Nintendo has produced a snazzy new 30 second commercial for their upcoming strategy title Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
Handheld focused?
While there isn’t much footage of the long-awaited Nintendo Switch game, we assume that the main purpose of this advert is to not only highlight that the next Fire Emblem is coming to Nintendo Switch, but also to show that the Nintendo Switch can be used as a dedicated handheld, if consumers wish.
As we all know, Japanese gamers love playing games on handheld devices, whether it be on their phone or the Nintendo Switch.
