StreetPass NYC Celebrates Fire Emblem: Awakening Week!


StreetPass NYC Declares the First Week of February "Fire Emblem: Awakening Week"

StreetPass NYC, a popular grassroots Nintendo 3DS fan club in New York City, invites all Nintendo fans in the New York Metro Area to celebrate the release of Fire Emblem: Awakening exclusive to Nintendo 3DS via three events over the course of the first week of February.

"We have dubbed the time between February 4th and February 9th 'Fire Emblem: Awakening Week' to celebrate the new release" says Jordan White, Founder and Event Organizer of StreetPass NYC. "We have huge Fire Emblem fans who over the years felt the franchise they love so dear was left out between all the Mario and Kirby releases. So we are super excited that Nintendo of America is giving this game all the attention that this long lasting franchise deserves and so will we!"
