XSEED is handling Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale in North America. In PAL regions, it looks like that responsibility will fall with Marvelous.

A rating has popped up in the Australia ratings database for Return to PopoloCrois, and Marvelous is listed as the game’s publisher. We haven’t seen an official announcement yet, but this should mean that the title will be heading to Europe and Australia next year in addition to North America.

Update: A leak from this week’s issue of Famitsu is in. Aversa, Gangrel, Garrick, and Excellus are all confirmed as enemies. Each one comes from Fire Emblem Awakening.

We won’t get proper Famitsu scans until tomorrow, however the weekly preview has already revealed something interesting about Genei Ibun Roku #FE: Lon’qu (from Fire Emblem Awakening) and Abel (from Marth’s games) will appear in the game as Mirages. However, no corresponding characters were revealed alongside them, so it seems that they will actually be enemies.

Interestingly, the only other characters from Fire Emblem revealed so far that only appear as enemies and not as allies to Itsuki and his friends are Aversa and Gangrel, who were also villains in their original game, whereas Lon’qu and Abel were part of the player’s army. Cain appears in Genei Ibun Roku #FE as Toma’s Mirage, but apparently his counterpart Abel won’t join him.

Hopefully the full scans will provide an answer to this mystery.

Famitsu has published a brief article about Hyrule Warriors Legends for its magazine coverage this week. In it, we learn about two new elements in the game.

First up, Hyrule Warriors Legends will have a “My Fairy” system. Famitsu doesn’t go in-depth about this, but indicates that it’ll be used to help players. Also confirmed is a new Great Sea map in Adventure Mode.

Expect more details about both of these items when Famitsu releases tomorrow.
