Since Fire Emblem is a game with extremely high replay value with a strong hardcore following of perfectionist gamers, you can expect a lot of time to be spent (especially if you're re-setting to save a character), and a few graphical and audio improvements will make the experience much more enjoyable.

And enjoying the Fire Emblem experience is what it's all about. In achieving this, the single most important thing Nintendo and Intelligent Systems can give us is a great multiplayer and online experience.

Imagine battling armies against each other - you assemble your army with a handpicked assortment of units, explore the map, fighting the fog of war and gaining terrain advantages to outwit and rapier your online/WiFi foes. Rounds can be timed so that laggerts won't ruin the game. Fire Emblem veterans have long been salivating over the prospect of battling live opponents, and the Nintendo DS is the platform that will make it a reality.
