Find a sacred sword and use it to save a kingdom as
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon heads to NintendoDS. For the
first time in the classic Fire Emblem Strategy Role-Playing
 Game
series, there is the option of Multi-Player action over Nintendo
Wi-Fi Connection, adding a whole new dimension of gameplay and
strategic planning that can be shared with friends and fans of the
series.
Using skill, tactical battle-planning and no small amount of magic,
players must embark on a quest to destroy the resurrected dark
dragon Medeus, who seeks to conquer the entire world. Charging into
battle in Europe on 5th December, 2008, the game is based on Fire
Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, which was created
in 1990 for the Nintendo Entertainment System but never released in
Europe, despite becoming the most popular in the series in Japan.
Now the remake of this Nintendo Entertainment System classic has the
popular weapon triangle system integrated for strategic enhancement.
One hundred years since Medeus was slain and the Kingdom Altea
founded on the continent of Akaneia, Medeus is back and it falls to
exiled prince, Marth, to save the kingdom from ruination. Success
for Marth and his comrades rests on finding his father's sacred
sword, Falchion and the Fire Emblem. Only when these are united in
Marth's hands will he be able to confront the dark pontifex Gharnef,
avenge the murder of his father and kidnap of his sister, destroy
Medeus once and for all and win back the kingdom of Altea.
Turn-based gameplay challenges the player's strategic thinking, with
the nature of the terrain, the strength of enemy forces and the
positioning of your own units all needing careful consideration.
The NintendoDS's Touch Screen enables quick placement of units and
the game boasts polished graphics that make the best use of the
NintendoDS system.
A wide range of characters, with unique powers and integrated
storylines, adds depth to the game, which features a range of new
side stories and several difficulty levels to suit newcomers and
seasoned strategists. Using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, players
can battle over the internet or against one another in the same
room, using their own characters - with their own special skills and
experience. These battles can be enjoyed even more by using the Mic
Chat feature during battle. Playing over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection
also offers access to a special armoury shop where players can buy
special items that allow them to gain a new class of character and
also sell weapons to make money. Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection also
enables players to loan their battle-seasoned units to other players
in order to provide a boost to that player's forces. Additional
units can be uploaded to a server and also borrowed from the server
or from a friend by exchanging Friend Codes. |
