Dcubed Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 So, DLC has been coming out already in the NA version of the game, and... -Champions of Yore 1 costs 2.50$; -Champions of Yore 2 also costs 2.50$. -CoY 3 is coming, and will likely cost the same. However, a pack containing the 3 episodes will be made available for 4.00$. This is good news, honestly. I was worried all this DLC would add up, but 4 dollars (as long as the European conversion is done properly) sounds like a great price for it Did the Japanese version get the discount packs, or has that been added for the western release?
Jonnas Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Did the Japanese version get the discount packs, or has that been added for the western release? The Japanese version had no such packs. It was added in the US version, and only time will tell if Europe will get the same.
Hero-of-Time Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 I've just been listening to the latest 8-4 podcast and it seems this was the mysterious Project X they were working on! Man, I love those guys.
liger05 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Seems like Nintendo really underestimated the demand in the US and didnt ship enough copies.
Jonnas Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 That's not all. I've heard stories about the eShop going down due to so many people trying to download Fire Emblem! I'm glad to see the series doing well Turn it into a flagship title!
flameboy Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Seems like Nintendo really underestimated the demand in the US and didnt ship enough copies. I can confirm it's impossible to get a copy...I searched 2 future shops, best buy, eb games and Wal-Mart and cannot find it anyway. Some places not even had initial shipment yet according to staff. My favourite indie store had it on back order indefinitely and Amazon.ca have it on sale for $69.99 (for the record including tax that equates to £50ish insane price for a handheld game). Can also confirm eshop had sucked last couple of days.
Ike Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Take my goldmoney, Shibata! (Although think I might prefer the blue colour of the US/JP one) We get an updated boxart as well: No horrible black bar, looks so much nicer.
-Dem0- Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 (Although think I might prefer the blue colour of the US/JP one) Yeah it was a more darker/metallic blue. It's nice but, it's practically my Blue XL with a nice design. We get an updated boxart as well. No horrible black bar, looks so much nicer. Looks regal!
Ganepark32 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Hmmm.... have been considering picking up a 3DS again for the likes of this, Castlevania (even though I have a strong suspicion it won't match the DS games in quality and looks odd visually) and a few other things so would be very interested to see how this limited edition pack gets priced. I'd have preferred it to be a standard 3DS model, as opposed to the XL, but that's just me. Something for me to consider anyway.
Ike Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Yeah it was a more darker/metallic blue. It's nice but, it's practically my Blue XL with a nice design. It does just look like the blue XL, does it look good in person since I'm not sure from the photos. Now my hype died down, I'm a bit unsure if I want to replace my red one .
-Dem0- Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Don't get me wrong, I think the Blue XL looks fantastic, not dull at all, nor is it annoying (imo) like the Aqua Blue 3DS. I doubt that I'll get the LE FE XL because it looks like it's exactly the same colour as my current XL. Edited February 15, 2013 by -Dem0-
Tamazoid Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 It does just look like the blue XL, does it look good in person since I'm not sure from the photos. Now my hype died down, I'm a bit unsure if I want to replace my red one . It thought it looked pretty good when Shibata held it up during the direct. I've been thinking about upgrading to a XL for a while now, contemplated importing the Pikachu one from the UK. I'll probably be getting this.

Grazza Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I am very tempted to get the Fire Emblem 3DS XL, apart from two facts: 1) I already have an XL (and an original!) 2) I don't know if I could transfer my data to the Fire Emblem 3DS without it overwriting the pre-installed game. Other than that, I'd seriously consider it as it looks fantastic. Also, my XL is Silver, so it wouldn't be too bad to get another one, right?
Ike Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 You'll keep the preinstalled game, it merges the two accounts together. Bit unsure if the game will transfer off the system though, the preinstalled games you got on the DSi XL didn't transfer to the 3DS...
-Dem0- Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 2) I don't know if I could transfer my data to the Fire Emblem 3DS without it overwriting the pre-installed game. Don't know if your transferred data will overwrite Awakening, but you should be able to re-download it nonetheless.
Dcubed Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 You'll keep the preinstalled game, it merges the two accounts together. Bit unsure if the game will transfer off the system though, the preinstalled games you got on the DSi XL didn't transfer to the 3DS... Yes it will. You just re-download it after you're done transferring (I've done it myself - sneakily scored a "free" copy of MK7 digital on my regular 3DS this way )
RedShell Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Still unsure about this game. I've never been massively into Fire Emblem (or the turn-based strategy genre in general for that matter), always much preferred Advance Wars (with the exception of Days of Ruin/Dark Conflict ). Pretty sure I'll be hooked on MH3U (and still playing LM2) when this comes out anyway.
Ike Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Yes it will. You just re-download it after you're done transferring (I've done it myself - sneakily scored a "free" copy of MK7 digital on my regular 3DS this way ) Nice. That was only only concern so good to know. Still unsure about this game. I've never been massively into Fire Emblem (or the turn-based strategy genre in general for that matter), always much preferred Advance Wars (with the exception of Days of Ruin/Dark Conflict ). Eh? They are practically the same except in Fire Emblem you have the same units instead of just buying more generic mass produced ones.
RedShell Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Eh? They are practically the same except in Fire Emblem you have the same units instead of just buying more generic mass produced ones.Fire Emblem is way more "serious" than Advance Wars though. I really like the colourful and cheery presentation of AW... so representative of real life war.
Ike Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Is that why you didn't like Dark Conflict then? Thought you might enjoy Awakening though, it has quite a bit of character customisation (as in skills, character supports, etc). Hopefully we'll get the same demo the US got.
RedShell Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Is that why you didn't like Dark Conflict then?Bingo! Thought you might enjoy Awakening though, it has quite a bit of character customisation (as in skills, character supports, etc). Hopefully we'll get the same demo the US got.I'll certainly give it a try if we get that demo.
-Dem0- Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 I'll certainly give it a try if we get that demo. Have you played FE: The Sacred Stones yet? if not, you should give it a go it was the 2nd Fire Emblem game I ever played, it's a bit different, but a very enjoyable experience. The GBA games will probably be a good place to start.

The GBA games will probably be a good place to start. I have completed the first GBA Fire Emblem (only FE game I own, the first localised game in the series too, I believe) and I have The Sacred Stones on my 3DS courtesy of the Ambassador Program, but only played the first few areas so far.Was playing it last night actually after posting on here. Sometimes I can really get into it, and it's a lot of fun. But then there are times when the pace, complexity and dialogue of the game put me off. I can definitely see the appeal of FE, but for me it's one of those games that I need to be in the right mood to play. Not like Mario Kart, which I can happily play anytime, anyplace, anywhere!
-Dem0- Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 NOA video summarising some previous & upcoming DLC packs. I haven't watched it as it will most likely contain a fair few details/spoilers.
