Here’s what you can expect from it:

The Art of Fire Emblem Awakening contains an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the smash-hit 3DS game, from beautifully illustrated renditions of your favorite characters, to storyboards for in-game events, character designs, weapon designs, character profiles, and the entirety of the script with every possible branch of dialogue! Relive some of the most poignant moments of the game, or see what might have been if you had made different in-game decisions with the Art of Fire Emblem Awakening!

The Art of Fire Emblem: Awakening is due out in comic shops on August 17 and in bookstores on August 30 (apparently a bit earlier at places like Amazon). Pre-orders are already live on Amazon here.

Like pretty much every Wii U game, Genei Ibun Roku #FE is available in Japan as a disc title and as a digital release on the eShop. But if you’re looking for the absolute quickest way to play in terms of loading times, you may want to go with the latter options. While the two are pretty comparable, the download version shaves a few seconds off here and there for things like the initial startup and going into battles.

Famitsu has another update on Shin Megami Tensei IV Final in its latest issue. Three new partner characters are introduced – Hallelujah, Toki, and Gaston – and there’s also information about collecting demons.

Hallelujah is voiced by Masuda Toshiki. He’s 15 years old, and is part of the Ashura Assembly along with his elder brother. By his brother’s orders, he keeps an eye on the player’s party, but he’s rather timid and doesn’t like standing out. His demon of choice is Cironnup, which is Ainu for Fox, a divine beast which is said to bring calamity to humans.
