Jump back to the 90s with the Fire Emblem 30th Anniversary Edition, while supplies last

Get your hands on the Anniversary Edition, available in limited quantities, for a Fire Emblem™ history lesson! This includes a replica NES™ Game Pak art piece, a replica game box with a localized version of the original Famicom instruction manual, protective sleeve and world map, a Mini Nintendo Power retro collectible, hardbound 222 page Legacy of Archanea deluxe art book, and game download code.

Follow Marth on the journey that started it all! From defending the kingdom of Talys to facing off against the titular Shadow Dragon, the humble hero himself must be poised to take on any challenge. Luckily, he has a capable group of allies at his side: Tiki, Minerva, the Whitewing Sisters, and more! Of course, Caeda, princess of Talys, makes her appearance as a skilled fighter and Marth’s love interest.

In the Fire Emblem™: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light game, guide Marth to seize the throne in each chapter, while keeping him out of harm’s way. If Marth dies, it’s game over…but all other characters will be gone for the rest of the game, if they fall in battle. Make a mistake and lose a favorite unit? In this release of the game there is a rewind feature, so you can try again and change the course of battle.

With save states, you can save any time and jump back in right where you left off. There’s even a fast forward feature if you’d like to breeze through dialogue or combat animations. Whether you take advantage of these modern comforts or stick with the old school approach, now’s your chance to experience the origin of the Fire Emblem series.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and the Fire Emblem 30th Anniversary Edition will only be available for a limited time.
