New Video game releases!

[Deku]

Release date is in April! At least we have a release date, that's really all I wanted

Fire emblem Kakusei apparently also features double battles, where you can gang up on an enemy.
It'll certainly make it easier to train those frail units to become your BA's at the end of the game.

New Fire Emblem. Yush...

The sequel for The World Ends with You also sounds cool.

Apparently, there's more. I was at work the other day, and our bus-boy is a serious Fire Emblem fan. He's been keeping up with it more than I have, and there are a couple of rumors he passed on to me. His rumors usually turn out to be true- he gets his info from places like IGN and Kotaku.

Fire Emblem Rumors:

+ The game takes place a couple of years after Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon.

+ The game will feature unlockable characters from other Fire Emblem games (even characters that don't fit in that part of the timeline). We're assuming that you can unlock them by beating the game on a certain difficulty level. Some of the unlocks include Clea, Lyn, Marth, Ira, and Roy.

+ He also said that the game is probably going to have DLC, including new maps and episodes.

I am excite.

Also, in case some of you don't visit the Games section of the forum, check this out!

As we already knew, Miyamoto is interested in revisiting A Link to the Past. Well in this fairly recent article, they're speculating that Miyamoto might have something to say about it at the upcoming E3! Darn you IGN, for building hope up inside of my gut

All I can say is that Skyward Sword delivered a very engaging and heartfelt story and has had me clamoring for more. If they satisfy my hunger for that in whatever they have in mind, I'll be happy.

Just keep doing what you're doing, Zelda team.

Really?  Lyn is a rumored unlockable character?  Awesome.  I heard that Innes, from The Sacred Stones, was going to be in there as well.  I think my source was either My Nintendo News or 3DS Buzz, over on Google+.

As for the DLC, I'm fairly certain that's not a rumor.  Fire Emblem: Awakening will be the first 3DS game to utilize paid DLC.

Also, 3DS owners, in case you haven't heard already, a system update will be available tomorrow (April 25).  Among other things, you will now be able to organize your Home menu with folders.

^ And for 3DS Ambassadors, that's gonna be a huge plus.

Innes!? I loved Innes! He was probably the second best sniper out of every FE game I've played.
Also, the folders will certainly be a welcome change. My desktop is full of folders
I'm a folder maniac as my friends say.

Wow. I am stunned.

Sony's only now making a rip off of Smash Bros.? Dang. Have to admire their restraint; I'd have thought they'd have copied it years ago...

[Deku]

The gameplay didn't even look fluid. It doesn't look as finely tuned as a Smash Bros title, and because of that I think it's destined to fail.

[Twilight Wolf]

I think it looks pretty cool, myself. I might check it out.

According to our Bus Boy, Microsoft is also thinking about doing a Smash Bros of their own...

And we were both like...

How?

I retract my earlier statement of "all of my wut" and would like to apply it to this.

The character roster would just be master chief in different color armor 

[Hi no Seijin]

Actually, if you don't count PCs, the Fable series is an Xbox exclusive, and with Rare being owned by Microsoft, they could throw in Banjo.  Of course, with Nintendo using third party characters in Brawl, Microsoft could do the same as well.
