SpotPass

SpotPass is a feature of the Nintendo 3DS that allows users to automatically download updates. Most of these are notes from friends using SwapNote, or messages (and ads) from Nintendo.

Fire Emblem makes its debut on the Nintendo 3DS with the game Fire Emblem: Awakening. Intelligent Systems, the creators of Fire Emblem, will send out free additional content via internet and Spotpass. Players can receive a new Character set, a new weapon, or even a new sidequest.

Items
These weapons are downloaded straight to your Convoy. However you can only obtain each item once. If one wishes to obtain more, duplicates can be obtained from paid DLC.

Characters
These are characters from previous Fire Emblem tittles. There are a total of 120 Spotpass characters in a total of 12 sets. 9 sets are based off of an individual game with 9 previously playable characters and the main human antagonist of each game. Seisen no Keifu is represented twice; one for Siguld's generation and second for Celice's. The twelfth and final set are 10 additional villains from various games, though some games are represented more than once.

In order to recruit a Spotpass character the player must defeat said Spotpass character. Once defeated the player can recruit them or buy an item from them. Should the player choose to recruit them, he/she will be able to be used in any battle at any time. However due to the limited space, only 20 characters (Spotpass, Streetpass, and DLC) can be saved. When recruited the character will have no items on hand.

All characters can be reclassed whatever non-special class of that character's gender the player desires including a Strategist. Both forms of Marth are the only characters, however, that can be a Star Lord. Several characters are also available for DLC.
