Fire Emblem Fates is one of the major Nintendo titles being launched early this year on February 19, and some new details just have been announced!
The options for purchasing the game are plentiful: there are two main games–Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright and Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest. These can both be purchased individually at retail for $39.99 each. When the player has reached chapter 6, the game will give the players the option to purchase the other game for $19.99. According to a recent announcement by Nintendo, the third story (called Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation) will be available at a purchase price of $19.99 for all players that own either Birthright or Conquest, on March 10. A special edition was also previously announced, that will have all three games on a single game cart, an artbook, as well as a Nintendo 3DS XL pouch, for $79.99.
In other breaking news, a special New Nintendo 3DS XL will be available to purchase on the same day of the game’s launch! Set at a MSRP of $199.99, this Nintendo 3DS XL sports beautiful art inspired on the game on both the top and bottom of the clamshell design. However, we regrettably report that the game will not be included with the system, and must be purchased separately (NOOOOOOO!!!!).
The Fire Emblem franchise is a turn based strategy game focused on medieval warfare, with the prime elements being strategy and companionship. The previous entry, Fire Emblem: Awakening brought substantial attention to the franchise in the West, and was one of the best selling titles. We are excited that they are bringing even more Fire Emblem games here, and even other products such as the special New Nintendo 3DS XL!
Are YOU excited about the newly announced DLC details, the New Nintendo 3DS XL, or both! Will you be purchasing these games? Please let us know in the comments!
