Fire Emblem is not a new series, and in fact the Fire Emblem franchise has enjoyed a healthy life in Japan for several years across the many Nintendo systems. But it's only now that Nintendo has chosen to give the series a chance outside of its Japanese roots. And after playing the Game Boy Advance title released for the first time in North America, I have this to say: what the hell took so long? The game, a turn-based strategy game designed by the same group of folks that brought the Advance Wars franchise to the GBA system, is an excellent mixture of RPG and adventure elements in a wonderfully told fantasy tale, and it's decidedly different from the past two strategy games already available from the developer. It's definitely one of, if not the most elaborate game developments on the handheld released this year, and it could definitely change the minds of those who don't favor that growingly popular "strategy" thing.
