The special edition is sold out in 99% of cases so if you like Awakening style with grinding and easier gameplay, get Birthright. If you want it without grinding and more linear and difficult style, get Conquest. If you can't make your mind up, choose your favourite anime character on the box I suppose.

Once you've finished one, buy the other as DLC when prompted and you will be able to get the third campaign in early March. The purchase new path/DLC is an option on the main menu too unless you own all three paths, which removes it.

You also get another 3 save slots per path owned, up to a total of 9.

I'm actually really curious why the revelations DLC is not out until March, yet if you buy the ( extremely limited it seems? ) special edition then you have it immediately. Why not just have it up? Why bother with a delay?

I would love to grab the special edition, but I would get it for retail only. I'm fine with just having the game digitally instead if the physical cart isn't made more widely available.

I don't think you get Revelations immediately with the special edition. You just get a free download as part of the purchase price

I can't see it now, but I'm certain the official site says/said Revelation is available day one with the SE.

I'm pretty sure it also literally says "on the same cartridge" so I'd assume you don't have to download anything aside from maybe an unlock code.

Polygon and Gamexplain have been streaming the SE and they have have Revelation (it's revelation, not revelations).

And I assume it's to encourage you to play through both Birthright and Conquest first.

Revelation is on the SE cart. No download required. The Nintendo Minute video even said when you get to the choicen, it gives you three options. Choose Nohr, Choose Hoshido, or Choose Neither.

Apparently all the cartridges contain the majority of all 3 campaigns (the two unlocks require 100 MBish downloads,) but the SE apparently has all 3 unlocked from the start.

In Japan even the SE had a 3 week delay with a download code.

An NNID can be freely transferred from system to system both by users and by Nintendo.

I think it's pretty fair to say the NNID is tied to the system considering you can only sign onto one device at a time and migrating the NNID requires either the device in question or manual intervention by customer service.

Digital purchases are inconvenient to transfer and not as flexible as they should be but they also aren't permanently tied to systems so if you lose/break your console or just buy a new one you get to keep your games. So when someone says they're hesitant to buy digital because games are tied to their systems, depending on what their specific concern is it may or may not be addressed already.

re: Fates chat; Best Buy was doing a deal where you could get one game physical and the other digital. If I recall correctly, buying that bundle also netted you five dollars off either the DLC or Revelation. So if there's a Best Buy near you I recommend doing that

It's $5 off of Revelations, and the GCU discount only applies to the cartridge portion of the bundle purchase, but still, that's a total of $13 off before tax. I don't know if they tax digital downloads.

Edit: my bad, I misread. It is indeed $5 off Revelations and a DLC map pack, and the little bump says "save up to $10" so I guess it's $5 off each of you were to buy both.

How I understand FE Fates you would be able to buy the discounted DLC but if you don't have a physical cart you won't be able to play it. It should work with any copy you buy physically but I doubt that the two different versions would share the DLC.
