Did you pre-order the Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition at GameStop after November 18? If so, chances are that your order has been cancelled. An official notice distributed internally indicates that reservations were still possible after this date, but only due to a glitch. Consumers should be receiving a phone call about the cancellation of their order.

For the most part, pre-orders for the Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition have been sold out for awhile now at all retailers. GameStop’s website has been out of stock, though it was still possible for gamers to reserve a copy in store.

Plenty of videos have appeared this weekend comparing Hyrule Warriors Legends to the game on Wii U. Yet another comparison has surfaced, now showing how the title runs on the original 3DS compared to the New 3DS. Unfortunately, the performance takes a bit of a hit on older systems. Check out the full video below.

One of the new elements in Hyrule Warriors Legends is the “My Fairy” system. Fairies are like partners during the game. If you befriend one, it’ll assist you in battle through its special attributes.

In next week’s issue of Famitsu, a download code will be included for players to obtain an exclusive costume. This apparently cannot be acquired through other means. As for the costume itself, it’s based on Ghirahim. It comes with a special skill that increases fairy magic effects, so it might be useful in high difficulty stages.

Let’s Talk #36: Do you want to see more of Linkle?

After Hyrule Warriors came out, we learned that the developers toyed around with an idea for a character named “Linkle”. To put it simply, she was intended to be Link’s female equivalent. Concept art of Linkle eventually made the rounds, and for the most part, she was well-received. That’s what motivated Koei Tecmo to revisit the character and include her in Hyrule Warriors Legends.

Hyrule Warriors Legends will debut in Japan next week. Players will finally be able to use the character and see how she plays. But what role does she have beyond this game? Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma has already mentioned wanting to keep her in mind for future entries in the franchise.

Do you guys want to see more of her though? Would you be open to having Linkle (or something else in the spirit of her character) in a mainline Zelda? Or would you prefer for Linkle to remain only in Hyrule Warriors Legends? Regardless of how you feel, definitely let us know below!
