Endorph posted:If you wanna play the Smash Brothers dream team and have Marth and Roy back to back, cool, here's Marth and Roy. If you don't, then you've only missed out on having Marth and Roy. Which you obviously don't want. Aren't a bunch of the DLC characters included as part of the Spotpass roster, anyway? Like, you can still get versions of dudes like Marth or Ike or whoever for free that are different to the ones you can pay for?

SpaceDrake posted:Also, as much as there's talk about Nintendo going all out in advertisement for this (and it is getting fairly wide, the new GameInformer apparently has four solid pages of ads for FE:A), I'm still amused by the fact that the official website for FE:A is still this and that there's zero mention of Awakening, or even Shadow Dragon, on https://www.fire-emblem.com when we're a hair over two weeks out from this thing. Did they just not bother having the web team do anything for it? Like not even bother converting the Japanese site over? The nintendo.com address used to be a Shadow Dragon site, but in the last couple weeks they just deleted everything and replaced it with the Awakening site. I noticed when I went looking around for the Sakurai Asks interview that was on there and had to dig it up in google cache. I'm thinking they haven't even remembered they own that other one.

Endorph posted:No, the most important thing of all is the fact they can inherit good growths from Donny, which leads to things like Nn with a 98 Str growth. Oh man, I forgot all about that character. Is "Nn" the official localisation or is their name still "n_n" or whatever the gently caress?

yellowcar posted:So like Capcom, they've ran out of ideas and just went all "gently caress it, do a cross-over game. that makes money right?". Iwata's (paraphrased) explanation was that, as game development grows in scale, they're increasingly looking to work with external partners in order to provide a steady stream of new games, and this was one of those instances.

DrManiac posted:If Nintendo breaks the street date for the US I would totally cancel my amazon order and use their lovely eshop.

Francis posted:I like the conspiracy theory that they did it on purpose to force people to buy from the eShop and see the DLC better. People said the same thing about the new Animal Crossing game, which has now sold around 800k digital copies, so if they are understocking games in order to encourage digital sales it's working really well.

The Hyrule Historia book has been really successful, apparently, so maybe if you pester Nintendo/Dark Horse they'll bring over the official Awakening art book and you won't have to worry about the Gamestop pamphlet.

Lord Ephraim posted:I just which they announce the pricepoint of some of the DLC, so I can pre-load how much credit I need. I'll have $15 left over, and I think that's enough for the Demon Fighter/Bride class DLC and Drakengard Roy. The DLC prices look to be a direct conversion from the Japanese prices - that is to say, 250-yen DLC is $2.50, 400-yen DLC is $4, etc. EDIT: okay maybe not?

Francis posted:Except not, since Marth was 300 yen. Even if it was a direct conversion we'd be getting a slight discount thanks to the weak dollar, but as it is it looks like the prices will be cheaper than they were in Japan. Oh, I didn't think to actually check it against the Japanese list, I just remembered that 250yen was the low end of the scale and assumed that;s how much the Marth DLC cost.

Trouble the Cat posted:So, there's one thing stopping me from just cracking and getting the digital download. What would happen if my 3DS broke, and like, my SD card got ruined/lost in the process? Would I need to buy the download all over again when I get a new system or is there some way of proving I already bought it so I can redownload it. I know it's not a problem with PC Digital Game purchases, but I'm still not clear on how this works with console game shops because I don't use them often. >>; If your 3DS is lost or irreparably damaged then you're screwed.

I'm glad the international version (or at least the NA version) is asking a more reasonable price for the DLC so far. Some of it seemed kinda lightweight and I probably wasn't gonna buy most of it at JP prices, but I'll probably end up buying all of it if they keep the prices low, keep doing bundles, etc.

I do wish they'd been able to talk a bit more about the actual localisation process itself, since I find that sort of chat hella interesting.

Flameingblack posted:Is there a reason to buy a hard copy of the game and not buy it from the 3DS store? Some people are skittish about buying 3DS games digitally due to the fact that the 3DS doesn't have a proper account system, which means digital purchases are gone for good if you lose/irreparably break your 3DS.

http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-3DS/Fire-Emblem-Awakening-725039.html I'm not familiar enough with the NA version of the game to recognise how much has been dicked with, but Casual Mode has been renamed to "Newcomer Mode". It mentions the Avatar's default name as "Robin", too - is that the case in the NA version?

Oh, okay. I wasn't sure about the default name, I don't think I've ever seen it mentioned anywhere.Color Printer posted:Yep, Robin is the default Avatar name in NA. A nice unisex name. They're probably going to keep Morgan's name, too, but I don't know how the European localization team does things. Sometimes the European localisation is more-or-less the same, sometimes they completely rewrite/retranslate everything for no reason, rarely for the better.

Apparently Yosuke Kozaki is doing some sort of Q&A thing on Reddit soon? Does anyone have any info?Jerry Manderbilt posted:Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't NoE localizations have an option to switch between English and French and German and Italian and whatnot? Every now and again they'll print different single-language versions of the game and distribute them in specific countries, but they only really do this when they can't afford to fit the entire EFIGS script on one cart. Awakening is, what, 1.6GB? That'd leave 'em with 400MB extra space to play with, which seems like more than enough space.

NOE confirmed the same early-adopter DLC deal that NA got - Champions of Yore 1 (Marth) is free for a limited time, Champions of Yore bundle is discounted for a limited time. Reggie also gave some info on NA sales - Awakening has sold around 240k in NA so far, with "over a third" of sales being digital. "Over half" of all players have purchased at least one item of DLC.

Yo UK dudes, apparently GAME has started selling digital versions of first-party 3DS/Wii U games, and they've got the digital version of Fire Emblem for £34.99: http://www.game.co.uk/en/fire-emblem-awakening-202401?categoryIdentifier=428847 I can't vouch for the service, but I'd imagine they should be able to e-mail you the redemption code immediately after checkout.

I figure a lot of you probably saw this in the 3DS thread, but for those of you who didn't: http://club2.nintendo.com/30/ NA dudes, if you register both Awakening and Shin Megami Tensei 4 with Club Nintendo by August 31 you'll be eligible for $30 eShop credit. That's enough to buy, what, half of the Awakening DLC?

If Nintendo was switched on they'd be doing eShop sales to correspond with each character reveal. Even just their usual modest discounts would be enough to trigger a crapload of impulse buys whenever character xyz shows up.
