At this rate, English-speaking Fire Emblem fans may one day be able to play all the early games in the critically acclaimed strategy series.
The first DS Fire Emblem game, released outside of Japan as Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon, was a remake of the very first Famicom/NES Fire Emblem.
Now Nintendo looks like it giving that game's sequel (actually the third entry in the series) the same treatment. 1994's Super Famicom/SNES Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo is being remade for the DS, Nintendo announced today in Japan.
The DS version will carry the name Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo Hikari to Kage no Eiyuu. This unofficially translates to Mystery of the Emblem: Hero of Light and Shadow.
In its original Super Famicom form, Mystery of the Emblem consisted of two parts: a remake of the original Famicom game, and an all new sequel. With DS already having a remake of the original, it's presumable that the new remake will focus exclusively on the sequel part.
Nintendo hasn't shared any details on the DS version of Mystery of the Emblem. However, you can get a first look via a trailer that was posted at the official Fire Emblem site. Or, of Japanese scares you, check it out at YouTube.
