Fire Emblem Awakening

Fire Emblem: Awakening (ファイアーエムブレム覚醒 Faiā Emuburemu Kakusei, Lit. "Fire Emblem: Awakening") is a game for the Nintendo 3DS in the Fire Emblem series. The game was announced at Nintendo's 2011 3DS Conference ahead of the 2011 Tokyo Game Show. The story follows Krom, a prince of the Kingdom of Iris, and his companions as they struggle during a turbulent era. Players are able to combine the might of nearby allies to enter dual battles to defeat enemies. The traversable world map, last seen in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, and special skills like Astra from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn will make a return. This game will feature a player character that can be customized, a feature last seen in Fire Emblem: Shin Monshō no Nazo ~Hikari to Kage no Eiyū~.

The Japanese release was on April 19th, 2012; the European release has been announced, for sometime in 2012. An American release has yet to be announced, though it is expected.

In Japan the game has sold more than 240,000 units, making it the fastest selling game in the Fire Emblem series.
