Japanese Fire Emblem Fates New 3DS LL with Cipher Promos

In Japan, pre-orders for a Fire Emblem Fates New 3DS LL opened today. The model is the same one that is currently available in North American markets and will be released in Europe next month.

Although Japan received Fates-styled New 3DS cover plates last year, this will be the first time they will get an actual Fates-style console. It will release in late July.

The 3DS LL will retail for ¥20,304 (plus ¥514 for shipping costs) and includes:

1 x New Nintendo 3DS XL Fire Emblem if Edition
2 x Fire Emblem Cipher promotional card
1 x Stylus
1 x 4 GB microSDHC memory card
6 x AR cards
1 x Quick Start Guide
1 x Instruction Manual and Warranty Sheet

The console does not include a 3DS charger or any version of the game. The Cipher promotional cards were also revealed today and feature a dual-card art of Male and Female Kamui by Sachiko Wada.

Japanese fans interested in pre-ordering the console can do so on the official Nintendo.co.jp page. It’s a limited offer, and pre-orders will only be open until April 27th.

If you don’t have a way to order in Japan but are interesting in securing one for yourself, international pre-orders are available on Play-Asia. Note that delivery is expected from late July.

North America Announces a Fire Emblem Fates New 3DS XL & More

As if today’s DLC news wasn’t enough Nintendo will be releasing the Fire Emblem Fates Edition New 3DS XL. Priced at $200 and available at what can be assumed as being most major gaming retailers, this will stay firm on its price tag and not include any versions of either of the three Fates games.

This will be available on February 19, alongside the release of the main games.

And that’s not all! NintendoOfAmerica (on Twitter) Fire Emblem Fates Revelations is set to hit shelves in the US on March 10! By shelves, I of course mean DLC shelves.

Couple this with the Map Pack DLC, and you’ve got quite a bit to empty your wallet with! As VincentASM said before me, players can choose to buy each of these maps individually, or purchase Map Pack 1 for $17.99 to get access to them all at a discount once they are released.

Still no word on any EU release, but North America is getting the special treatment with a fresh and sleek New 3DS XL, hopefully the EU version will get this as well, and soon!
