Update: A leak from this week’s issue of Famitsu is in. Aversa, Gangrel, Garrick, and Excellus are all confirmed as enemies. Each one comes from Fire Emblem Awakening.

We won’t get proper Famitsu scans until tomorrow, however the weekly preview has already revealed something interesting about Genei Ibun Roku #FE: Lon’qu (from Fire Emblem Awakening) and Abel (from Marth’s games) will appear in the game as Mirages. However, no corresponding characters were revealed alongside them, so it seems that they will actually be enemies.

Interestingly, the only other characters from Fire Emblem revealed so far that only appear as enemies and not as allies to Itsuki and his friends are Aversa and Gangrel, who were also villains in their original game, whereas Lon’qu and Abel were part of the player’s army. Cain appears in Genei Ibun Roku #FE as Toma’s Mirage, but apparently his counterpart Abel won’t join him.

Hopefully the full scans will provide an answer to this mystery.

Details continue to trickle out about Minecraft: Wii U Edition. This time information, we have some extra information about how multiplayer will be handled.

Here’s some information straight from a Microsoft Studios blog post:

“Minecraft: Wii U Edition will have full play on the GamePad controller’s screen and split-screen play. As with the rest of the versions in Minecraft: Console Edition, it will support four players locally and up to eight players online.”

It’s definitely good to see that Minecraft’s Wii U version will be keeping in line with other platforms. No compromises!

In North America (and presumably Europe), Mojang is publishing Minecraft: Wii U Edition. But that’s not the case in Japan. Microsoft, the new owner of the IP, is publishing the game directly over there. Kind of makes for an interesting situation!
