December 5, 2012

Nintendo hosted yet another Nintendo Direct video conference this morning, they announced a few things like the state of Pikmin 3, the release window for Luigi's Mansion 2, and a release date for Fire Emblem: Awakening.

Be sure to expect several features comparing Awakening and XCOM come the end of February/early March.
