Limited Edition Fire Emblem Echoes Bundle Available At Launch
If you're excited for Fire Emblem: Echoes: Shadows of Valentia – a modern re-do of Japanese-only Famicom title Fire Emblem Gaiden – the newly announced limited-edition bundle may be worth considering.
The bundle features the game (with a reversible cover sheet that resembles the original cover art), three pins (Alm, Celica, and Marth), a hardcover artbook, and the soundtrack, all for $59.99 on May 19.
The same day you can also pick up Alm and Celica amiibo as a set for $24.99. These amiibo open exclusive dungeons and can be utilized to summon an ally for a single turn in battle (at the cost of some of Alm or Celica's health). Other amiibo can also be used in the game.

Our Take
The regular version costs $39.99 – is the $20 difference worth what you get?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
