Sure! Here’s a more casual version of your article:

So, I stumbled upon some interesting stuff about Nintendo, and I just had to share. Apparently, they’re cooking up a new strategy RPG for the Switch 2. Yeah, you heard it right—a console exclusive. Might even be another Fire Emblem game. Who knew?
Last time we saw a main Fire Emblem game was back in January 2023, when FE Engage came out. I remember it because it was freezing outside, and the only thing keeping me warm was my endless battles—virtual ones, you know? Anyway, a couple of years went by, and now rumors are swirling around—something new is supposedly brewing.
Now, here’s where it gets juicy. This YouTuber called Doctre81 did some detective work and found this LinkedIn profile of a guy named Takeshi Maruyama. He’s a hotshot 3D character modeler or something like that, and he mentioned working on a “sequel of Nintendo’s SPRG” for the Switch 2. Whatever that means. Sounds like Nintendo is up to something sneaky, right?
Okay, now let’s take a step back. Nintendo owns Fire Emblem, which is pretty much their only big-name SRPG (why is that?). So, the whole LinkedIn thing could easily point to another Fire Emblem entry. Although, could be something else like the Wars series. Remember that? It’s been asleep since 2008 until the reboot in 2023 woke it up.
Takeshi’s LinkedIn says he was contracted for this secret project between January and April 2025. Four months of modeling—sounds like a normal gig in the big game dev world. He was probably hitting that 3D character stuff right when the project was heating up. So, can we expect to see something soon? Meh, who knows. These things often take years.
Yet, I came across a report somewhere—can’t remember where exactly—that a new Fire Emblem is expected to be announced in 2025. Typical Nintendo, right? Announce one day, release the next. Keeps us on our toes.
And that’s about it! Kinda messy, but there you go. Have at it and tell me what you think.
