Next week, Japanese 3DS users can purchase new downloadable content for Fire Emblem: Awakening featuring Lyn. The character first appeared in Fire Emblem for the GBA.

By purchasing the DLC, you’ll be given access to the Iote Shield. It disables bonus damage for flying units.

The new DLC launches in Japan on July 5 for 400 yen.

I believe this video demonstrates how DS games look like on the 3DS XL. Not bad, I say.

Update: We’re back to square one, in a way. The original tweet was an error. Rather than mentioning September specifically, Nintendo is only confirming that a conference will be held this fall.

An investor attending Nintendo’s annual shareholder’s meeting reports that Nintendo will hold a conference in September to reveal Wii U launch information. The console’s price and launch date are expected to be shared during the event.

Additionally, Nintendo is rumored to be discussing titles coming out in 2013. That likely means more details would be provided for games such as Project P-100 and Pikmin 3. It’s unclear if brand new title announcements would be made.

A translation of the investor’s message reads:

“Nintendo plans to reveal the launch day and price at September, and not just the launch titles, also the titles for 2013 will be revealed at that time”

Nintendo has said on many occasions that the Wii U’s launch information would be announced at a separate event in the future. A September conference would definitely make sense. Although we don’t have a complete confirmation of this rumor, it has a very high chance of being legitimate.

SEGA is continuing to make drastic moves within the company following significant financial losses.

It’s been revealed that nearly all of SEGA’s European and Australian offices will be shut down in the very near future.

Although SEGA UK will still act as the main European HQ, Koch Media will handle distribution of most European retail titles going forward. Level03 Distribution is being brought on to take care of products in Benelux. 5 Star will distribute future titles in Australia.

COO of Sega Europe Jurgen Post said in a statement:

“SEGA is entering a new and exciting phase that will position the company as a content led organisation maximising sales with strong and balanced IP such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Total War, Football Manager and the Aliens franchise. The company will benefit from a clear focus and realigned strategy for our digital business and packaged goods and we are confident that this will lead to a successful future.”

Last night in Japan, Nintendo held its annual shareholder’s meeting. While there wasn’t a ton of significant information about the Wii U and 3DS, president Satoru Iwata did share a few small tidbits.

We’ve posted details from the event below. Head past the break for information on third-parties, the possibility of additional 3DS models (not happening!), female staff at Nintendo, Iwata’s thoughts on a paid online service, and news about the creator of Seaman getting a fine (really!).
