Fire Emblem: Ankokuryū to Hikari no Ken (Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light) is coming to the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console on August 1st for 500 yen. The title, which is the first in the Fire Emblem series was originally released in 1990 for the Famicom. The game has been remade a few different times, including a Japan only release for the Super Famicom titled Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo (Mystery of the Emblem) in 1994. It was also remade for the Nintendo DS and released in English speaking territories as Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon in 2008 and 2009 in Europe and North America respectively.

I wish Nintendo would translate all the Fire Emblems we missed out on in the west. It is hands down my favourite Nintendo franchise (along with Star Fox). Seeing as we missed out on the second DS game I doubt it is likely sadly.
