VincentASM did a fantastic job covering the finer details of Fire Emblem Echoes -Shadows of Valentia-, but that wasn’t the only big reveal during today’s Fire Emblem Direct. We were also finally given an incredible amount of information regarding the first official Fire Emblem app for smart devices, Fire Emblem Heroes.

Heroes is slated to be available worldwide as of February 2, 2017.

Upcoming Fire Emblem Direct Topics

Earlier today, Nintendo posted several URLs for their Fire Emblem Direct coverage, which can be found here (English) and here (Japanese). They were kind enough to leave us with some details that we can decipher from their direct, including guaranteed coverage of more than one Fire Emblem title.

A neat little spoiler shared by Nintendo’s twitter let us know that we can definitely anticipate coverage of the Fire Emblem Mobile release, set to come out rather soon (within the next few months).

By the way, you may have seen some websites report about a rumoured Nintendo Switch port of Fire Emblem Fates Revelation, based on a line of source code found on the official Nintendo website.

However we have every reason to believe this line of code is merely an error, since the section of the page it corresponds to is for the 3DS version of Revelation. In addition, a similar error can be found on pages for other Switch games.

Regardless, the Direct still happens tomorrow at 5pm EST, so get hyped!
