Here's more fantastic news from the Nintendo Media Summit, specifically for fans of the Fire Emblem series. Coming to the Nintendo DS in the first half of 2009 is a remake of the original Famicom Fire Emblem entitled Shadow Dragon.
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon will feature a new look and updated music as well as four brand new prologue chapters and six difficulty levels.
Even more exciting is the game's use of Wi-Fi: you can join other human players by bringing five of your units online, the DS' microphone can be used for voice chat, there will be an online store with ever-changing items, and lastly, you can loan your own units to friends for use in their single-player campaign.
As a huge Fire Emblem fan, I've got to say, Shadow Dragon is sounding mighty impressive. All of these hot new titles are actually making up for Nintendo's lackluster performance at this year's E3, at least in my mind.

Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

You've just won my love back. Thank you for an amazing day and media summit.
Love, Pendelton.
And please, dont make us European wait too long!
Please sell Monolith Soft. It is now apparent that you have blatantly disregarded their titles and are now unwilling to release them outside Japan. As such, until you do so, I will never buy another first party title again. This will not be hard, as Marvelous has not one but FIVE RPG's coming out in the next half year.
With 98000 burning hearts, an otaku.

I'm curious, as a Fire Emblem fan, did you really like the GC and Wii games? Because I thought I was a huge Fire Emblem fan and I am STRUGGLING to enjoy Radiant Dawn.
