Fire Emblem Awakening

Fire Emblem: Awakening (ファイアーエムブレム覚醒 Faiā Emuburemu Kakusei, Lit. "Fire Emblem: Awakening") is a game for the Nintendo 3DS in the Fire Emblem series. The game was announced at Nintendo's 2011 3DS Conference ahead of the 2011 Tokyo Game Show. The story follows Chrom, a prince of the Kingdom of Iris, and his companions as they struggle during a turbulent era. Players are able to combine the might of nearby allies to enter dual battles to defeat enemies. The traversable world map, last seen in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, and special skills like Astra from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn will make a return. This game will also feature a customizable Avatar, a feature last seen in Fire Emblem: Shin Monshō no Nazo ~Hikari to Kage no Eiyū~. There is also a playable second generation of characters, which was last seen in Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu.

The Japanese release was on April 19, 2012. In June 2012, The European and American releases were announced for 2013; In October 2012, the European release was later narrowed down to the second quarter of 2013.

In Japan the game has sold more than 240,000 units, making it the fastest selling game in the Fire Emblem series.

This marks the first 3DS game to offer extra downloadable content. The DLC allows players to download new characters including classic Fire Emblem heroes such as Marth and Roy.
