The MSRP of the Special Edition is at $79.99 but this was actually sold for an equivalent of $100 in my country just yesterday, I saw someone selling his copy of the Special Edition for around $125 – and he actually got offers from interested buyers! I’m already seeing prices of $200 over at, so I’m not at all surprised.įinally, having the Special Edition will allow you to play through the introductory chapters and get a feel of the general storyline before you’re asked to make a choice between the different paths. While I don’t have any plans of selling my copy in the future, I can’t ignore the fact that the Special Edition of Fire Emblem Fates will have a very high resale value given it’s rarity and the demand for it. It was neat to see all three paths when I got to the Branch of Fate – not everyone had the third option. While it’s not recommended to go through the Revelations path on your first playthrough (that storyline has some spoilers that can ruin both the Birthright and Conquest paths), it’s certainly nice to have that option available right off the bat. The same logic applies for lending the game – when you lend your standard copy of Fire Emblem Fates to a friend, you won’t be able to lend that friend any of your DLC.Īnd speaking of Revelations – the Revelations path won’t be available for download until March 10, so the Special Edition offers early access to it. Because the Revelations path is DLC only, I’d have to purchase two copies of it if I wanted the freedom to play that path on both my devices. With the Special Edition, I don’t need to worry about switching between devices because I can access all the three paths from the cartridge. It’s a real problem – I own both a 2DS and a New 3DS XL and my Fire Emblem Awakening DLC are all on the 2DS, so I can’t access any of the DLC content on my New 3DS XL. Having the Special Edition of Fire Emblem Fates also allows those who have multiple 3DS consoles to play any of the three paths on any of their 3DS devices without needing to purchase multiple DLC copies. That’s right, the cartridge has both Birthright and Conquest (the two retain editions) AND Revelations as well.Īll three paths on one “Special” cartridge, It’s because the Special Edition of Fire Emblem Fates comes with a special version of the game – a single cartridge that has all three versions of Fire Emblem Fates. And not because it came with an artbook and a pouch, even if the artbook is awesome. Even the highly sought after Bravely Default Collector’s Edition failed to grab me, despite being packaged with really good bonuses like an artbook and soundtrack CD (this game had excellent art and music) and all those neat AR cards with actual (but unnecessary) game functionality.īut when I found out about the Special Edition of Fire Emblem Fates, I knew that I had to have it. I ignored all the other special editions that got released for the 3DS. In my sizeable 3DS game library, I only have two limited editions: Code of Princess because it was sold to me used at a really good price, and Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson because regular editions of it never became available. I know – running out of storage space was one of the reasons that got me to stop collecting comic books and board games. And storage space, that’s a resource that can be harder to come by than actual money. These extra stuff, they not only cost more, but they also take up more space than the usual game. Still, not including either of the games is kind of a disappointing move on Nintendo's part.I normally avoid limited/collector’s editions of video games simply because I don’t need the extra stuff that these versions come with. Obviously, the console is going to be a collector's item real quick. Update: More information about how Fire Emblem Fates will sold, the bundle option, and the DLC has been added. A season pass will be sold for $17.99, with content available at a la carte pricing as it's released. That edition comes with an artbook and a carrying pouch for a New 3DS XL. That DLC will be priced at $19.99, also.įor those that want all three stories up front, a $79.99 bundle will be available with all of them on a single card. Later on, Nintendo will release a third branch of the narrative that sees the hero choosing neither the Conquest or Birthright paths. After you reach a certain point, you'll have the option to purchase the other side for $19.99. Fates comes in two different different versions with unique stories. The console retails for $199.99, and you'll have your choice of how to play the latest in the long-running Fire Emblem series. There's a catch: neither Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest or Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright will be bundled with the 3DS. A special edition of the *New* Nintendo 3DS XL featuring Fire Emblem Fates artwork will be released on February 19.
