SMT/Fire Emblem Crossover Gets New Name, Release Date Periodically we hear something about a crossover game between Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem, about as often as we hear about Bigfoot sightings. This time, however, it can’t get more concrete than this: we have a finalized English name and a release date for the summer. It is definitely on the way!
Natsume Hits Pay Dirt With Unopened Harvest Moon From Their Shelves Earlier this year, we reported that Natsume was in the process of selling off the excess inventory they had stockpiled over the past twenty years of business — everything from obscure DS games about cheerleading to valuable SNES titles. Last week, the moment everyone had been waiting for finally happened: a shrinkwrapped copy of the original SNES Harvest Moon went up for auction. The winning bid was $3,783,33.
This Is The Final Day To Get The Fallout 4 Season Pass For $30 When the Fallout 4 Season Pass was first announced, the cost was $30. Bethesda has since expanded what they plan to put in their DLC, and hence, the price of their Season Pass will be expanding as well.

Fire Emblem Just Had Its Best-Selling Opening Week Ever With Fates You can consider Fire Emblem Fates a success!

Fallout 4 Creation Kit Gets A Release Window One of the major additions Bethesda is planning for Fallout 4 is the Creation Kit, a set of modding tools based on the same utilities the dev team used to make the game.

A New Fallout 4 Patch Is Coming Fallout 4 will be updated to version 1.4 shortly. Though this version has the usual amount of bug repairs and performance tweaks, its true purpose is to set the coding groundwork for the game’s upcoming DLC content, which has been expanded since it was originally announced. In fact, the season pass now costs $49.99 — but don’t panic if you bought it already; all customers who purchased a Season Pass at its original price will be grandfathered into the new plan at no extra cost.
