I think that if you pre-ordered the bundle and since GameStop still has the pre-order bonus thing on there, you should be able to get the artbook still. Not sure, though. I know that it will depend on whether they still have artbooks left or not. Might also be a first come, first serve type of thing. Also, if they have the games on the 4th and won't sell them until the 5th, I'm going to be pissed as well.

Yeah, I've noticed that GameStop does that a lot with Nintendo games. The shipping date that GameStop has is usually the release date of the games...That's what they did with Pokemon Conquest when it came out. They said that usually they only get Nintendo games on Sundays or Tuesdays. Never Mondays...

Yeah, I had a feeling that this game would sell more than Nintendo anticipated as soon as they announced it after their 3DS expo at E3. Nintendo has always underestimated the fans of Fire Emblem and I'm still surprised by the amount of advertisement they have been giving this game.

Well, I'm pretty sure that it's just Amazon at the moment that has the possible shipping delays stated. Whether GameStop and other retailers do is another story. It just depends on how many copies Nintendo of America makes of the game for launch.

Since I don't know what the pre-order limit for Fire Emblem: Awakening is, I wonder how many copies will be sold. Also, I'm wondering if it has any connection to the pre-order bonus at GameStop or not. Like I said, I know that Amazon is still accepting pre-orders, just that the game might be delayed a bit in shipping. And GameStop is still accepting pre-orders for the Fire Emblem: Awakening 3DS bundle. And whether this delay affects smaller game stores and other stores like Target, WalMart, and Best Buy is unknown. We can only wait and see I suppose.

So according to Amazon's website, there is a possible chance for shipping delays for Fire Emblem: Awakening. On the Amazon website for Fire Emblem: Awakening, it says that "Delivery of Fire Emblem: Awakening pre-orders may be affected by manufacturer shipping delays . Amazon apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause." Not sure if the delays will actually occur, however. Also, GameStop is apparently no longer accepting pre-orders for the game itself. They're still accepting pre-orders for the Fire Emblem: Awakening 3DS bundle, but not the game alone. Just thought I would share this to let everyone know. Amazon's Fire Emblem: Awakening Page GameStop's Listing for Fire Emblem: Awakening Notice how the option to add the game is not available on GameStop's page for the game? The only reason that I can see for the shipping delay and stuff is that Nintendo of America wasn't expecting so many people to pre-order the game. Also, apparently GameStop has reached their pre-order limit for the game, so that would be why it's not available for pre-order as the game alone anymore.

Most definitely going to choose the English voices. I can barely understand a single word of Japanese. Even with subtitles, I'd be more focused on reading the subtitles that watching the action as it goes on. That's why I prefer dubs of anime series.

It's possible that if Awakening does well that there might be a sequel to Awakening. If they don't make a sequel to Awakening then I have a feeling that they might either remake another game or make a new game with a brand new setting to it...Though, I'd like another Magvel game.

Here's the GameStop listing for the bundle: Fire Emblem: Awakening Bundle

Not sure if anyone has said this already, but GameStop has the Fire Emblem: Awakening 3DS Bundle listed on their website.
