Nintendo recently revealed a brand new trailer for Fire Emblem Warriors (Fire Emblem Musou) for the Nintendo 3DS and the Switch.
The new video features gameplay footage, characters as well as additional info about the game’s extra downloadable content.
The game actually shipped for both consoles on 28 September in Japan but the English version only ships this Friday.
Nintendo will be releasing three DLC packs for the game, each themed on a different game in the franchise:

As the story goes, the Kingdom of Aitriss is suddenly engulfed in darkness, and an otherworldly gate appears in the case. The castle soon falls under the creatures that spill forth and darkness slowly encroaches upon the kingdom.
