Etrian Odyssey IV will land in North America on February 26. With its release on the horizon, now’s as good a time as any for newcomers to give the series a try.

There’s just one problem – it’s not so easy to find the first three Etrian Odyssey games at retail. Thankfully, Atlus will be remedying the situation by reprinting the DS titles.

Canadian retailer Video Games Plus recently sent out an email indicating that consumers will soon be able to pre-order Etrian Odyssey, Etrian Odyssey 2: Heroes of Lagaard and Etrian Odyssey 3: The Drowned City for $29.99 each. Alternatively, all three can be purchased in a pre-order bundle with a $15 discount.

The reprint will take place in early 2013. Here’s hoping that stock will be available throughout North America.
