Fire Emblem Fates launched in North America last month. In Europe, the game is set to arrive on May 20. A special edition and New 3DS XL is planned.


Nintendo is starting a new developer series based on Fire Emblem Fates. Check out the first episode below called “A Tale of Two Families: Birthright”.

It’s well documented at this point that Fire Emblem Fates’ western version does not have the main petting game included in the original Japanese release. At one point though, there may have been plans to leave it in.

Fans have come across some English dialogue that sounds like something which could have been used for the petting mini-game. You can have a listen here. The theory going around is that the mini-game was scrapped farther along during localization, while some are also hoping that the feature will make it into the European release. It might be an interesting discovery, but it’s one that doesn’t change the outcome of Fates’ North American localization.

Although Fire Emblem Fates came out last week, Nintendo is still continuing its “Life on the Front Line” series of videos for the game. Check out “Where Armies Gather” below.

Fire Emblem Fates sold over 300,000 copies between all versions during its launch weekend, Nintendo has announced. It’s now the fastest-selling game in the history of the franchise in the United States.

Fire Emblem Fates managed to sell more than five times as many units as Fire Emblem Awakening. That game was the previous record holder in the United States during its first three days of availability.

Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright was the top seller between both versions, though Conquest was “close behind.”

Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive VP of sales and marketing, said of today’s news:

“Both fans and critics are falling for Fire Emblem Fates, and the early sales numbers prove the game’s undeniable appeal. This strong momentum for Nintendo 3DS is only the beginning, as many more high-quality exclusive games are set to launch for the hand-held system over the next few months.”
