A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...
What systems?

The real manual can be found on the cartridge (via Home Menu), which usually has more info anyway.
Welcome to every Nintendo first party 3DS manual
The only 3DS games I have are RE Revelations, KH 3D and Tales of the Abyss and all of these had a manual :S

I think the manuals to games like Pilotwings Resort and Nintendogs + Cats were more traditional, but yeah, Nintendo stopped with that and has gone minimalistic with their physical game manuals for a while now.
All first party titles since Ocarina of Time 3D have been like this.
Ah yes, the launch games have real booklets. From OoT 3D onwards though it's entirely been the fold out pamphlets, as far as I'm aware.

I hate the new first party instruction pages... I think it's a ploy to get us to buy DD so we don't have to have those things near us.
As much as I loved traditional manuals, I don't really mind these. Except for the few manuals with amazing artwork, I never touch them again after I start playing the game. 3DS titles also have a digital manual, in case you do need to reference controls, or something.
I might buy the game now, i never finished a FE because after 7-8 chapters i always lose a character and consequentially ragequit.
No prob, here's another one:
The "manual" is just a piece of paper folded into four sections.
This looks beautiful.
Shame that we never get those kinds of deals, nor I was able to make any kind of preorder here. (I live in Mexico)
C'mon, Nintendo, throw us a bone here! We're only south the border from the US! [/minirant]
Manuals are a relic of the past. Even so, all Nintendo games on the 3DS have that folded piece of paper, for the very basic need to know things. A digital manual is available on the cartridge, I think.
I'm all aboard the hype train for this, and Cordelia. Anna and *secret character*
will probably win me over though. I wish previous Fire Emblems were easier to find at a decent price now; I just have my buddy's copy of Path of Radiance sitting at the bottom of my backlog.
What bonuses for your Avatar's birthdate do you get asides from the in-game birthday present? Earth-evasion like Ike in PoR?

Nothing else, really.

I'm going to swing by the EBGames in the PATH tomorrow to see if they have it, if not I'll head to the one on Yonge Street. If not, Eaton Centre. If not, I'll wait ...
.
Going to call tomorrow just in case lol.

So was FE:A, Project X? I had no idea they were working on it.
There are in fact two in the PATH, and both open at 8am. Rise and shine. Let me know what they say by the way.
Huh, the 8-4 guys never mentioned that before. But based on the tweet, it seems like a collaborative effort. 8-4 translated, while Treehouse did the rest.
Hmmmm... I doubt it, you'd think the TL would be done significantly before they wrapped their Project X work (early December?). But I could be wrong. This kind of explains why NoA had them conduct an interview with IntSys out of the blue, lol.

Oh really?
I only know of the one near the Second Cup and the foodcourt, near Wellington I believe. It's sad, I don't know the name of the signs ... I just know how to get to Ryerson lol.
I was also unaware that 8-4 had anything to do with it. I was only informed that Treehouse did it. Either way, I'm also reading the tweet as him saying it was a collaboration rather than that it was solely 8-4.
There's another one at Bay and King, check EBgames.ca store locator. Can't hurt to have more options on your quest.

I wish I worked downtown again. Damnit. Maybe the EB at Dufferin has some?
I just discovered that the 3DS XL comes with a 4GB SD card, so I downloaded the demo and played through it. I'm quite impressed. The battle map sprites have a charming character to them that simply can't be seen in video footage. Animated attacks look good, and I appreciate that you can fast-forward them by holding A. I'm liking the 3D effect a lot - particularly during map sequences, for some reason - but either I haven't gotten used to it yet or my eyes just aren't compatible, because I find myself feeling a little cross-eyed 15 minutes after playing. Might just have to disable it, which is a bit of a shame.
I was already looking forward to getting the game Monday, but after having played the demo I'm that much more eager to sink my teeth in. If Toronto EBs really are breaking the street date, I may pick this up early and return the Best Buy copy when it comes in the mail.
On a semi-related note, I've also noticed what appears to be visual artifacting on the character models with 3D enabled, something close to shimmering but it seems most obvious on the outer edges of the character models. It's probably native to the 3D tech used in the hardware, because I notice the same thing in Super Mario 3D Land (which is sort of delightful in its simplicity).

So many post already? Cool. Everyone buy this game please.
Question for anyone that already has it, does the North American version have the cute little pixel art on the cart like the Japanese version?

Yep! It was posted earlier.

Sweet. I wonder if my EB will get the game tomorrow too. Hurray for screw ups!
Around 8,579 blocks supposedly.
8,579 blocks for the game.
Hmmmm... that takes up 1/3 of the free space, but I've got virtually nothing in there as is and no plans to download other games. Fire Emblem is an exception since I never trade them in.

you mean, like cartridges and discs?
I hate digital manuals. They're much less convenient to navigate when playing games. There are some games that GREATLY benefit from physical manuals, such as any game where you're not familiar with the controls, mechanics and features.

Just pre ordered. My bahdy is ready. Time to join hype train in 3.... 2................ 1..........
That's also true. I definitely don't prefer fiddling with digital manuals, but then again, you don't always have the booklet on-hand, especially in the case of portables. There are advantages to both. I would rather have both, if possible!
