Nintendo shares new statement about Fire Emblem Fates’ petting mini-game

Nintendo has issued a new statement regarding the petting mini-game in Fire Emblem Fates. Here it is in full:

“In certain circumstances, S-Level characters are able to wake up their spouses by blowing into the microphone or by tapping the screen to touch their hair, face or shoulder. These randomly triggered events are unrelated to the mini-game in the Japanese version.”

This statement essentially confirms what we heard from GameSpot last week. Fire Emblem Fates’ petting mini-game is indeed cut in the western version. However, it’s possible to wake up spouses by tapping the screen or blowing into the 3DS’ microphone – that’s it. There’s nothing extra beyond this in the overseas release.
