The game formerly known as Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem now has an official release date for Japan. Nintendo has just announced that the Wii U exclusive title will be making its way to store shelves on December 26th this year.

The game will come in three different formats: Standard, the “Fortissimo Edition”, and a Wii U bundle. Standard edition gives you just the game for normal retail price, while the Fortissimo Edition will give tons of extra goodies typically found in ATLUS releases — this includes an art book, a soundtrack, codes for costume DLC, as well as a special boxart. The Wii U bundle has everything included in the Fortissimo Edition, plus, of course, the console, added stickers, and DLC for three extra quests. Additionally, those who purchase the Fortissimo Edition or Wii U bundle will be able to obtain tickets for a concert taking place in Japan on May 15.

No official date yet on when Genei Ibun Roku #FE will be coming west, but it is slated for 2016 in Europe and North America.

Below you can find photos on all the contents contained in the aforementioned Genei Ibun Roku #FE editions.

There’s an extra tidbit of information – a very important one at that – regarding Super Mario Maker’s first update. After applying version 1.01, it appears that the 9-day unlocking system has been removed.

Here’s how the new format works. Rather than having to wait a full day for content to unlock, you now need to wait just 15 minutes after spending that time with level editing. 30 minutes in, you’ll have day 2’s content. The same goes for day 3’s content after 45 minutes – so on and so forth.
