Aussie Nintendo Download Updates (31/3) – Other Emblem
We’re sending March on in style, with a massive… Fire Emblem… sale…? Okay, sure! Fire Emblem is great, and we have Fates coming in May! It’s just a bit odd to have the sale start already, and end before Fates is even out here. But who can complain about cheaper Fire Emblem? And when did Awakening get so much DLC? We’ve sorted the list, so you can tell what each bundle pack includes! Aren’t we great?
In other news, Metroid Other M is hitting the Wii U eShop, sort of coinciding with Metroid’s 30th anniversary… who knows if this is part of some greater celebration? There’s also a few other releases to check out, some Lego Avengers content, and some non-Fire Emblem sales too. The 3DS is rather barren, outside of the massive Add-on Content sale list, with just Justice Chronicles up for download.
So other than any potential ninja games that don’t show up until Thursday night, this is it! What’s piqued your interest this week? Let us know, in the comments below!

Was it that hard to make Awakening 50 bucks, Nintendo?? Bout damn time.
If you were to buy FE:Awakening digitally in it’s entirety based on these discounts it would be $46.85 for the game + $31.85 for DLC which totals to $78.70.
However without the discounts, digitally the game costs $69.95 + double the amount of the discounted DLC which is $63.70, entirely the game totals to $133.65 which is absolutely ridiculous especially when the total DLC costs more than retail games
So no more SNES releases for the 3DS?… Hope there is another roll-out soon.
Great headline. I loved it.
How to choose the best DLC packs? Any recommendations?
I found some links but still undecided:

Dam u vook sending me broke this fortnight on GE :'(
Probably worth remembering that EB Games is still offering a 15% discount on eShop cards, which can help you to save a couple more bucks off the DLC.
