One of the mythical sagas of Nintendo will be thirty years old in December since the launch of its first title. We are referring to Fire Emblem , one of the role-playing games most valued by millions of players around the world. Now Nintendo celebrates it by announcing what will be the anniversary edition for Nintendo Switch with the intention of re-engaging the most nostalgic and all those who could not play it in its day.
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light
Nintendo has surprised many with the announcement of a new title that will arrive on its portable console at the beginning of December and that, if you are interested in this, it can only be purchased through the Nintendo eShop for a limited time.
To be more exact, from December 4 to March 31, 2021. That will be the time you will have to get your copy of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade og Light for Nintendo Switch through the Nintendo eShop at a price of $ 5.99 .
The price as such is not bad at all, it is true that it is the same 8-bit game that you can play through one of the many emulators for Nintendo consoles that exist. Although doing it on the Nintendo Switch has its special appeal, because of the portability it offers and the comfort when playing on a screen that looks pretty good.
In addition, although it is not any type of special adaptation, some functions will be added that today are normal in many current games. Like, for example, the ability to fast forward or rewind and save the game status at any time.
So it’s not bad at all, at least they have not passed as they did with the three titles with which they are celebrating the 35th anniversary of Super Mario . Games that we recently learned are the original ROMs running on a Nintendo Switch emulator. So there are each and every one of the successes and failures of the original games. That is worth it, it will have its point, but it is also true that it does not justify the price they ask for getting the games.

So, if you want something more because you consider yourself a super fan of the saga, there will be a collector’s edition that will cost $ 49.99 and will include additional content that will surely attract you.
