Fire Emblem: Simplicity equals victory

Considering that since time immemorial (1990 to be specific), Fire Emblem has been wielded by the likes of the Famicom, Super Famicom, Game Boy Advance, and the GameCube, we were beginning to wonder just how Nintendo was planning to Wii-fy its premier strategy game. Nintendo’s answer: Try all the said formats.

As seen above, the title does away with the fancy movements that are slowly becoming a staple for games like Budokai Tenkaichi and Bleach, and has opted for a bare-bones basic approach. Players only have to pay attention to three designated buttons, as they always have in its past titles. Consider this a confirmation of past speculation on just what control sets are needed for the game, come its February 22 launch in Japan.
