A number of you may have guessed that Fire Emblem: Awakening would be released either late 2012 or sometime in 2013 back when it was quietly announced a few weeks ago at E3. Well if you guessed sometime in 2013 then you just won about a half a year or more of waiting because Nintendo revealed in their Nintendo Direct presentation that the game would indeed be coming out in 2013.
At the moment however, the name of the game was simply called Fire Emblem. Nintendo also confirmed that Fire Emblem: Awakening will contain the same type of paid DLC that is available in Japan.
