Shadow Stalker X Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 (edited) Looks like we get the first bits of new information on the game since it was announced http://andriasang.com/comzi0/3ds_paid_dlc_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. http://andriasang.com/comzhl/nintendo_direct_site/ And a link to the Nintendo's live stream: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n10/nintendo_direct/index.html Edited December 26, 2011 by Shadow Stalker X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Stalker X Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 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.

Celice Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esaka Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 So DLC helps US release, agreed or disagreed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) 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?

Celice Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 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. So DLC helps US release, agreed or disagreed? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Stalker X Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIRE EMBLEM PHREAK Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 S***, I wanted to be the first to break it...but oh well :-P, I'll translate "Kakuse" for you guys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Glenn Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Andriasang is reporting that it's Fire Emblem: Kakusei, which translates to Awakening. Source: http://andriasang.com/comzi3/nintendo_direct_live_blog/ 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.).

FIRE EMBLEM PHREAK Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Why must be so slow x_x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Stalker X Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deuxhero Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Stalker X Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatgamecat Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Stalker X Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 "12:36: Iwata does not mention the download content that was mentioned in NIkkei." I wouldn't expect Iwata to bring up the DLC in this video. Nikkei only reported on the DLC today, while the video was prerecorded a week ago. I doubt Iwata was ready to divulge that info when the video was made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch the video, but did he showcase any games using the service? Nintendo doesn't usually blindly show game-augmentations without a game to go with it.
