Instead of starting work on a new entry in the Fire Emblem, Nintendo has decided to once again revitalize a past work and bring Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo Hikari to Kage no Eiyuu to the DS. It’s understandable, even forgiveable, when you think about it though. The original Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo was an SNES game that contained a remake of and sequel to the NES game Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryu to Hikari no Tsurugi. That NES game was recently remade and released on February 16, 2009 as Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon for the DS.

It seems unlikely that Nintendo would rerelease another port of the original Fire Emblem game, so Andriasang’s guess that Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo Hikari to Kage no Eiyuu will just be a remake of the sequel is probably correct. In the sequel, Marth discovers that he didn’t completely defeat the Dragon King Medeus. Hardin, Emperor of Akaneia, is taking over other countries and hunting down Marth after being corrupted by Medeus and Gharnef, the priest that killed Marth’s father. Marth has to get the Fire Emblem and Star Orb to save the day.

Nintendo also released a Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo Hikari to Kage no Eiyuu DS trailer. Let’s take a look…

I had to import the latest in the series, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, because I simply couldn’t wait for the February 2009 release in the US…
