    Last week, Nintendo revealed a brand new Fire Emblem game for the Nintendo 3DS during their latest Nintendo Direct broadcast.

    Titled Fire Emblem If, the game has a more Asian style than its predecessors, which were inspired more by medieval Europe. While many fans are expecting to wait months for a western localization announcement, it seems like that might not be too far off.

    This is a rumor for now: an email circulating from Nintendo Australia (thanks, Go Nintendo) has lead people to believe that Nintendo is already planning on localizing the game:

    Fire Emblem If is launching some time this summer in Japan, exclusively for the 3DS. We’ll keep you guys posted.
