A Wii Bit of Fire Emblem

So it turns out that the flames of war will ignite on Nintendo's next-generation console, after all.

Even though Nintendo is heavily promoting new types of gameplay with its Wii console, the company has not forgotten about hardcore gamers who still love classic-styled gameplay. An example of this is the brief (but oh so tasty!) footage of Fire Emblem for Wii.

Though there were no specific details, the clip gave us a glimpse of two characters -- a thief and a sage -- as they battle against their enemies, showcasing some of the most beautiful and artistic FMV we've ever seen. The thief looks remarkably similar to Sothe -- a character from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance -- which suggests that the upcoming Wii version may be in fact, a direct sequel to the GameCube title, and that this underdeveloped character will be the protagonist of the upcoming adventure.

No other details have surfaced, but at least we know that the Fire Emblem franchise is indeed coming to Nintendo’s next-generation console, and guess what? We couldn’t be happier.

Radiant Writing

So here I am, waiting for Nintendo to unveil many secrets on its press conference tomorrow morning (mind you, some are "secrets" for ordinary people, not us -- the cool press who know all, tee-hee!) and the only thing on my mind is: "Will Nintendo have a Fire Emblem game at the show?". I know, sad, and kind of expected, but I'd love to see the next-gen (or dual-screened) iteration of the fantastic franchise.

Anyway, I also figured out that I never go to post my wonderful Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance coverage -- yeah, the one I did back when the game was released. I figured: "So what?" and decided that I was going to post it, so that anyone who doesn't have the game (and why the heck don't you!?) will know why I am so infatuated by it.
