This Week in Nintendo 3DS News - Pokemon, Fire Emblem and More

The Nintendo 3DS and Pokemon world have exploded this week with the most interesting news that ever come to the handheld possibly for the entire year. Our blog has it all.

First off, Pokemon.

They've called it a Pokebomb. Well, it really is. Nintendo announcing Pokemon X and Y for the 3DS is like something along the borders of "expected" and "surprising." It is expected that the mainstream Pokemon games will come to the 3DS inevitably. What's surprising is that they will release the games simultaneously across all regions on October 2013. Add more is the massive trailer that made our jaws dropped. Finally, 3D is happening to Pokemon.

This Week is Fire Emblem: Awakening Week

We all know Fire Emblem: Awakening is coming to North America. What we don't know is that this specially designed Fire Emblem 3DS is also coming as well. What's more, Nintendo has been dropping bombs with announcements such as the availability of all the DLCs that were available in Japan, a demo coming out on January 17th, and of course, actual rewards in-game when completing a map. The Nintendo 3DS Facebook page is crazy with Fire Emblem art and it looks to me that it will be a big game, as far as marketing is concerned for Nintendo.

Here are some of the best news on this week:

• Animal Crossing: New Leaf will come to Korea via ACNewLeaf.com. Exciting times (and games) are coming to South Korea eh?
• Here's Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon Box Art
• The 3DS Piracy fears are impacting Devs. - Dave Cook talks about it in VG247
• Professor Layton and the Azran Legacies coming to Japan on 28th of February
• Professor vs Ace Attorney Trailers. Lots of trailers at NintendoEverything.

More detailed blog posts regarding Pokemon, Fire Emblem, and Monster Hunter 4 are coming soon.
