New Fire Emblem: Awakening downloadable content went live in Japan today that kicked off the “Another Story: Future of Despair” arc. The second piece is scheduled for release next Thursday.
Another Story: Future of Despair 2 throws players into a map in which they must rescue four children. Two will be fighting as decoys while another pair will be hurrying for an escape route. You’ll need to take down enemies that are in the way of the children in time to complete the DLC. It’s possible to view special conversations if the children’s mothers/fathers move next to them.
Another Story: Future of Despair 2 will be available for 250 yen. The first episode isn’t required in order to download this DLC.
The 3DS XL Circle Pad Pro is scheduled for November 15 in Japan. It costs 1,500 yen.
Nintendo has been keeping quiet about its overseas plans for the Circle Pad Pro, but I don’t think it’ll be too long before we see it in North America and Europe as well.
