The stream was hosted by Cipher producer Ryoto Kawade, and he was joined by Eri Suzuki (Soleil’s Japanese VA) and Young (with Intelligent Systems). After some opening banter, Kawade formally announced that Genealogy of the Holy War would soon be released on the new Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console in Japan.

In fact, not long after the stream aired, Genealogy was swiftly added to the Virtual Console, joining the ranks of Dark Dragon and Sword of Light, Gaiden and Mystery of the Emblem as other retro Fire Emblems available to play on Japanese 3DS systems (the latter, being a Super Famicom title, is likewise exclusive to the new 3DS).

Afterward, discussion then turned to the Cipher Caravan events that had just finished up the previous weekend. Many photos were shared, and the final winning colours for the Caravan Derby were announced. The events seemed to be a great success! Hopefully we will see more special Cipher events held in the future.
