A fan-driven Pokemon event was recently held in Chile, and it featured a somewhat out-of-the-blue Nintendo announcement.

The special Pikachu 3DS XL, previously released in Japan and Europe, was also confirmed for the Chile. This news may have implications for North America since Chile uses the same 3DS system as the US.

Does this mean Nintendo of America will be announcing the Pikachu 3DS XL for the states soon? We can only hope!

Nintendo has posted another round of character art and details from Fire Emblem: Awakening. The latest information covers Kellam, Sumia, Lon’qu, and Donnel. A rundown of each character is below, along with art.

Kellam

Kellam is our Fire Emblem Awakening character spotlight for today. He is a Shepherd whose infamous lack of presence makes him seem invisible to others.
