One reason why we haven’t had a new Wars game in a while is that Nintendo studio Intelligent Systems has been busy working on other projects. Like Hiku-osu, this adorable puzzle game for the 3DS.
That new Fire Emblem for the Nintendo DS – actually an old Fire Emblem remade – is coming to Japan next month, specifically July 15. That was fast! Hopefully Nintendo of America will have some news for us at E3.
The latest Nintendo-published downloadable game for the DS may be one of the worst-named Nintendo games of all time. It’s also another proof that top Nintendo-affiliated developers could school a lot of iPhone game creators.
Nintendo has given Western audiences a chance to experience the very first entry in the 19-year-old series with Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, a remake of Fire Emblem, originally released on the Famicom.
Fire Emblem on the Famicom is not a game that aged well in terms of graphics. But as a beacon of everything right and good about tactical/strategy role-playing games, it’s still second to none. Forget Radiant Dawn on the Wii; the DS is where this series belongs.
