The month before E3 tends to be the start of the gaming news trickle, and 2010  appears to be no different.  It has been announced that the DS will be getting another Fire Emblem, to go along with Shadow Dragon, which hit the States last year. Like Shadow Dragon, the story follows the popular Marth character that we all know so well from Smash Brothers, and like Shadow Dragon, the original release of this game (back in 94 on the SNES) was a Japan-Only release. No gameplay is shown in the trailer, but I don't think we can expect much to change :P
 
  

Good news for fans of the series.

I love FE but I missed the last installment..was it any good?

I love Fire Emblem. It's grown on me so much. I'm just starting Shadow Dragon, and while I like how it's simplified the core game down but still made it serviceable for this day and age, the new sprites are terrible! The character portraits are great but the sprites! Agh, they're terrible. Battle animations for the GBA games were ridiculously awesome, but these are just pretty eh.
 
Enough of my off-topic ranting-any Fire Emblem is good Fire Emblem. Looking forward to it.

" @luce: It was decent, despite some entirely questionable design choices. (i.e. Gaiden chapters requiring you to do poorly, the entire class swap feature, the art style kinda sucks). It's not the best game in the series by any means, but it's not the worst either. It's worth getting.  As for this game, it makes sense that they would do book 2 of FE3, being a direct sequel to the first game, but as someone who staunchly believes that Fire Emblem didn't become great until Seisen no Keifu (yes, that game that Video Game King is always citing), it's a bit of a bummer to see them not going for the best stuff first. Or, y'know, they could make an entirely new game. "

Oh good, now I have another chance to actually get into the series... right?

I suppose, though you've had ample opportunity already -_- "

nice, another fire emblem. my favorite will always be the beastly hector tho.

I thought the story was alright for Shadow Dragon but the lack of support conversations made me not as attached to the characters as the gba games. It was the first fire emblem where i felt fine to let a dude die. I suspect this new one will be the same.

While I am always open to a new Fire Emblem game, does anyone else prefer the mechanics of Sacred Stones over Shadow Dragon? 
I mean, this game better have support, and not reward the player for killing off their characters.

i hope they get rid of the swap what class the person is... its to complicated :P i liked the real old ones on the gba. (my 1st or 2nd most played game... its tied with gold version.)

As long as I don't hafta start every single fight over cause of cheap deaths from enemies that appear behind me 20 minutes into a battle, count me in :D

From the looks of it, it's going to be the remake of Book 2, the second half of FE3.  Shadow Dragon was FE1 as well as Book 1 of FE3.
 
And yes, bring back support convos please.  Its implementation in Geneology of Holy War as well as the two GBA games was a huge boon to the quality of the game.  As good as Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn were, the lack of a support system was greatly missed by me.

Actually, what I'm really curious about is what they'll add to the game's story.  When they made Monsho no Nazo, the story of the original game was actually condensed and they removed a number of stages and characters.  They'll probably have a lot of room to flesh things out this time around if the remake is purely going to be the events of Book 2.

The only two Fire Emblem games I beat were Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn. "I like Ike!"

Another rehashed import? Give me a break. The last good Fire Emblem game was Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn wasn't that great (the import your saved game feature was total letdown) and Shadow Dragon was a poorly and questioningly designed remake of a game that never should've made it to the U.S.  
 
You know what would sell? A remake of FE6 released in the U.S. You know, the one with Roy, it actually had a good story, sprites, and gameplay. Everybody wants the Roy one after Super Smash Brothers Melee I'm sure, and since we got Marth, I'm sure Roy is a very suitable character to come to the U.S.
