Yes I'm aware that Heroes has made over 500 million in revenue. I'm asking this guy if he knows for sure that Breath of the Wild hasn't made more with sales of physical copies, digital and DLC (not even taking into account the Switch sales it has no doubt moved on its own).
Nintendo doesn't even give a **** about the amount of dislikes their Nintendo Switch Online videos have. Which was a much bigger deal then this, since that has been a problem plaguing this ****ing company since the Wii.
Give it a couple years and there'll still be arguments about FE.
And we know this is a hard rule how? SuMo wasn't even in the running for Smash 4's DLC because it still had well over a year and half left before its release when the last character for Smash 4 was chosen. As for Ultimate, well, we're not even done with DLC yet, so I don't know how anything from this game is conclusive.
We don't know that one unless you do the math and try to estimate how much is revenue came from 15 million copies of a 60 dollar game.
as a Corrin main, i can assure you, the salt will never go away
Half of these I never bloody herd wtf
Not to mention that by doing that you'll need an estimate of how many physical copies were sold, that's especially important as retailers get a cut for it which is why a lot of digital game purchases are scummy
At that pricepoint (and to be fair Nintendo games rarely drop much in price) it's $900 million. While probably not that amount, DLC sales and whatnot, yeah, it probably still made more money.
That.... didn't exactly make more money than Breath of the Wild. Breath of the Wild sold over 15 million copies. Since Nintendo never changes the default price of their games let's multiply that with 60 (which is the price of BotW ever since it released) and we have 900 million dollars made from sales alone, even if we account holiday sales into the mix BotW would still make more than Heroes. Let's say we multiply the 15 million with 40, we will get 600 million which is still more than what Fire Emblem Heroes made. Of course I haven't even talked about the number of Switch units that were sold thanks to BotW being a launch title for it.
I really do hope one of the last six characters are from BotW2. It'd be so painful to watch Ultimate go away without a single character from either of the BotW games.
Well also to be fair none of those series make up 10% of the roster
Sure, but "The developers of the Zelda franchise deserve another character" is a hell of a lot more cumbersome than "Zelda deserves another character".
Joking aside, yes, a lot of those COULD have been alts.
Byleth hate will never completely die down because "hur dur Fire Emblem bad".
If you want to argue about which one deserves to be in more, sure.

Everything related to FE Fates should be banned from Space and Time, not going to change my mind.
I don't think anyone wants franchise representation to be done on a cash-and-sales basis. People want iconic and influential franchises and games to be represented, and sometimes weird lesser known stuff.
Or, it may be better avoid the obviously subjective "deserving" suggestion and state why a character should be added based on gameplay and other attributes?
The thing with gacha is that it won't stop making money due to the frequent updates and manipulative practices, how else did the Fate franchise earn more money the the entirety of God-****ing-zilla?
Watch people try to use the 30$ Zelda mii costume of season 2 for their conspiracy theories just like the 25$ Rex mii costume
The thing is none of those franchises have no where near as many characters and games to pick, which from Fire Emblem spans almost 20 games with roughly around 500 to 600 named characters.
Assuming the second pass has a ‘promotional’ character, my hopes and prayers to goodness are a character from BotW 2, though it honestly just feels like Sakurai has a bias against LoZ characters at this point so I unfortunately doubt it
I'm sorry, but that's not even remotely true.
I keep saying that every time people whine about Fire Emblem, Sakurai feels more compelled to add another one. Though my sacrificial ritual probably helped add Byleth
Nothing has been the same since Nintendo declared it to be a major franchise after the success of Fates.
I know, right? It's baffling to me that Nintendo still treats FE like their small underdog series when it's honestly a pretty massive success when looking at the trajectory and genre. You'd think they'd want to promote their other franchises, but nope.
I doubt we'll get a Cygames rep, but they can literally rep all their games by just putting in someone like Jeanne/Lucifer/Albert. They all appear in all of their major properties; and I'm fairly certain that they're all very popular in Japan.
The key difference between Fire Emblem/Pokemon and Zelda or Mario is that the main cast of characters is what changes in Fire Emblem and Pokemon. In Zelda and Mario games, the main protagonist and major players are typically the same.
Bruh Banjo is easily one of, if not the most niche choices here, especially when you hold DQ3's launch into account
