The latest issue of Nintendo Power revealed more about Intelligent Systems’ first game in the strategy RPG series for Wii. Fire Emblem: The Goddess of Dawn is only the Japanese name, the US name will be changed. Sadly no release date is set outside of the Japanese release on February 22nd. They did give new details about the story:
The game is a direct sequel to Path of Radiance, as the story takes place three years after the fierce war between Crimea and Daein. Game begins in Daein, and follows a small band of freedom fighters who oppose the nation of Begnion. The cast are different than Path of Radiance, except Sothe, who along with his sister will journey across Tellius and beyond recruiting new party members from the Beorc and Laguz. New obstacles include “multilevel battlefieldsâ€.
Last week’s Japanese Famitsu magazine writes the new Fire Emblem will feature a total of 44 chapters (Path of Radiance for GameCube had 28) with three new weapon and magic types. In addition, character height differences and geography will affect gameplay. Goddess of Dawn will utilize the Path of Radiance engine with more cinematic scenes and improved character models.
While it’s not yet known how the game will use the Wii Remote, Famitsu did confirmed that it can be played with the Wii Remote and Nunchuck combination, Classic controller or GameCube controller. — Quotes from CRev & Wiire.
