This week the company announced that sales of the Nintendo 3DS have topped 5 million in Japan alone.

Sales of the portable system were boosted after a timely price cut and the release of Monster Hunter in the region last year. Nintendo beat itself with the fastest selling hardware in Japan. The previous keeper of this achievement was the company’s own Nintendo DS.

Released over seven years ago in Japan the NDS took 56 weeks too reach 5 million. The 3DS took only 52 weeks.

Krom and a second character created by the player will cross paths at some point in the game.

Fire Emblem: Kakusei will have maps from previous titles, and the battle system will have a new Dual system, which allows you to receive status boost when you are adjacent with an ally.

Fire Emblem: Kakusei arrives in Japan April 19th.

While the live action ad doesn’t show off anything remotely related to the Vita it is a huge step up from those god awful, wtfweretheythinking, ads that aired for the PlayStation 3 during the system’s early days.
