Nintendo considered Fire Emblem and Pokemon crossover before moving on to Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 21 Comments
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE certainly had an interesting development cycle. At one point, it was considered for 3DS. The team also thought about various genres. But in the end, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE was made for Wii U as a mostly unique RPG that borrows some elements from Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei.
Going back well before development started, the game’s origins also have some ties to Pokemon, strangely enough. Nintendo director Hitoshi Yamagami revealed in a Nintendo Dream companion booklet at the end of last year that the company’s Kaori Ando “proposed a plan” that would have featured Pokemon and Fire Emblem. However, since a different proposal was floating around at the same time which would eventually become Pokemon Conquest, the idea was abandoned.
Here’s what Yamagami and Ando had to say about the situation, as translated by kantopia:
