Update 3 (2/14): The Zelda: Breath of the Wild Collector’s Edition guide is now discounted by $20 on Amazon Canada. The standard one is $13 off.

Update 2 (2/12): On Amazon US, the Zelda: Breath of the Wild guide has been discounted by $16 (standard one is $10 off). Amazon Canada discounted the guide by $9 (standard one is about $4 off). If you already pre-ordered, you should automatically get the lower price.

Update: These guides are also up on Amazon Canada.

Original: Amazon is now taking pre-order for the Zelda: Breath of the Wild guides. They can be found here. Amazon has the Collector’s Edition and standard versions.

When the guides were announced awhile back, there were supposed to be three versions. We haven’t heard anything about a third version in recent weeks though, so there may only be just two in the end (collector’s and standard). If a third version does pop up, we’ll let you know.

Fire Emblem Heroes is making a change in early March. In a notice sent out to players, Nintendo says that “Units will be able to earn EXP when defeating foes that are much lower levels.”

The same notice also contains information about a couple of extensions and rewards. Nintendo states the following:

– The App-Release Bonus period will be extended to 3/14/17 at 2:59 AM.
– The Worldwide Launch Celebration will be extended indefinitely, so the stamina cost for the Training Tower will stay halved and for equipping skills will remain at 0.
– Rewards will be added to the Training Tower between Monday at 2:00 AM and Tuesday at 1:59 AM, starting 2/20/17 at 2:00 AM.
