Tonight’s Nintendo Direct wasn’t as newsworthy as the first one for those outside of Japan. The pre-recorded broadcast was largely comprised of trailers and release date announcements for 3DS games in Japan.
The new Fire Emblem for 3DS was described as an original game being designed for the handheld. In Japan it’ll be known as Fire Emblem: Kakusei, which in English translates to Fire Emblem: Awakening. The report from earlier today that the first premium downloadable content from Nintendo would be released for Fire Emblem remains unconfirmed, but one aspect of the report was shot down. It had been said that the DLC would be coming in March; in fact, the game won’t be available in Japan until April 19, so it won’t be coming any sooner than that.
