Etrian Odyssey IV will land in North America on February 26. With its release on the horizon, now’s as good a time as any for newcomers to give the series a try.
There’s just one problem – it’s not so easy to find the first three Etrian Odyssey games at retail. Thankfully, Atlus will be remedying the situation by reprinting the DS titles.
Canadian retailer Video Games Plus recently sent out an email indicating that consumers will soon be able to pre-order Etrian Odyssey, Etrian Odyssey 2: Heroes of Lagaard and Etrian Odyssey 3: The Drowned City for $29.99 each. Alternatively, all three can be purchased in a pre-order bundle with a $15 discount.
The reprint will take place in early 2013. Here’s hoping that stock will be available throughout North America.

Mass Effect 3: Special Edition has pretty much been a disaster the whole way around. Wii U owners, first of all, are starting off with the third game in the franchise rather than the first.
That wouldn’t be so terrible if EA hadn’t announced – and already released – the Mass Effect Trilogy on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. The package contains all three entries in the series. We’ve since heard that DLC such as Omega won’t be coming to the Wii U at this time.
Despite all of the negative news, there could be a bit of hope regarding Mass Effect’s future on Nintendo’s home console. In an interview with GamerSyndone, the company teased that it does have “plans” for Wii U, “but nothing to announce at this moment.” It also hinted that the Mass Effect Trilogy could head to Wii U, reiterating: “Never Say Never”.
