Update: A leak from this week’s issue of Famitsu is in. Aversa, Gangrel, Garrick, and Excellus are all confirmed as enemies. Each one comes from Fire Emblem Awakening.
We won’t get proper Famitsu scans until tomorrow, however the weekly preview has already revealed something interesting about Genei Ibun Roku #FE: Lon’qu (from Fire Emblem Awakening) and Abel (from Marth’s games) will appear in the game as Mirages. However, no corresponding characters were revealed alongside them, so it seems that they will actually be enemies.
Interestingly, the only other characters from Fire Emblem revealed so far that only appear as enemies and not as allies to Itsuki and his friends are Aversa and Gangrel, who were also villains in their original game, whereas Lon’qu and Abel were part of the player’s army. Cain appears in Genei Ibun Roku #FE as Toma’s Mirage, but apparently his counterpart Abel won’t join him.
Hopefully the full scans will provide an answer to this mystery.
Famitsu has published a brief article about Hyrule Warriors Legends for its magazine coverage this week. In it, we learn about two new elements in the game.
First up, Hyrule Warriors Legends will have a “My Fairy” system. Famitsu doesn’t go in-depth about this, but indicates that it’ll be used to help players. Also confirmed is a new Great Sea map in Adventure Mode.
Expect more details about both of these items when Famitsu releases tomorrow.
Last week, Kirby: Canvas Curse came out on the European Wii U Virtual Console. Watch some footage of the title below.
Atlus have published another trailer for their upcoming 3DS game Shin Megami Tensei IV: Final, this time focusing on the character Nozomi. Check it out below:
Several special stages and events in Pokemon Shuffle ended last night, and several new (and returning) ones have taken their place.
First of all, Landorus is now available as a special stage. Like Thundurus and Tornadus before it, your chance to catch it will get bigger each time, however you can only face of against it once per day. Note that this is a time-based stage.
Next, both Dialga and Palkia return to the game. If you didn’t catch them the first time around, now’s your chance. They will be available until December 15th.
Finally, the Pokemon Safari stages where you can randomly meet Gible, Gabite, Garchomp, Staryu, Starmie, Furfrou and Phione make a return. They will be available until December 22nd.
Well, this is quite interesting. Nintendo UK have uploaded a subtitled version of a Japanese TV ad for Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros. to their Youtube channel. Check it out below:

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam may have come out in Europe last week, but it won’t be arriving in North America until January. That means Nintendo is still promoting the game with various assets. Take a look at the latest trailer below titled “Just the Fax”.
