It may be that in a fair bit of Europe (including Germany where I think noe is based) the 6th is a public holiday. Epiphany and all that. They may not be back to work until tomorrow.

The 6th isn't a public holiday in the part of Germany where NoE is located.

Sooo I guess we're not getting anything this week.

A particularly empty release schedule usually indicates they're gonna spring something on us via Nintendo Direct, so there's still hope.

Do you reckon we'll get a Direct this week?
So far we've consistently been getting one every month and we haven't had one in January yet.

True, but I was talking about the rest of the world. South Korea has been getting Directs sort of irregularly, whereas "we" get them every month.

A staggered release makes sense given that the whole reason it got delayed is because the servers couldn't handle the load the first time around.

Are you sure the sale is now, because Layton X Wright comes out March 28th, not February. It wouldn't make sense for them to discount it now if they are doing it "until the 27th, the release of the crossover game." Unless the sale goes from now until March 27th, I guess.

I guess they want people to buy the two games now so that they'll have time to play through them until the crossover game comes out in a month.
Makes sense to me.

People need to understand that just because the DS had a GBA cartridge slot doesn't mean the 3DS can easily emulate the GBA as a whole.

I fail to see how "No GBA releases this week" in any way equals "Nintendo has dropped support of the GBA Virtual Console". Is this just people being whiny and/or paranoid? Or has there been some manner of announcement saying that nothing else is coming?

Yep.

Several more GBA games have already been (re)rated, so we know they're coming.

Both of the GBA games are great - Sacred Stones is a bit easier though since it features potentially unlimited experience points.. Just don't buy Shadow Dragon, it sucks.

Correct.

I got my Special Edition preordered :dance: According to the shop I ordered it at, it's getting released on Thursday, though that's probably an error on their part. I'd love to get it a day early, but if I do get it on Friday that gives me one day to play the Hyrule Warriors DLC at least.

No. Each route is one full game. If you buy all routes, you basically get three games for the price of two.

The general Fire Emblem thread is mostly spoiler-free, so you can ask questions like that there. It's where us European FE fans have been suffering together for the last couple of months.
