About

A reinvention of the original NES titles with revamped graphics and intuitive touch control, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon will finally introduce longtime fans to the stories that gave birth to the series nearly 20 years ago in Japan, while introducing the Fire Emblem franchise to a broader audience of strategy and chess fans. Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon also reveals the back story of Marth, the original lead character in the Fire Emblem series introduced and made popular in North America by the Super Smash Bros. series of fighting games.

Storyline

In ancient times, the fearsome Shadow Dragon Medeus held the continent of Archanea in a grip of terror, until a courageous young man named Anri rose up, wielding the divine sword Falchion and the mystical Fire Emblem shield to strike the dragon down and restore peace. A century later, that hard-won peace is shattered when the wicked sorcerer Gharnef resurrects Medeus, who swiftly rebuilds his dark empire and reclaims his former lands. The peaceful kingdom of Altea, ancestral home of Anri and birthplace of the young prince Marth, falls under assault by Gharnef's invading forces, driving Marth into exile in the neighboring kingdom of Talys. Years later, joined by the king's daughter Caeda and a loyal band of soldiers, Marth sets out to reclaim his fallen homeland and once again defeat the Shadow Dragon.
