too fond of strategy games and it was completely different from what I hoped and expected. Of course, now, I love the franchise anyway and appreciate the strategy gameplay, but when I first played Hyrule Warriors and realised that the gameplay in that was a staple for the Dynasty Warriors series, I came to realise that a Warriors style game is exactly what I'd envisioned it to be, and the more I thought about it, the more I wanted it. When I then heard that Koei Tecmo made plenty of Warriors crossovers and were constantly approaching developers about them, I became hopeful, and I saw in one online article that they'd even approached Intelligent Systems (the developer of Fire Emblem). At the time, they didn't get a response, but just knowing that they'd considered FE Warriors and it was a genuine possibility made me ecstatic. Now, after a year or so since then, at a time when everyone suddenly out of the blue decided they thought it was coming, it shows up. Koei Tecmo, Omega Force, Team Ninja, the 3 same teams that worked on Hyrule Warriors, and then... 5 gemstones. Chrom's Falchion, Yato, Raijinto, Siegfried, Marth's Falchion. Fire Emblem Warriors. Chrom pulling his sword. It was the happiest minute of my entire life. I cannot express how excited I am for that game, it's THE one game I've been wanting for most of my life. The one game I've dreamed of from the very beginning. My ideal game. It's a reality, and we're going to get a god damn Direct about it in just three days. I'm pumped. I loved the presentation and I love that the best news I could have ever possibly heard is actually happening.  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH---
