Update (8/22): Now confirmed to be the red Ember.
Natsume is including different Ember plushies with Hometown Story pre-orders. GameStop will be giving out a green Ember. Natsume’s store is offering a yellow one. And it looks like Amazon will have its own Ember up for grabs, too.

Natsume isn’t done supporting the Virtual Console. In a new Facebook update, the company confirmed it is “looking into other titles from our GBC and SNES catalogues.” Natsume hopes to have more news later this year.
