Nintendo Direct have revealed the release date for Fire Emblem: Awakening. The game will be available on 19 April, exactly one year after the game has been released in Japan. As apology for making European fans wait for the game Mr. Shibata also announced a Limited Edition 3DS XL Bundle exclusive to Europe.
The Bundle includes an exclusive blue Nintendo 3DS XL console with Fire Emblem art imprinted on the console itself, already pre-loaded with a digital copy of Fire Emblem: Awakening.
Europe will also get all of the Japanese DLCs and the first one called “Champions of Yore 1” can be downloaded free for a short period of time.
Considered that this console is not the same as the original consoles that were released on the other markets, we can still expect it to be limited. When the bundle went on sale in North America, it almost instantly sold out.
So, if you are a fan of the Fire Emblem series or even if you are just looking to make an investment you’ll better want to make sure to place your pre-order early.
The bundle currently costs £219.99 GBP at Amazon.co.uk

Today Nintendo has announced that Lego City Undercover, which is exclusive to the Wii U console, will be released in EU territories on 28 March 2013 and in the US on 26 March 2013.
As you explore, you can use the Wii U GamePad as a communicator to talk to others, to scan your surroundings for clues or criminals, or to view the handy map and GPS route when driving around the city.
LEGO City Undercover will also be available in a Limited-Edition software bundle that includes a Minifigure of Chase McCain, Lego City Undercover’s main playable character.
Some stores are already offering the Lego Figure as a pre-order bonus but this one will be wrapped up in a proper box.
Unfortunately, it’s not up for pre-order yet but I am sure most major retailers will have it in stock soon.
Update: It’s now available for pre-order in the UK at Amazon
Thanks to ingmar1988 for the heads up!
