The special edition comes with everything seen here, on sale in December. Prices not yet announced. Nintendo's latest surprise announcement hinges on a different anniversary than the usual mascots like Mario, Link, and Pikachu: it's for Fire Emblem, the turn-based strategy series that launched exclusively in Japan in 1990. To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the game's first 8-bit adventure is getting the re-release treatment, either as a basic digital version or with a deluxe, physical collection of booklets, maps, and more. But there's a funny thing about Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & The Blade of Light.
