Another batch of Fire Emblem: Awakening details have been translated from the latest Iwata Asks. You can read about the team’s approach to downloadable content and more.

The new information is as follows:

– Downloadable content topic arose at the end of development
– Scheduling was a bit tight
– The producer said something along the lines of “So, should we add download content?” rather than “Let’s add download content”
– Request arrived extremely late, so they couldn’t do things like remove passages from the main game or make adjustments to passages in the game
– Might not have been a problem
– Iwata said one concern with games and DLC is making sure you have enough built into the main game so that you absolutely will not hear criticism that the game is too lacking in content for those who don’t buy the DLC
– The team is currently making the DLC
– Plans to continue making more DLC from here on out
– SpotPass Team will be sent out to players on a daily basis
– This team will include characters made in the image of past Fire Emblem characters
– Fight the team, make them into allies, etc.
– Roughly 120 teams will be sent out
– Optional first-person mode included in the game
– Added because the staff believed it would work well with 3D

Fire Emblem: Awakening will have a marriage system, as has been revealed in the second edition of Iwata Asks: Fire Emblem Awakening.

Director Genki Yokota and producer Hitoshi Yamagami were in agreement that adding in this element came from the idea of love of the characters being a major theme for this project. The marriage gameplay in Fire Emblem Seisen no Keifu left a big impression on Yamagami.

Fire Emblem: Awakening offers more couple combinations than ever before. Players can marry any ally or “My Unit” character. Special graphics were made for proposals, and Andriasang reports that some staff “even suggested that they make kiss faces for all the characters.”

Update 2: Looks like I was right the first time! You can download this demo right now if you’re in Japan.

Update: Demo release date updated and contents confirmed!

Tecmo Koei and Nintendo delivered a surprise on the Japanese eShop today. Users can download a demo for Dynasty Warriors Vs. later this month.

The trial takes up nearly 1,000 blocks and can be tested ten times apparently.

Don’t quote me on this just yet, but I believe the demo offers some tutorial, single-player, and local multiplayer gameplay.


Update: Multiplayer.it posted up these shots which are actually from Captivate 2009. Go slap them!

I know a lot of Nintendo fans are hoping Capcom will announce a localized version of Monster Hunter Tri G at Captivate. It’d be nice if that actually happened!
