Fire Emblem: Awakening manual question

[Jerkface Killah]

I am deciding whether to get a physical or digital copy of Fire Emblem: Awakening. Is the manual actually substantial in the physical copy? So many manuals these days are just leaflets. Anyone own it who can let me know?

Thank you!

I seem to remember it being just a leaflet. As far as physical vs. digital, I would pick physical in this instance because you know in a few years its gonna be worth a bit of money. All the other games in the series are.

I am 100% about physical copies & I love the FEA cover art... but the "manual" is weak. A 4 square fold out.

1. Art
2. Basic Controls
3. Street Pass info
4. DLC info

Back of this is warranty & service info.

... weak sauce. The cartridge does have nice pixel 8/16 bit art.

Are you serious? Even Nintendo's doing this? Bah.

Let me guess, the full manual has to be downloaded online, right?

Both Vita and 3DS games seem to be doing this, but it's not a "go download the manual" thing. It's included on the game card, and you can pull it up on the home screen.

Frankly, it's a pretty logical thing to do. That way you can have it accessible anywhere.

How much is the digital copy? I got the hard copy for $39.99. Worth tracking down IMO for the case & ability to know I can play it decades from now

How much is the digital copy?

Full retail MSRP.

I'd really just go with the physical copy. It has nice boxart, nice pixel art on the cart, and a physical case for you to hold onto for years. Fire Emblem games seem to hold a good amount of value too. Even though it doesn't really have a "full" manual, at least it's nowhere near as bad as other games I've seen like Resident Evil 6. RE6 has a slip of paper with health warnings and another slip trying to advertise some new Hollywood RE movie.

Heh I actually passed on a used copy of RE 6 because I thought it was missing the manual.

Might as well pass on RE6 outright.
