Fire Emblem: Awakening gets free maps via SpotPass

Fire Emblem: Awakening is getting free additional maps via SpotPass through April, not to be confused with the various paid maps available as DLC.

Fire Emblem: Awakening is getting more free game content, this time using the 3DS SpotPass feature. The first one titled "A Hard Miracle" is available today, and involves Chrom as he helps a mysterious woman rescue a group of kidnapped villagers.

Nintendo is planning more of these episodes to roll out over the next few weeks: "Ghost of Blade" on March 28, "The Wellspring of Trust" on April 11, and "The Radiant Hero" on April 25. These will be interspersed with extra weapons, playable characters, and challengers for the Double Duel mode.

These episodes shouldn't be confused with the downloadable content found in the Outrealm Gate. Instead, you just need to make sure that SpotPass is enabled and then go into your Bonus Box to find the extra maps. They'll have been automatically downloaded if your 3DS was connected to a wi-fi point.

      Oh, so that's why my Fire Emblem logo has that blue dot on it. Nintendo is getting better at this Internet thing but they need to get better at branding and explaining it. I thought SpotPass was StreetPass for a while.

      Nice, free maps along with DLC. I'm always down for more Fire Emblem content.
      Also, if anyone's confused at how to reach this, on the world map, click X---> Wireless---> Bonus Box---> Update Now if needed. You need to be in the endgame to use the Bonus Maps, but the teams you can summon at any time.
