Nintendo Provides New Details About Upcoming 3DS RPGs

Nintendo provided new details about several of its upcoming role-playing games for the Nintendo 3DS. This included the announcement of a special Fire Emblem Fates Edition New Nintendo 3DS XL launching February 19th and the reveal of a Collector’s Edition for Bravely Second: End Layer, which includes the upcoming sequel to Bravely Default that launches on April 15th.

The Fire Emblem Fates Edition New Nintendo 3DS XL (game sold separately) launches on February 19th for $239.99 and features art inspired by the game on the front of the hardware. Players can choose to purchase one of two versions when Fire Emblem Fates launches on February 19th for $49.99 each. In Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright, players battle a corrupted king. And in Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest, a misguided kingdom must be changed from within. Each path is a complete story and a complete game. Playing both will show players two different sides of one conflict. After completing Chapter 6, players will have the option to download the other version of the game and experience a new adventure for only $24.99. In addition, a third story, Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation, which finds the game’s main character choosing neither the “Conquest” nor “Birthright” path in the story, launches as DLC on March 10th for $24.99 for players that already own the “Conquest” or “Birthright” version of the game.

A special edition will also be available that includes all three games on a single game card, an artbook and a Nintendo 3DS XL pouch for $99.99. When the game launches, further DLC in the form of new maps will also be released on a regular basis, with the first map launching on February 19th. Players can choose to buy each of these maps individually, or purchase Map Pack 1 for $22.49 to get access to them all at a discount once they are released.

When Bravely Second: End Layer launches exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS on April 15th, a Collector’s Edition will also be available for purchase. The Collector’s Edition includes the game, a 10-song original soundtrack and 250-page deluxe art book. A demo version of the game, Bravely Second: End Layer – The Ballad of the Three Cavaliers, will launch in the Nintendo eShop prior to the full game’s launch. This demo includes a story different than the one found in Bravely Second: End Layer, as well as new jobs and areas to explore. StreetPass tags and bonuses from the demo will also carry over to the main game.
