Oh hey, Starlink. It's still alive and only Switch owners care about it because it's the best Star Fox game in 10 years. #NintendoDirect

-Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Methinks that there's big news coming, Three Houses was the "big focus" and it's in the middle of the Direct. Likely Zelda, or Pokemon. #NintendoDirect

— Galkroe (@Galkroe) February 13, 2019

Okay three houses looks liek fire emblem persona anddddd im all about this. #NintendoDirect

— Soulzach (@Soul_Zach) February 13, 2019

The new Fire Emblem looks less like Fire Emblem and more like Game of Thrones.

— Brevin (@brevin630) February 13, 2019

Fire Emblem: Three Houses because no one wants a game with Hufflepuff in it anyway.
