Some games in that subscription are also special releases, like Star Fox 2 or remixed versions of Metroid and The Legend of Zelda, so it’s not like Shadow Dragon wouldn’t fit. It’s also curious that Nintendo treats this NES game as its own $5.99 release, instead of including it with the other NES games that come with a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. However, arbitrarily delisting a digital version of a game continues to make no sense, and I hope there will still be a way to buy this game in the future. I can understand only making a limited number of the fancy physical special editions, complete with a replica NES cartridge and fake alternative universe Nintendo Power magazine. Also like Super Mario 3D All-Stars, for whatever inexplicable reason, Nintendo plans to stop selling Shadow Dragon at the end of March 2021. The game first launched in Japan in 1990. Much like Super Mario 3D All-Stars, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light’s re-release celebrates an anniversary. Don’t let this raise your hopes for Mother 3. For another comparison, Nintendo released the original NES Mother game in America for the first time as EarthBound Beginnings in 2015, but that game was already translated in its day before being shelved. Shadow Dragon actually received a complete Nintendo DS remake a decade ago that did launch in America, but having not played that game I can’t say how closely the two scripts compare. I understand why Caeda, Navarre, Tiki, and other co-stars became popular fan favorites, and why Marth himself is a hero king of legend to this day. Despite the game’s 8-bit origins, the script still features the character and charm you expect from Nintendo’s localization. You simply save your home kingdom from an evil dragon.
FIRE EMBLEM EMULATOR COMPLETED CAMPAIGN FULL
Shadow Dragon receives a full English translation for this Switch re-release, but the NES game’s limitations mean the story can’t be as lavish as more recent entries. So, even though the franchise now regularly releases in the West, that still leaves us with six games as total question marks, including the original adventure of its inaugural hero, Marth. In fact, the first Fire Emblem game that came to America in 2003 was actually the series' seventh game. Melee, and were utterly baffled by these foreign Japanese characters. Nintendo’s first trailer for Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light captures many American players’ first experience with Fire Emblem: They played as Marth or Roy in Super Smash Bros. This is a vintage NES game, not a modern Nintendo Switch game, but Fire Emblem’s debut is strong enough to satisfy old-school collectors and contemporary players, alike. Finally, Americans can purchase an official English version of the game that kicked off the beloved strategy-RPG series. Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light is presumably the last, and arguably the most fascinating, of Nintendo’s retro offerings for the year.
From Mario to Pikmin to Xenoblade, Nintendo spent much of 2020 filling its newest system with old games.
