Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem

released on Jul 15, 2010

Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem is a remake of Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo. It is the second Fire Emblem remake for the Nintendo DS. It was released on July 15, 2010 in Japan. The game utilizes the Wi-Fi Connection in a similar manner to Shadow Dragon. This is the only Fire Emblem DS game to not be released overseas. The game also contains an exclusive mode which remakes the four chapters of BS Fire Emblem: Archanea Senki Hen, a Satellaview exclusive game, with new new engine and mission-based gameplay (instead of time-based, like the original), but lacking the voice acting that the Satellaview version originally provided.

A remake of Fire Emblem 3. People don't like the story in this one, but like its immediate predecessor, Shadow Dragon, the gameplay is great. It's a pretty cool port too. They reintroduce all the characters the SNES original had to cut for space, they adapted the Satellaview Broadcast Fire Emblem maps, and they added a couple stand-alone story maps to flesh out some of the more plot important characters.
Some complaints though. The new maps for the original characters are a little annoying, and the final chapter has four (sort of) forced deployment slots in addition to Marth, which restricts the potential team you can take to the final chapter. The second issue is present in the SNES original though.

A fun game. Better maps and more variety than its prequel. Held back a lot by the obnoxious avatar that inserts themselves everywhere.

Liked this a lot more than I expected. Love the story and the large cast of characters to use.

Nobody remembers how bad the original fan translation was for this game.

But I do. I'll never forget that arrow to the knee joke as long as Iive.

This is probably the hardest Fire emblem experience you can get in vanilla games that isn't bullshit (looking at awakening lunatic+).
Lunatic reverse is such a satisfying challenge to face. The game always puts you in a difficult spot and it just makes you feel good when you're done dealing with its bullshit. Managing to get every side objective and keeping every character alive makes you feel like you completely dominated the game and I love it.
Overall solid but I don't think I'd replay it on lunatic reverse if I had to ever revisit.
