Fire Emblem Echoes On 3DS Will Have A $67 Season Pass

Nintendo has revealed that Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia will have a season pass when it releases on May 20th. The season pass will include five DLC packs and will set gamers back $67.50 in Australia. It’s said that buying the season pass will save you 30%.

Honestly, this seems like a bit of a non-Nintendo move. Their track record with DLC has been really well-priced.
