Jave Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=36846 DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT KEEPS THE EPIC ADVENTURE OF FIRE EMBLEM AWAKENING BURNING BRIGHTJan. 10, 2013 Nintendo has revealed new information about Fire Emblem Awakening, launching exclusively for Nintendo 3DS on Feb. 4. The story of Fire Emblem Awakening begins in the kingdom of Ylisse and centers on Lord Chrom, the brother of Ylisse's Holy Ruler. Chrom leads the Shepherds, a band of soldiers who defend the borders of Ylisse from Plegian bandits. Players create a custom avatar and play as Chrom's right-hand man who is deeply ingrained in the main storyline. In addition to an immersive storyline, Fire Emblem Awakening keeps the adventure going with StreetPass and SpotPass functionality, as well as downloadable content available for purchase. Newly revealed information includes the following: Downloadable Content: Maps will be available to purchase and download starting on launch day, and others will be distributed regularly. The first downloadable map will be available for free for a limited time only and will serve as an introduction to the steady weekly stream of additional maps. The additional maps will be offered at different price points. Players with a copy of Fire Emblem Awakening and a broadband Internet connection will be able to access the downloadable content through the Outrealm Gate located on the in-game world map, which will be unlocked after the player completes the fifth mission in the main story mode. The content will include additional information about new class types, skills, playable characters, maps with new storylines and special maps that let players earn more experience points, gold or other rare items. SpotPass: In addition to content that can be purchased from within the game, Nintendo will also distribute new content via SpotPass for free. SpotPass content will be distributed in the launch time frame and will feature new maps with new storylines, characters and items. StreetPass: Fire Emblem Awakening players can set up a StreetPass Team and exchange certain game data with other players. The StreetPass Team is made up of 10 units from an existing team in story mode. Players can also edit team names and create custom messages for other players to see. StreetPass characters will randomly appear on the world map, giving players the option to recruit the team leader with gold, buy any weapons or items the team is carrying or battle and win to recruit the leader for free. Like the random battles in the main story mode, the player will have full control of battles in StreetPass mode. Players will also earn "renown" based on battles won. A players' "renown" is visible to other players through StreetPass. Fans can also try out Fire Emblem Awakening prior to launch by downloading the free demo available in the Nintendo eShop. The demo will be available on Jan. 17. When the game launches on Feb. 4, shoppers can purchase the packaged game as usual at retail locations nationwide. Or they can simply purchase and download the game on their own from the Nintendo eShop using a wireless broadband connection. Regardless of their purchasing method, the game sells for a suggested retail price of $39.99. For more information about Fire Emblem Awakening, visit http://fireemblem.nintendo.com/. So we can try out the game before it's officially released. SO MUCH HYPE RIGHT NOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Tactician Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I can't wait to play this game. I wonder how long that first map will be free? Still, I'm so excited for this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tharne Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I can't wait to play this game. I wonder how long that first map will be free? Still, I'm so excited for this game. In Japan the first DLC was free between 19th April to 31st May, so pretty much a month and a half. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taichi01 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Wow I totally didn't see NA getting a demo of this game. Plus, this really confirms that NA E-Shop is getting a digital download. Good going Nintendo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Tactician Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 In Japan the first DLC was free between 19th April to 31st May, so pretty much a month and a half. :) Thanks, I was wondering if the time the map would be offered for free would be the same as in Japan or not. That gives me enough time to unlock the Gate in game so I can get the first map free. I just might get the demo since I'm so eager to play this game.

Shadow Stalker X Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 O_O Wow. The news for this game just keeps getting better and better. First time I'm seeing Nintendo putting out a demo of one of their first party titles. I'll be trying this out the instant it's released.

Onestep Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Ahahaha! And my US 3DS XL literally just arrived this morning. It only took three days for it to come to Edinburgh from somewhere in Canada. That's really good. This is glorious.

veetasoy Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Oh, now that I think about it... I wonder if this demo will even be available on the Canadian e-Shop? I couldn't find the Fire Emblem: Awakening entry at all last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find the Fire Emblem: Awakening entry at all last week. Even if it isn't, all you have to do is change your location to the US, access the eShop, and download it.

Karasz Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Oh my god, yes! A demo and the first DLC for free?! Couldn't ask for anything better! NoA is sure letting Fire Emblem fans feel the love, aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoA is sure letting Fire Emblem fans feel the love, aren't they? Guess they realised how dumb it was to not release FE12 and want to make up for it now :P Still sad that I have to wait longer. Hopefully we'll get a demo before release as well. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
