It’s also worth mentioning that in terms of hardware, Nintendo had 19 percent share on Black Friday, compared to 20 percent on an average day among millennials. Nintendo’s share was at 30 percent among the middle-aged group in contrast to 34 percent on an average day.

We won’t get proper scans of this week’s issue of Famitsu until two days from now, however a preview image of this week’s issue published on Famitsu’s website revealed something interesting about Genei Ibunroku #FE, namely another party member and his Mirage.

His name is Ken Yashiro and he is a famous singer. We’ve actually seen brief glimpses of him before in some of the game’s trailers. His Mirage is the Swordsman Nabarl, who originally appeared in Marth’s games (both the NES versions and the DS remakes).

We will have more detailed info once we have the full Famitsu scans on Wednesday.
