Some retailers have Fire Emblem: Awakening in stock today, which is technically the game’s release date. Others, however, may not have stock available until later in the week.

A few retailers have indicated that Awakening is seeing shipping issues/delays/errors. Nintendo’s response to the situation is that sellers “receive their shipments on different days” due to “the variables of shipping”:

“Nintendo makes every effort to make sure its games and systems are available at retail stores nationwide on launch day. Sometimes, because of the variables of shipping, different retailers receive their shipments on different days. Fire Emblem Awakening can be purchased right now from the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS.”

Almost all of THQ’s major studios and IPs were purchased during an auction last month. But Vigil Games and Darksiders? They were left behind.

Crytek chief executive officer Cevat Yerli in Germany said that his company was “surprised” by the lack of bids for Vigil.

“We were surprised when nobody bid on Vigil. We would have liked to have bid, but there were too many unknowns.”

Thankfully, Crytek, in a way, stepped in by forming a new USA studio. While it’s technically not Vigil Games, many former staffers have joined the new division including former general manager and co-owner David Adams.

Yerli spoke highly of Adams in an interview with GamesBeat:

“But when nobody bid [on Vigil], I thought that maybe we could reconsider bidding. But eventually we decided not to because the projects [the developer was working on] weren’t strategically fit for us, but I really liked David [when I talked to him] on the phone. He made a very good impression on me as someone who really cared, someone who is really passionate about what he does, and someone who is passionate about the team he works with.”

A report surfaced from China Daily last month suggesting that China could finally be ending its 12-year ban on game consoles. But when one investor brought up this topic during Nintendo’s financial results briefing, president Satoru Iwata indicated that the company doesn’t believe the “situation has actually changed drastically.”

Having said that, Iwata would be open to the opportunities present in China. If Nintendo were to receive official information about a change to the situation, Nintendo “will make an announcement from inside China.”

“Regarding China, we certainly saw some articles the other day. On the other hand, we do not think that the situation has actually changed drastically. Of course, if a drastic change is made, there will be some opportunities for us. We have been preparing for that, but we have not obtained any confirmation of the recent media reports. In the future, if we receive any official confirmation in this regard, the company will make an announcement from inside China. At this point in time, please just understand that there will be some options we may be able to take if the situation has actually changed.”
