When is Yoshi hitting Japan?
March 29th, like the rest of the world. Nintendo Labo has been the only non-simultaneous release on Switch so far.
This feels like a very weird take. Partly because we're talking days before May which in itself is a very arbitrary time limitation. Then that FE somehow isn't big enough, when we've had smaller releases as late as last year in a Donkey Kong port and Fire Emblem itself has released in a similair time period in the past.
I fail to see how that "take" is weird. When I say "Golden Week", I mean released in time for it, not just the week itself. This year's GW is going to be something else, there's literally a fully week of non-stop public holidays.
And I didn't say that FE wasn't "big enough". I wrote that Nintendo needed "something bigger,
that appeals to a wider audience". I'm thinking of something along the lines of Tomodachi Life or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Basically, the Super Mario Party of Golden Week 2019, if you want (+1m LTD). Of course, it's possible Nintendo will just decide that their current line-up is enough and GW doesn't need an additional game.
And that's not the reason I'm not expecting FE in April, just a gut feeling i've already mentioned quite a few times in this very thread.
