Fire Emblem Mystery of the Emblem - Super Nintendo - Intro & Book 1 Chapter 1 [HD 1080p60]
20It has been a while since Randomised Gaming has showcased any RPGs and with us playing various Fire Emblem titles over the Christmas period well why not. This is a video from Fire Emblem Mystery of the Emblem which was the third game in the series and the first on the SNES. It also gets the title of the first remake in the series as the game contains two story campaigns which you can choose from. The first is a remake of the original NES Fire Emblem The Dragon of Darkness and the Sword of Light known in the western remake title as Shadow Dragon. As it's a remake there were a number of changes made some characters were added others were removed, the game was also shorted slightly with some maps removed. The second campaign is called War of Heroes and is the new campaign for Fire Emblem 3, taking place two years after the first game. For the time it was one of the largest Fire Emblems made as it contained two game in one with a combined total of over forty maps.
This first video show the opening mission from the remastered Shadow Dragon campaign on SNES. Fire Emblem is not a fast paced game, but this gives you good idea of how the game plays. Long term fans will noticed some key elements of the later game are missing in this title, still if you love the genre this is an excellent title to invest in. Both campaigns were later remade on the Nintendo DS, as separate games only Shadow Dragon got a western release. Fire Emblem Mystery of the Emblem has never been released in English.
