Fire Emblem fans must be fidgeting a bit too much these days, given the lack of details surrounding the upcoming DS instalment (lovingly tagged as New Dark Dragon and the Sword of Light). They want their turn at turn-based strategy, and are right to demand it. Advance Wars isn't enough! Settle on down, we have a hot new tidbit of information ready to satiate those hungers for fire! And emblems.As a remake of the original NES Fire Emblem way back when, what's the most obvious option for developing a fancy new version in this day and age? You guessed it -- online play! No longer will strategists be forced to sit close by and trade blows. The game will utilize Nintendo's Wi-Fi connection, with players choosing five of their best units from the single-player campaign and pitting them against a real life opponent. This is the first time online multiplayer has been introduced to the Fire Emblem series on any console, so progress is on the cards at Intelligent Systems.

Despite the initial surge of excitement, i've always found the thrill of Fire Emblem to be deliberating about a move for five or ten minutes before coming up with a winning plan, like chess
I don't know how they're going to create that kind of environment, but since neither player would have time to think it through, i suppose it would even out
Color me excited

Will it be the same type of versus match as in previous games (Link arena) or actual maps? I'm hoping for maps.
