Surprise! Nintendo is finally releasing the original Fire Emblem in the U.S. via a Switch port that comes out on December 4.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light came out for the Famicom (the Japanese version of the NES) in 1990. The franchise remained exclusive to Japan until Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade (just called Fire Emblem in the U.S.) released for the Game Boy Advance in 2003.
