Arc System Works is pumping out these Arc Style games like crazy!
Fire Emblem will be hitting the Japanese eShop as a Famicom download on August 1 for 500 yen. Screenshots of the game can be found above.
A new firmware update is available for the 3DS. As is the case with past upgrades, it does not provide any new functionality.
Nintendo’s website says that the update makes “improvements to overall system stability” which “enhance the user experience.”
Although it isn’t significant, the download must be applied if users wish to access the eShop.
