Earlier this month, we heard that Fire Emblem Fates’ petting mini-game had been removed from the western version. Review copies are going out, and it’s now clear how Nintendo handled the change in the west.
The Live2D interactions remain in tact, and you can still increase your support rank. The main difference here is that only the portion where you touch the person’s face with the stylus has been removed.
You can see this in action via the video below.
Thanks to Brian for the tip.

James Montagna, who previously brought Dot Arcade to the Wii U eShop, has another game coming to the system soon. Dodge Club Party could be out in North America as early as March for $1.99.
Here’s a brief overview of the game:
“Dodge Club Party on Wii U is a frantic multiplayer free-for-all in an impressively micro 16×16 pixel arena! Gather your friends and dodge the fireball together! Will you mischievously sabotage other players to be the last one standing? Or perhaps you can all work as a team for the highest score of the night! Once the fireball is loose, anything goes!”
Dodge Club Party will also feature a 5-player multiplayer mode that takes advantage of the Wii U GamePad.
