Good stuff! By all accounts this is a solid entry in the franchise, with an interesting new visual style and gameplay additions.

I never really doubted this, but it is good to get confirmation.

Oh yeah. This is news that is totally fit for Twitter, not as some announcement at a 3DS-specific E3 conference.

...wait

Haha! Nintendo is awesome. They don't care about doing anything by the books. LOVE IT.

My favorite is still "yep, thats the show, here is more Nintendo land." *running and texting to Spike* "We've got a brand new game, bitches, here it comes, first look," haha, with NO mention during the conference. I don't get it.

Is TGS usually a bigger show for them? I think we forget that Nintendo is Japan-first sometimes.

Great news! I can't wait to buy it and put it in the Fire Emblem queue!

It's pretty bizarre that they didn't announce it at the 3DS conference, but it seems like it was kind of a leak, anyway.

@Mr_Mustache
They don't go to TGS. But sometimes they do their own thing around the same time.

@Mr_MustacheTGS isnt a bigger show, but there was a rumor saying that Japanese wii u games (which e3 completely lacked) will be shown at another date. Probably tgs.
