The arrival of a new Fire Emblem is a frightening thing for me. Why? Well, while the prospect of playing this NES remake is exciting, the obsessive desire to keep every soldier alive isn't.

I'll likely have to forgo that obsession Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, scheduled to move six spaces forward to retail next week. Since I'm planning on reviewing the Nintendo DS game over the course of just a few days, someone's going to have to give up the ghost.

Take solace in the expected heavy losses with new shots of the Intelligent Systems developed game.
