Item Description

Plenty of players knew Marth as the blue-haired swordsman from Super Smash Bros. long before they could play his own story in English. Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon finally fixed that. This Nintendo DS remake of the 1990 Famicom game that started the Fire Emblem series retells Marth's war from the beginning, as the exiled prince of Altea gathers an army to free the continent from the kingdom of Dolhr and Medeus, the Shadow Dragon.

The battles are pure Fire Emblem. You move your units across grid maps turn by turn, weighing terrain, weapon choice and enemy reach, and every decision matters because fallen allies are gone for good. The cast is large and memorable, with the Pegasus Knight Caeda, the veteran knight Jagen, the swordsmen Ogma and Navarre and the young manakete Tiki among the dozens who can join, and keeping your favorites alive becomes a story of its own. The remake also supports touch controls, so you can direct the army with the stylus.

Intelligent Systems added a good deal to the original. New prologue chapters ease newcomers in and end on a hard choice, as one unit must be left behind as a decoy. Characters can now change class directly, opening up new ways to build an army, and you can make a temporary save in the middle of a battle. If losses mount and your army drops below fifteen survivors, optional Gaiden chapters appear as a safety net. Veterans can push into Hard mode's escalating tiers, from Brutal up to Merciless, which turn the same campaign into a serious tactical test. The online battles and shop that ran over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection have since been shut down, but the campaign is the main event.

Marth's original adventure never left Japan, so this release was the first official chance for English-speaking players to see where Fire Emblem began: the Falchion, the permadeath stakes and the series' blend of chess-like strategy and personal drama all got their start here. With the series now a worldwide hit, Shadow Dragon is its founding chapter, and a fascinating way to see how much of modern Fire Emblem was already in place from day one.
