Video: Check Out This Trailer for Fire Emblem Fates DLC

Keeping the action fresh

by Mitch Vogel Wed 23rd Mar 2016

One of the rather controversial, yet generally welcome, features of Fire Emblem: Awakening was the wealth of DLC made for the game. Some claimed that it made the game unbalanced by offering opportunities to grind experience or money in a much quicker manner than one could normally do, while others argued that it properly complemented and expanded upon the already lengthy campaign. Evidently, the DLC plan must've been successful, as it seems that there are similar plans for Fire Emblem Fates.

Ever since the game launched in North America, maps have been released nearly every week, and it seems that this will be the case for quite some time. Also, there's the entirely new campaign – Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation – which adds an interesting third story path for those of you that don't want to choose between Hoshido and Nohr.

What do you think? Have you been pleased with the DLC so far? What would you like to see in a future map pack? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Hate to beat on a dead horse but... I really really hope they stop censoring and removing features in future games.

I know, unlikely, but one can hope.

Having to wait until May in the UK and seeing the trailers and build up from the US, I started playing F E Awakening again and that seems to be enough for now I had my Fire Emblem fix for now and I have lost a bit of interest in Fates. I was going to buy all three games but now the hype has died down I may get one of the games.

Not a good move from Nintendo spreading release dates so far apart.

I'm currently playing birthright and it's one of the best games I've ever played. I love everything about it, I kinda wanna finish it ASAP so I can move onto conquest but I'm most excited for revelation. For all the people in the UK who are wondering, yes the hype has died a bit but this game or set of games is more addicting than awakening in my opinion so if you loved that game then it's a no brainier to buy these new ones.

I'm like halfway through Birthright right now after finishing Conquest a few weeks ago. I'm kind of getting burned out, so I'll pick up Revelations in the summer after a couple of months. As for the other DLC, I'm not really feeling it. After all is said and done, I'll have dropped 80 dollars on this game, so I think I'll have my FIre Emblem fix for a while.

Im just on the last chapter of awakening now, perfect timing for Fates in May (gives me a little break from FE!). Think I'll play Star Fox 64 3D next in prep for SF Zero. I really am behind on my 3DS games!
