So, I just picked up Fire Emblem Awakening, and I'm having some issues, unfortunately since the game came out back in February all the discussions I could find didn't really pertain to me anymore. So, I loaded up the game, but didn't turn on spotpass or insert an SD card until a couple chapters in. Now, I have spotpass turned on and my 3DS (and the game itself when I started another account) tells me I have data available, but there's nothing in the bonus box and I receive the "unable to receive data" message when I try the manual update.
At this point, all the spotpass DLC has been released, so this shouldn't be an issue. I have no connection problems, my wireless access works fine. I've tried turning the spotpass on and off, both in game and from the main menu, and I've tried starting a new game. So, what is the issue? I really want to build a team from some of the spotpass characters, but it's looking impossible at the moment. Do I need to get farther in the game, or is this some other issue? Any suggestions for fixes?
