Fire Emblem Online • Together We Ride

Nintendo announced the release date of Fire Emblem Awakening in North America and Europe in today's Nintendo Direct. The game will be release in America on the 4th February. Europe will have to wait until a non specific time in April however.

Nintendo announced that Fire Emblem Awakening will be release in Europe and North America Q1 2013.

DLC was also confirmed.

When asked at E3 yesterday if Fire Emblem Awakening would get an American release, Reggie (president of Nintendo America) confirmed it would indeed be getting a release in America!

Nintendo only seemed to show software releasing up until the Holiday period so a 2013 release is most likely unless they make a surprise announcement.

Today's Nintendo Direct conference revealed what the DLC will include new maps and new stories as well as what appears to be the game's opening movie.

DLC will be free in Japan for a short period.

The NoE stream also confirmed the game is getting a European release scheduled for sometime this year!

Fire Emblem 3DS was shown during Nintendo's Direct Conference last night were Iwata confirmed it is a new game but which includes features of previous games such as the world map last seen in Sacred Stones and skills will also be returning.

The DLC rumour posted previously was also confirmed.
