Fire Emblem Echoes Announced for 3DS

In a surprise move by Nintendo, a new game in the Fire Emblem series for Nintendo 3DS, titled Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.

This game is a remake of Fire Emblem Gaiden, the second game in the series released only in Japan. Here’s a brief synopsis, via Nintendo:

Every aspect of the Fire Emblem Gaiden game’s presentation has been updated, along with the game being fully voiced. Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia recreates classic Fire Emblem gameplay with a modern twist, mixing in exploration of dungeons crawling with enemies.

Characters from the game, Alm and Celica, will be available as amiibo figures in a two-pack, also on May 19.

The game releases May 19th, along with a two pack of Amiibo of the game’s protagonists.
