Marth may not always fight for his friends, but he does headline the first set of DLC.
Nintendo has shed details on the first set of DLC for the 3DS's Fire Emblem: Awakening. The first round of DLC will feature classic Fire Emblem character Marth.
Once players download him, they must clear a map. When they do, Marth will join them as a playable party member.
Marth will be available as a download on April 19. The download will be free of charge until May 31, 2012. Past this date it will be priced at 300 yen (approximately $3.70 in American currency).
