Nintendo has revealed that Genei Ibun Roku #FE - also known as Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem - will launch in Japan on December 26th. As well as offering up this all-important piece of info, three bundles have been announced for the game.
The bog-standard regular edition comes with a set of costumes as a pre-order bonus. These include Walter (from Shin Megami Tensei IV), the Protagonist (from Devil Survivor 2), Rei (from Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth), and the Princess class (from Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City).
The rather more fancy Fortissimo edition boasts special premium packaging with an illustration by toi8, a soundtrack CD with 6 tracks, artbook, pre-order costumes, some additional costumes (Fashion Show set and two Swimsuit sets for male and female characters) and a flyer to get early access to tickets for a special Genei Ibun Roku #FE Premium concert which takes place in Japan in May.
Finally, there's the hardware bundle which includes a black Premium Wii U set, all the content seen in the Fortissimo bundle, six character lyrics cards, two sheets of stickers and a download card for 3 additional "Support Quests".
The game is due for release some time next year in the west.

Balls in your court NOA. Will you be doing the honours or will Atlus have to do it for you?
Wait...so there's etrian odyssey gear?! That's a nice surprise.
If they do a Special Edition in the west, I hope they don't restrict some of the swag to the bundle like they did here. It's kind of disrespectful to those that already bought a Wii U.
Didn't think it would be launching so soon in Japan! Thought it would be a 2016 release over there as well...
Dear Atlus...
...Nintendo of America will most likely butcher the game if they decide to dub over the Japanese songs, so please have dual-audio this time and don't charge us the Atlus tax.
Also screw you for not making this just Fire Emblem with demons in post-apocalyptic Tokyo, where the player is actually the mother of Masakado. In other words, a Hideo Kojima game.
NintendoLife, you tricked me into believing there would be an actual swim suit included in the bundle :/
@manu0 it was a dirty trick
Wow, it seems Nintendo is really serious in pushing this out. There's even a concert planned. They must took a serious effort in making the music and song, indeed the music is pretty cool in the trailer.
Cool bundle and also "December 26th in japan"
@TheWPCTraveler Now I want to see Kojima make a SMT game with typical Metal Gear storytelling. Let's have a hour long cutscene about the ethics of Demon Fusion!
On topic: That pre-order bonus for the normal edition was made for me. Sure hope that makes it over to the rest of the world.
I really hope that LE comes to Europe!
Who is releasing the game in Europe anyway? Atlus or Nintendo? I hope Nintendo, because with Atlust there can be a delay of an extra couple months to a year!
And I hope the DLC will be on the Estore as well.
I just hope it is dual audio...otherwise im importing. Shocked its coming so soon though! (I may import anyway...because I'm impatient.)
Looks cool
I hope these bundles comes to US and Europe.
The only weird/bad thing is that the CD only has 6 tracks
I'd rather strap my manhood to a car battery than play this weeaboo/otaku bait.
I'm sick of these 'special edition' console packs with out a change to the Wii U color or theme. I was really hoping Nintendo would release a special edition 30th anniversary themed Wii U with a different color.
Ya this is amazing.
Amazing bundles for an amazing game. I already know for a fact we won't see a Wii U bundle for this in the west. If Xenoblade couldn't even get one, this doesn't stand a chance. But I do think we'll see a collector's edition.
This one would do just fine for me. Soundtrack, Artbook, all that jazz.
@Ryu_Niiyama Chances are it's not gonna be dual audio. This is Atlus we're talking about.
So it's called Genei Ibun Roku #FE rather Genei Ibunroku #FE... huh, learn something new everyday.
In any case, given some of the things included in these pre-order bonuses (specifically the concert ticket), I doubt we'll get these exact offerings available worldwide. We should at least be able to have the costumes as a pre-order bonus, something I'd quite like, and if the art book and CD soundtrack also end up available as a pre-order bonus outside of Japan, that would be even more pleasing.
This still stands as my most looked forward to game on the Wii U at the moment, and the pre-order bonuses will make my eventual purchase even sweeter. Now I just have to wait until Game actually updates their pre-order list so that they don't have both Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem and Genei Ibun Roku #FE listed (I have no idea which will end up being used as the official name for release in the EU).
Almost forgot about this game for while. Still my most anticipated Wii U game though.
I can't remember who asked me to @ them when Xenoblade X Collector's Edition came back in stock.
But it's back in stock.

this is currently my most wanted WiiU title after Zelda...salivating so much.

@OlicityBlows
strange, i live in a place where popstars exist that also wear swimsuits and other outfits not too different from the ones in the game.
i like good looking characters, so what is so bad about this? must every rpg be grim and gritty? wouldn't that be unrealistic? why not for one time an rpg where people look like they enjoy their live and have fun?
it's a strange time when such a concept is alienating in gaming. let them have fun ffs.
This game is just weird, I want to like it but it has that weird anime vibe that really turns me off.
@OlicityBlows No one asked you to play it, tough guy.
@JaxonH
Oh my god thank you thank you thank you. I missed out on the first wave and had given up on getting it when I saw this post. You are the best dude.
@Ryu_Niiyama Yeah Dual audio is a must... Can you imagine those J-pop songs translated to English? shivers
@DiscoGentleman Once a weeb, always a weeb. I'll be doing that as well.
I didn't think it'd be releasing so soon. Neat. Even now, I still wish it was what it seemed to be from the teaser trailer. FE crossing over with mainline SMT characters? Ah man, it would have been so awesome to see them team up and slay demons or somethin'. Ah, that would have been an instant-buy.
Anyway, yeah, I'm disappointed it doesn't seem to be going in that dark direction, but an Atlus game has never disappointed me so far, so I'm still keeping my eye on this.
Here's hoping this is a hit in Japan as that's the only region left that's keeping any real momentum for the Wii U. I'll be getting this for sure when it hits Canada.
@JaxonH
It's @MailOrderNinja.
@Splatburst @JaxonH Thanks guys. I got my copy reserved though I'll have to try and get a system again to play it, as my daughter ruined my Wii U this weekend.

Splatoon Bundle is on sale @BestBuy for $275. And if you buy Mario Maker, you can get Splatoon, Mario Kart 8 AND Smash Bros for $20 off each. And if you have GCU membership ($30 for 2 years) you get 20% off all those games too.
@JaxonH Currently I'm currently broke, but that is a fantastic deal. Thank you for letting me know. You sometimes get a bad rap but you are cool in my book JaxonH.
@MailOrderNinja
Well I appreciate that
Btw Xenoblade CE is also available @Newegg, comes out to be $5 cheaper than GameStop.

i love turn based jrpg,s.its my favorite kind of game.its looks to happy and coulurfull and young to me but its shin megami so things will get dramatic.i trust atlus.they deliver
I kinda want this game on the 3DS.
The swimsuits look okay, but really, it's such a boring trope at this point, I can't bring myself to care about that at all. The EO costumes are a nice touch, though, and I'm always in for some artbookery!
However, the LE-exclusive content and the lousy soundtrack selection CD are just awful.
Dear Satoru Shibata, please deliver to us the Fortissimo edition on the Nintendo UK online store. May you keep it from being GAME exclusive, and ward off lorry thieves.
This interests me way more than the straight crossover people were imagining back when it was SMT x FE. Can't wait.
@OlicityBlows why do you keep coming here then?
Walter? The chaos character of SMT4? Sign me up! I'd love to wear that as Not-Marth.
New Megaten related game. Count me in.
I want it.
Nice, persona q costumes.
@redivgamer90
again, why is it wasted potential? Becaue it's not grim and gritty? Why can't gamers accept that? It's one of the few RPGs where people have normal lifes and well...ejoy it. Believe it or not, not everything has to be f***ed up th be good.
I seriously don't get it. I have no problem with different content. I believe this is a problem of the whole industry. Especially Nintendo get flack for that from ''hardcore-gamers''. The students in my class talk all about Star Wars Battlefront and how they pre-ordered Dying Light, Black Ops II and LOL, but when i ask them if they accompany me to Gamestop because i wnat to snag an Event Code for Pokemon i earn an ''Oh my God''. Because Pokermon is not hardcore, or something stupid.
So to make it clear: i like happy worlds and happy characters. I enjoy Idolmaster: Cinderella Girls, Uta No Pri etc.In the last time i realised that happy scenarios can also be engaging. And it is a great contrast to the monotone world i life in. Why others can't accept such content is beyond me. Maybe the want to keep and defend the 'cool' brooding image they build all theit life, even if they play a game WHERE NOBODY ELSE IS WATCHING THEM.
@Legromancer The game including a 'happy world with happy characters' isn't the problem by itself. The problem is that the game was promised to be a direct crossover between a moderately dark franchise and a considerately dark franchise. Fans were expecting the crossover game to retain that, especially since that first reveal trailer. They have problems with the game because this bubble-gummy, pop star style that they have as an integral part of the game. It wouldn't be bad by itself, but is dissapointing because that style is practically the polar opposite of the style in both of the series'.
@DiscoGentleman Ah, okay. That's a good sign!
@DiscoGentleman Yeah, it might be a light game with dark themes a la P4, but from what I've seen, it just seems rated M because boobies.
weeaboo trash
Wow, so soon?!
If only Square could put out games this fast.
This looks like it's going to be fabulous. I love the art style and all the colour! It really reminds me of Persona 4 (which is quite possibly one of my favourite games / series), so I can't wait until it comes out in NA :3
