For $9.99, you can grab a copy of this for yourself. This game is a neat treat, as for those who don’t know, it’s a remake of the very first Fire Emblem game, but improved greatly for the Nintendo DS. Sadly, the Wi-Fi Battle system introduced for the franchise starting with this game is not an available feature, but the game itself is still a fun experience to enjoy.

From 2nd September 2015, Fire Emblem: Binding Blade will be available from the Japanese Wii U Virtual Console.

Binding Blade is notable for being the first game in the series not developed by series creator Shouzou Kaga (who left to form his own company) and the first portable Fire Emblem.

As it happens, it’s also the first Fire Emblem game I played and the game that made me fall in love with the series. (So in a sense, you can thank this game for Serenes Forest’s existence…)

This title is notable for being Intelligent System’s first proper attempt at telling two parallel stories in the same game, long before Fates. Although, in reality, the story only branched out for 7 chapters before converging again.
