[Shadow Stalker X]

Looks like we get the first bits of new information on the game since it was announced

http://andriasang.co...lc_fire_emblem/

-The game looks to be set for a March 2012 release
-First game to feature paid DLC

I like the fact that it looks like a March release. Not so much the DLC.

Seems that Satoru Iwata's Nintendo Direct presentation later on today is going to cover games released through til March, so there's a good chance Fire Emblem 3DS will be among the subjects.

And a link to the Nintendo's live stream:

The article does seem ambiguous as to the nature of the DLC, though I'm at least inclined to believe that when they speak of DLC, it refers to what everyone knows as DLC; that is, additional content (whether in the game or not) that is downloaded from an online shop.

Even though it doesn't explicitly state a March 2012 release. I find it hard to believe that when the service is available in March, that there won't be something to go along with it.

Either way, I think for the moment all we can do is wait until the Nintendo Direct presentation for confirmation. If it's coming out in March, it'll be in the presentation.

According to some, Kotaku is adding likeliness to actual DLC for the game, though.

Also Kotaku reports that DLC pricing will be several hundred yen which is about 5 quid.

My guess will be trial maps.

Sounds strangely like Valkyria Chronicles DLC.

So DLC helps US release, agreed or disagreed?

So this means it (the game) will be released in or before march? (In Japan, ofc.)

I'm being kinda dense at the moment, just wanna make sure I understood.

DLC sounds interesting. But yeah, does it have any effect on the release chances?

We'll know in an hour when the Nintendo stream commences. Well, video, since it's already been recorded, just not shown :P It's going to cover all products up for sale before and at March. Considering the timing with the news, and the news from more than one place, it's probably it's going to be mentioned at the conference.

Well, the name of the game has been announced. Fire Emblem: Kakuse, set to be released April 19, 2012. Anyone know what Kakuse stands for?

[FIRE EMBLEM PHREAK]

S***, I wanted to be the first to break it...but oh well :-P, I'll translate "Kakuse" for you guys...

[Lord Glenn]

Andriasang is reporting that it's Fire Emblem: Kakusei, which translates to Awakening.

EDIT: Plus, they mention that it's a new, standalone title, borrowing elements from past entries in the series, etc. Mainly stuff we've already known about (Skills--which, from what I gathered, can be completely customized and swapped around--world map, etc.).

Why must be so slow x_x

[Shadow Stalker X]

Thanks for the translation. With a name as vague as Awakening, it can mean pretty much anything for the story. Also, I noticed during the video that there was voice acting from the characters in the battle segments.

Hmm, "Awakening" would fit with the idea Krom's sword being "sealed".

Waiting for the conference footage to be uploaded, want to look at it in detail.

[Shadow Stalker X]

The main things that would need to be looked at in greater detail would be the skills (which seem to be interchangable?) as well as the details they were giving regarding the 2 people in battle at once. It looked like at one moment before a battle started that Krom got +10 to several of his stats.

[mjemirzian]

Does anyone know if you import a Japanese 3DS to NA whether you can access the Japanese 3DS store or what sort of credit card/payment limitations it has?

Nintendo might make it extremely difficult to access this DLC even on an imported JP 3DS located in NA.

I was thinking more of what order the characters are in in the unit list.

Does that logo remind anyone of Final Fantasy? : p

I think so too.

"12:36: Iwata does not mention the download content that was mentioned in NIkkei."
