[Can any of Marth's descendants wield Falchion?]

Wait, wait, wait... Wood has Naga's mark too? He can wield Falchion?

And yes, of course forged weapons are stronger... But they have limited uses. (How many Hammernes can you get?)

Gold... Is that necessary?

[Can any of Marth's descendants wield Falchion?]

Oh... I see. That's too bad... It would be cool if Mark could wield Falchion... It's a cool sword. And strong... And it has infinite uses... And you can use it to heal...

Come to think of it, I guess it should be that way. It would be so cheap if all those different units could use Falchion. It's too good, I guess.

[Can any of Marth's descendants wield Falchion?]

I mean, besides Lucina... Like, Wood, My Unit, or any unit whose parent is Krom, Liz, or Emelina's child. Or something like that... It's probably a no, right?

Overly secretive? Yeah... I agree. That's good, I guess. But I think Nintendo of America is a bit too secretive. A bit of information would give fans something to look forward to, not that they don't have something to look forward to now. We're all looking forward to Awakening, even though there's almost no info about it's release date. The information that *is* given is vague. Ugh.

And if only NoA *did* try to localize FE games more quickly. Hopefully, after Awakening comes out, the popularity of Fire Emblem will shoot up. In which case, Nintendo may localize it faster.

Or if that doesn't happen, then Nintendo may just sort of "skip" Fire Emblem for a while, like they did after Shadow Dragon. *sigh* Shin Monshou no Nazo was never localized. What a pity. I had to import a copy to play it.

Anyway, yeah...

Does anyone think that by "several months" Reggie means 8-9 months? ...I know I'm being a bit pessimistic, but... Shadow Dragon was released in America after it was released in Europe. So does that mean it's going to be the same with Awakening? ...I hope not. (Well, I can look at the bright side. All the other Fire Emblem games released outside Japan were released in America first. Shadow Dragon was an exception.) I'm keeping that in mind, but... Why does NoA keep so quiet then? NoE has narrowed their release date down to "Q2 of 2013." Not only that, but they mentioned the game more at other events. NoA did nothing like that. The only time it was mentioned was at the E3. And even then, Reggie mentioned it ACCIDENTALLY. Come on. Why?

Also, does anyone think Awakening will be in the eShop? Just curious.

Is it just me? Or does anyone else think that "Plegia" sounds stupid...?

[[Nintendo Direct] First look at English localisation]

Finally! Some solid English proof that Awakening's going to come out in America!

But what did Reggie mean by "first part?"

FIRST PART OF WHAT?

Why couldn't he have been a bit more specific...? I'm dying to get the game...

*sigh* Too bad Nintendo had to add region locks to the 3DS. If that lock wasn't there, I would consider importing a copy of Awakening... But since I can't play it without buying a Japanese 3DS... I'll just have to wait.
