Fire Emblem: Fates is finally almost out in Europe and yet there’s still bad news to be had – some customers’ special editions are being cancelled unexpectedly at the last minute.
The special edition includes both the main campaigns and the additional ‘Revelation’ content. The edition also comes with a steelbook case, poster and artbook. The special edition sold out extremely quickly in the UK and now it would appear that some people are being told – a month after placing their orders – that they won’t be being fulfilled.
Nintendo are attempting to right the wrongs however by offering all of the content to affected customers in a different form, along with a t-shirt and 3DS theme.
This letter found on Reddit details one unlucky customer’s cancellation:
