So. Good.

Between Fire Emblem and Etrian Odyssey February is a good month for 3DS owners who enjoy punishingly hard RPGs. :v:

There's a chance that the game is sold out on preorders. You may not be able to waltz into Wal-Mart tomorrow and buy the game.

Plus the fact that the games are tied to the system instead of an account weirds me out. Can you back them up on your computer or something?

You can back up the contents of the SD card at any time. Just copy everything onto the computer, and if you want to switch to a bigger SD card or something, just take all the stuff you backed up and copy it onto the new card. As long as it goes in the same 3DS, it'll act like nothing happened.

The SAME 3DS, though? If I lose my 3DS or it gets stolen or whatever I can't just move the backed up purchased digital games, right?

How do I check how much blocks my card has? The FE:A thread said that the digital version of the game is 8500ish. I'm pretty sure though that I don't have enough, since I still have the 2 gig card it came with.

Unless you've downloaded literally nothing you won't have enough - the game is 1.5 gigs. You can check to make sure by going to system settings and selecting Data Management, but if you want to download it your best bet is buying a bigger SD card.

Yeah I figured. Bah! What kind of SD card is recommended? I'm just gonna buy something at Best Buy or something since I don't want to wait for something to ship from Newegg or whatever.

Great, then looks like I'll be dropping money on a bigger SD card so I can afford the digital version's 8k+ blocks of space (but not before re-downloading my eShop stuff so I can redo them all over again)

You know you can transfer stuff from the SD to your computer and then back to the new card when it's in, right?

I was in the same boat as that dude too because my 2 gig SD card was full of stuff. Bought a new card, transferred the stuff, and it's worked fine. I think I actually prefer Fire Emblem downloaded instead of the physical version, so I can keep something else in the 3DS. Hell, I'll probably get EO4 fromt the eShop too.

Yall listen up the monster hunter demo is real bad and you shouldnt let that keep you from trying the real game. The demo is only good for people who have played monster hunter games before and know what to do and thats real bad of capcom to not make a real demo instead of just using an old tgs demo from 2011.

It's a hugely rear end in a top hat move of Capcom to have one of the two monsters be Plesioth. :argh:

I have nothing against dungeon crawlers, but I loved Ghost Recon and I want some more of that so Fire Emblem it is!

You made a good choice. Ghost Recon wasn't bad but man you are in for a treat with Fire Emblem, it's an upgrade in every way. I don't know how experienced you are with SRPGs but FE:A is great because you can choose both the difficulty and if you want permadeath or not. So you could be playing on the hardest difficulty but not have characters die forever when you lose them, or play on Easy but still lose a dude if you manage to get them killed. It's pretty great all around.
