Posted on 9 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
The official Japanese Fire Emblem if website was recently updated after the Nintendo Direct last Sunday. You can find an English translation of the “System” page over on Kantopia . It’s mostly general information about the game that doesn’t offer many new infos to Fire Emblem veterans and those who have been keeping up to date with Fire Emblem if news, however there are two interesting new tidbits: Phoenix Mode, which revives fallen character each turn, can only be selected on Normal difficulty.
There’s also new info about Attack Stance and Guard Stance, this game’s evolution of Fire Emblem Awakening’s Pair Up system. In Fire Emblem if, Attack Stance will also be available to enemy units, however if your units are using Guard Stance, the enemy’s Attack Stance is negated.

Could Art Academy: Home Studio be receiving amiibo support? While it can’t be confirmed for sure just yet, that’s what an eShop listing is suggesting. Over on the North American Art Academy: Home Studio eShop page, amiibo is listed as one of its features. The title launches in just a few weeks, so Nintendo will probably need to make this known soon if it’s happening.

Amazon now seems to be selling New 3DS XL systems directly
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in New Nintendo 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Amazon U.S. and Nintendo haven’t had the best relationship. Because things have been sour between the two sides, Amazon tends not to sell hardware directly. It’s been possible to order Nintendo systems on the site, but only through third-party sellers in most instances.
So here’s an interesting development. It seems that, at least for now, Amazon is offering New 3DS XL units directly
. You can buy a black or red portable and have it sold and shipped by Amazon themselves. I’m not sure if this is a permanent thing, but it’s an interesting development nonetheless!
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
