Fire Emblem series gets another DS remake photo

Fire Emblem is my kind of game. It's also the first game I ever wrote about on Destructoid. And if Nintendo keeps remaking them I'll have constant reminders of my first day here from now on.

The new remake is called Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem - Hero of Light and Shadow, coming soon for the Nintendo DS in Japan. Siliconera says that this is a remake of the Japan-only Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem. The teaser trailer on the Nintendo official webpage won't do much for you (no gameplay imagery), but at least you can see some pretty story art.

Nintendo has a pretty decent back catalog of Fire Emblem games to draw upon for remakes. That's fine with me. Keep 'em coming!

I want to like Fire Emblem, but it really doesn't work well with my irrational need to have everyone survive every battle. That and if you happen to piss off the random number god (which you will), it's restart time for you. Again and again and again.

These games are great. I wish more of them would come to the US.

100% agreed with Doomsday Forte. I absolutely love Advance Wars, because you can adapt so much of your shit to what's going on and who you're facing, but in Fire Emblem I always felt like I was being held back by my troops. and I hated the leveling system. it encouraged you shoving in your weakest troops into bad situations.

I like Fire Emblem. They need to skip the ones with Marth, because those aren't very good, and just remake 4 or 5.

Hooray! More of me resetting the system because a char died.

This is awesome though.

I'm just the opposite of Eskimo bob, Fire Emblem and Advance Wars touch very different areas of strategy...

WOO! Fire Emblem!

I got all the GBA/GC/Wii versions but the version they released on the DS isn't that easy to come by. Hopefully the next one will be more mainstream.

I'm glad that folks enjoy the series, but I truly wish that Intelligent Systems would stop working on remakes and DSiWare games in order to move back into the console space.

I loved the first Fire Emblem on the Advance, so I will by any Fire Emblem asap.


Now, all I need is a DS.

Fuck yeah. I've been itching for another round of FE. I loved the last one's level 5 hard mode.

@Doomsday Forte

Problem solved in the DS remakes. There's a mid-battle save point on most maps, so you have a place to fall back on if you get a bad level up or you get hit by a BS critical.

Also, you really don't need perfect stats to clear the game. It's easy to freak out because your main character doesn't have maxed attack and speed, but you can always pay a few extra bucks to forge a better weapon.

It's been a while since I've played a FE. I'm kinda in the mood for that kind of game again. I didn't like the style of the combat animations in the last DS remake though. I hope they have a more classic look this time.

Already posted my thoughts and Siliconera but again, go back to 2D Sprites, advance the gameplay thats been established sine FE7+ titles. Shadow Dragon was mess, with no story, terrible graphics, and mediocre gameplay.

I'm excited its Fire Emblem, love the series, just don't fuck it up this time IS. ;)

Shadow Dragon had no story because FE1 had no story. It's like with Final Fantasy.

@MrFriendlyFella

We never got to play the first 6 Fire Emblems. (Okay, first 5 now. ) Far as the West is concerned, this is brand new.

@Doomsday Forte: Have you tried any Super Robot Taisen (not OG) game?

But... but... Mystery of the Emblem was itself a remake of the original Fire Emblem, along with extra content afterwards. So basically, they remade FE1, and now they're remaking the remake of it?

@ ShawnKelfonne

According to Wikipedia, only the first part of Mystery of the Emblem was a remake. The second part was a sequel. So presumably Intelligent Systems will remake/expand the second part, as they just remade the original FE as FE: Shadow Dragon.

Speaking of Shadow Dragon, I haven't been able to get into it for some reason, despite loving Path of Radiance on Gamecube.
