Dark days are rising…
War has engulfed the land of Tellius, where human beorc and half-human laguz view each other with mistrust. When a surprise invasion triggers a worldwide conflict, a sinister force emerges from the shadows and pits the two against one another. Only a young mercenary named Ike and his small band of soldiers-for-hire stand between Tellius and madness.
- Command new units and familiar favorites, including shape-shifting laguz and spear-wielding wyvern riders, in lush 3-D battles.
- Master strategy, steel, and sorcery to guide Ike and his forces to victory and restore peace to the seven kingdoms.
- Customize your units with combat skills like Deadeye, but guide them carefully—if they fall in battle, they’re gone forever!

Aw hell yeah. That and the GC Zeldas are what I was waiting for.
The biggest unannounced titles seem to be
Twilight Princess, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Metroid Prime 2, and the Mario Party and Mario Sports titles. Other games are possible, but that would be plenty. Especially since there are surely unannounced third-party games on the way.
great addition, still want eternal darkness and star fox adventures
We like Ike! (mostly from Smash Bros though)
In the likely case Wii comes to Switch 2's NSO we should get Radiant Dawn, and you should be able to transfer your NSO save data to Radiant Dawn like you could on physical memory cards.
I can finally check another one off the list of my GCN games that require me to have my Wii ready to go in case I ever need it. I have an old 720p TV with RCA ports for that reason collecting dust somewhere, lol.
I was thinking about selling my physical copy of this game. But I guess that the price will plummet now. Good that more people get to enjoy this game. It takes a respectable third place for me in the series behind the first two GBA fire emblems. Great game
Hey, don't show a blue-haired guy holding a sword like that... For a moment, I thought it was a new Breath of Fire game...
