It looks as though Nintendo’s forthcoming tactical RPG Fire Emblem: Awakening is completely sold out at GameStop. The game is sold out on the GameStop website, and I’ve had a couple of people who work in various GameStop stores say they’re all out of pre-orders. Whether there’s a huge amount of demand for the game, or very limited stock, remains to be seen. Fire Emblem: Awakening is due to be released in North America on February 4th. If you had pre-ordered the game from GameStop then you would be entitled to a free character art book.
Thanks to those that sent this in.
Have to wait till April in Australia :( Glad to see it’s doing great in the US though!
What the Fuck is with the Essay O.o There needs to be a character limit on this site. ._.
You are so stupid i and anoying that it makes me miss bill.
Wow…well, I don’t mind waiting a few weeks to get my hands on a copy, I’m bogged down with other fantastic Nintendo games at the moment XD
DAMNIT. So no walking in and getting it for me. )x Hello, Walmart. Take my $40.
>.< Wal*Mart
Kmart!! :D
it can be pre-ordered on bestbuy.com still http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Fire+Emblem%3A+Awakening+-+Nintendo+3DS/7366094.p;jsessionid=AECAB85A08B75323F3D0B918EB2D6B4C.bbolsp-app03-08?id=1218840758864&skuId=7366094&st=Fire%20Emblemb&lp=1&cp=1
I can’t fucking wait for this game!! The critical reception has been through the roof , IGN= 9.6 If Nintendo put more effort into lesser know franchises like fire emblem they can make them just as big as Mario (well not that big….)
Some of the most fun I’ve had in gaming recently has been with games Such as Pokemon Conquest , Xcom enemy unknown and even Ghost recon shadow wars for 3DS is awesome. Can’t wait for this game the emperor of tactical strategy games :) …. Oh fuck it comes out in April in UK ;(
But its not Nintendo as as a whole that puts effort into a game, its the producers, and to be honest, Intelligent Systems does extremely well with puzzle type games, man I love them to death. Hell ya, cant wait when Intelligent Systems start planning the next Advance Wars. Thats only if they have not cancel the series itself. Im saddened now :(, Advance Wars Reborn, please!!!.
If they were to make a New advance wars , I would appreciate a similar production value to what fire emblem awakening seems to be. Make sure the game gets good reviews and it will sell 2-3 times as much. Simple,
Even though IGN gave it a 9.6, which i believe is a legit score, even though anything between 0 and 0.5 or 0.5 and 1 is just bullet dodging, Audreys review was pretty meh. I didnt really learn anything about the game, or its systems.
You’re right , I love Audrey’s reviews usualy , but my Nintendo Bias always covers up her bullshit. That being said the other reviews the game is receiving are equally high , so maybe their is some credibility in her reviews. And as much things as IGN has done wrong , they’re always my main review source . Sometimes I 100% disagree with their reviews , most of the time they’re pretty spot on.
Their scores are generally fine, its just as a review, they dont explain much.
All the more reason i want to do reviews myself, and actually explain why a game is good or bad.
Writing reviews would be sweet. I actually used to do that in English language at High school and college, I would write game reviews when I got the chance and it was awesome.
I pre-ordered that bitch so I’m good. that fucking art book is mine too.
Fuck yea, What he said. ^^ :P
Me too, but gamestop has a history of screwing preorder bonus :(
after seeing reviews of it and playing the demo I def wanna get this game!!! should have preordered it lol!
Ya, I tried to get in a preorder for the game yesterday, for a customer who just bought a 3DS, but it was no longer available for preorder. I was pretty upset.
Sickr, Please Block AdviceBot. ._.

:)
Yay! Nice to see cleaner comments again.
thank you
Good thing I decided to just download it off the EShop on Monday. There’s still other places to get it anyway, if you want a physical copy. And Amazon, Ebay, etc.
Kinda shocked allmost invisible nintendo franchises are getting noticed for once! great thing to hear!
Or just in short stock due to it being a lesser known franchise.
If it lesser know why make a tv ad and give in limmited numbers?
TV ad so they can sell and limited because they don’t expect much sales at first? It could be just high sales though.
this game looks to be selling good, if nintendo brings all there good games over like this, people couldnt talk shit because they would have way more good games and exclusives
*selling well. -Just to fix any future grammar issues. Have a nice day! :D
im not going to make everything perfect, so, i dont fix anything usually if i notice, because its not that big of a deal
Hopefully it’s not under shipped
It seems they’re selling it earlier in Canada for some reason.
They called today to say I can pick up my preorder now. Going tomorrow, 3 days before official release.
got mine on tuesday, had it preordered for months. love both intelligent systems and fire emblem.
OMG! Fire Emblem is my favorite sidescroller! I must obtain a copy!
I doubt you know what a sidescroller is…
Shut up, FOOL!
Yup It’s a sidescroller, and a very unmanly one at that or at least that what I saw in the wise words of a legendary idiot with his head stuck up his ass
Same for you, “That Dude.”
oh wait, I commented before reading the rest of you comment. You really AREN’T an idiot like King Martin after all.
:P
It isn’t a sidescroller. Just FYI before you look dumb again later.
It pleases me to see how successful this game is!
Hopefully I’ll get it tuesday…I pre-ordered it a month ago so I assume they’ll ship it monday, and it will reach me on the following day, if I’m lucky.
The game has for now a score of 91 in metacritic! Wow I can’t wait, why do games have to take to long to come to Latin America!? ;-;
I don’t trust GameStop.
Me eather but what else i can do? Kmart sucks in Puerto Rico.
Yeah Kmart sucks. I probably try and get it from a military base to avoid taxes.
They got there games overpriced 3ds games cost there 50 and ps360 cost 70 plus the tax raise them to almost 80.
Meanwhile in Europe and Australia….
;~;
What is your comment suppose to be?
A vampire?
A face crying :P
Oh I see now! It has two tears and a squiggly mouth. ;)
Haha yep :P
Yeah, it sucks here. I’m in Australia and I want some Fire Emblem now. The last one didn’t have a western release and the one before frankly sucked. I haven’t played some good Fire Emblem since 2008 with Radiant Dawn.
Maybe they have purposely manufactured a short supply in order to sell more digital copies for a higher profit.
You dont make tv ads for límites games.
If they had smaller physical supplies the digital price would go down. Digital costs as much as it is because its not as popular as it needs to be, to be cheaper.
Digital costs the same because any digital game they sell instead of a physical one they send out, is waste on packaging, and cartridges. You wana know the sad thing though?
Even if the we went fully digital, it wouldnt be that much cheaper, packaging costs money, but its not enough to be very significant.
OH DEAR! I wanted to go pick it up at Game stop the day it came out. Maybe I’ll have to go to Target instead.
I wonder if I get the book since I got the bundle instead of the game. Anyone know (and someone tell me getting the smaller 3DS is a good idea, because I really want this game)?
For me i think you did good not know if anyone who preordered will get the book.
I prefer the XL because I can see tings better.
When is the 3DS XL bundle coming out? Is it the same time as the launch? Is it easy to transfer old smaller 3DS data over to the newer XL?
The 3DS bundle with Fire Emblem is a NORMAL 3DS not an XL. It should be on sale the same day as Fire Emblem: Awakening. I have never transfered my 3DS data so I have no clue how easy it is. Sorry :(
..well now I am filled with disappointment… :/
If we got that bundle in Europe I wouldn’t care if it’s an XL or not. That’s one of the best looking limited edition handhelds I’ve seen in a while….
OH YEAH! Looking forward to this game. No worries about Game Stop, I’ll probs just get it at Target or something with my Target card for 5% off!
I’m curious: What was Advice Bot saying?
wrote in the wrong place, don’t mind this comment.
AdviceBot cannot be banned.
Does my icon look scary?
yes
Yes indeed o.O
Where is Aeolus? Is she MIA or something?
Probs banned.
Yeah, doubt it.
I think nintendo is giving him less reasons to bitch about.
I’m happy Bill has banned thanks to Sickr, but Amy needs to be next. She/He makes poorly spelled statements how Nintendo is childish. Even Neutron agrees He/She is a weirdo.
Bill got banned? If his IP got banned then Amy should be as well because I’m 90% sure they were the same person.
Lmao, its starting to feel like minecraft with the bans, oh well. Back to reading more posts. :P
This is awesome news! Fire Emblem was never really popular in the United States (Radiant Dawn sold about 300,000 copies at the most I believe). I’m hoping that this game will reach hopefully two million games sold and be just as popular as New Super Mario Bros., Animal Crossing, and Nintendo Land. I know it’s a longshot but I can still wish.

This isn’t a proper forum. You simply can’t silence an entity in a comment section.
It just doesn’t work that way.
per-ordered on January 4th so better get a copy of the game when it comes out next week.
