Oops all Fire Emblem
[Update:Akrenix taketh away, but they also giveth. The inverse of the “no moreFire Emblem” mod is also out,and it’s called “no, moreFire Emblem!”which got a hearty chuckle out of me. This one actually only allowsFire Emblemcontent and nothing else, which is actually a cooler idea!]
By the time Byleth hitSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatein early 2020, enough was enough for a lot of people. Some people were sick ofFire Emblemcharacters flooding the game, and even though Nintendo hasn’t repeated the cadence since (afterward we got Min Min, Steve, Sephiroth, and Pyra/Mythra, every single reveal folks are expecting it. Well, now you can just mod them out entirely.
This mod from creator Akrenixtakes all of theFire Emblemstuff out of the game. That includes the characters, stages, and all references. Yes it’s a bit extreme, but it’s kind of funny, and something I’m going to be thinking about if we ever get anotherFire Emblemcharacter. Speaking of!
While this whole conversation has reached meme levels, and it’s gotten to the point where Sakuraihas to say publicly every few months that he doesn’t have final cut on who makes it in; any character that’s fun is going to get playtime out of me, full stop. If we get yet anotherFire Emblemcharacter and their design holds their own, so be it.
It also has me thinking: where the hell does Nintendo go from here? Will Sakurai keep working onSmashafterUltimate? Is Nintendo going to release a new “GOTY” editionon a potential future “Switch Pro” system? What about after that? If the Super Switch gets a newSmashwithout Sakurai at the helm, and without all of theUltimatecontent so far: how is that going to be received?
