I was envisioning Ignis being a hit-confirm-combo style Final Smash, wherein Robin performs a string of magic-enhanced sword strikes and Full-Contact Magic, all while wreathed in purple flames.
I have a message from another time...Introduction video tag line: "Robin tips the scales!" "Lucina challenges her fate!" "Chrom is angry!"

I didn't click the link but if it is Alpha Omega Sin I agree they need to make a Smash Bros. anime in the style of Palutena's reveal trailer.
Why hasn't Nintendo considered making their own animated universe?
Like have the following franchises have their own shows:
Super Mario
Donkey Kong Country
Legend of Zelda
Metroid
Kirby
Pokemon (obviously a different continuity from the Ash anime)
Fire Emblem
Kid Icarus
And then have a Super Smash Bros. show to finish it off.
And none of the shows would have more than 4 seasons, a la Batman: The Animated Series
AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!Actually, Mario and Zelda did have their own cartoon series, and a lot of Nintendo characters appeared in Captain N, so it's not like the thought hasn't occurred to them.

Along with a brief anime about the first Fire Emblem that ended up discontinued.
Pokemon Origins and Kirby Right Back At Ya also exist, for the record.

"Tell them to shut up and have some faith in me." - dead flashback guyI think they should license out Metroid or Star Fox or even Zelda or Fire Emblem to a reputable anime studio.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!Is the Kirby anime any good? I've been considering checking it out.
I suspect the reason Nintendo hasn't done it is because they're a hardware/software company. They don't do TV, and they're reluctant to outsource something bigger than a 5 minute advert for Kid Icarus because of the old cartoons. But I'm just speculating.
I wouldn't mind Kid Icarus being adapted into a series, since the game itself is already basically a season of 25 episodes.
The format lends itself too well to animation.
🏳️⚧️she/her | Vio Rhyse AlberiaDespite being dubbed by 4Kids, many people consider it one of their better dubs, so the English version of it isn't that bad.
Also keep in mind that Sakurai wanted the Kirby anime to exist separately from the games, so aside from Shout Outs, cameos, and Mythology Gags to the video game series, the Kirby anime is its own entity.

Ignis' animation has the user engulfed in pale violet flames, then landing a hard strike that somehow scatters cherry petals around.
I sure said that!
