Just some clarification on swimsuits in Fates. I have not been able to buy them yet, but if you try changing into a body accessory in the…

…accessory store, you'll see the characters in their underwear or swimsuit-type clothing. They just don't stay that way.

Update: Here’s the full stream archive for those that are interested in checking out more footage:

Original (2/10): For its overseas version, Fire Emblem Fates appears to have removed some swimsuits. GameSpot hosted a live stream of the English release earlier today which shows that only the Bath Towel can be purchased from the Accessory Shop in the body section. Meanwhile, the Japanese version featured several more such as the “Risque Swimsuit” (level 1 at the shop just like the Bath Towel).

This doesn’t seem to be a matter of GameSpot being early on in Fire Emblem Fates. Now, it’s true that we have seen footage of some characters in swimsuits via English gameplay, but that may have just been what was offered as the default option. We’ll still consider this a rumor for the time being until the situation is absolutely clarified.

Thanks to Brian for the tip.

Retailer says new Nintendo Selects are coming on March 11

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 55 Comments

A new wave of Nintendo Selects will hit North American retailers on March 11, according to Video Games Plus. The lineup includes several Wii U/3DS titles, and surprisingly, some old Wii releases as well. Pikmin 3, Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, and Super Mario All-Stars are just some of the included games.

For those that are unfamiliar, Nintendo Selects typically bring about lower prices for games. It looks like some older ones will be seeing reprints as well – notably Pikmin 3 and Super Mario All-Stars.

Video Games Plus lists each new Nintendo Select at $29.99 CDN. That should amount to $20 USD.
