I actually got caught up in collecting Yu-Gi-Oh cards. Ah meinlevin...
Anyway, again N_A, this isn't a matter of a guarenteed hit here, so much as at least putting effort in one Fire Emblem game. It may fail, but don't you think they should take the risk when they can afford it? I think it is indeed stupid to take risks all the time especially really massive ones that could fail the company, but this is hardly that. Pokémon was a risk, but they didn't bank the company on it. It would have just been a game that didn't sell that well and that would be it, they would still have plenty of other stuff to keep them going. Fire Emblem could sell horribly, but the potential losses aren't so great that it outweighs the potential gains here.
I'd also like to hear your opinion on Nintendo's online stance.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
