Nintendo Download: Fire Emblem Fates

Also, Project X Zone 2

It’s almost Fire Emblem day! But first, let’s get the Wii U stuff out of the way first. Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos, Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom, and Double Dragon III: The Sacred Stones all hit the Wii U Virtual Console, as well as TAP TAP ARCADE. All of those VC games are classic, but Fire Emblem!

Both versions of Fates, Birthright and Conquest, launch this week, with accompanying themes to boot. Then there’s the first DLC pack, aptly called “Map Pack 1,” with 11 maps, and characters from Awakening as a Season Pass of sorts. It will arrive weekly through April 21. Map one, called “Before Awakening” will be free tomorrow. Project X Zone 2 is another big ticket release for 3DS, and Musicverse: Electronic Keyboard is also hitting the eShop.

If you missed last week’s edition, here it is. As for what I’m getting, Fire Emblem Fates! For those who are interested, sales are going on for both the Wii U and 3DS.
