VC Friday: Thursday edition [Update 1]

And the Nintendo of Europe site leaks another morsel of info! Not long ago, news of Nintendo selling music appeared in our RSS feed weeks early, only to lead to a dead link after it was hastily pulled by Nintendo. And now another slippage has occurred, with Nintendo accidentally revealing (what we suspect are the contents of) tomorrow's PAL Virtual Console update: Earthworm Jim and Shining Force II.

Once again, the news appears in our RSS feed (as seen here) while the story itself has been yanked from Ninty's site. All being well then, tomorrow's VC update for Europe and Australia should read something like this:
These aren't set in stone yet, so we'll label this as a rumor, but it looks likely. Also: "Hurray!" for both of these.

Update: And it's confirmed: those are your titles for this week, PAL people! [Thanks, Lanceh!]

Fire Emblem arriving 386 Dawns late in Europe

When it comes to game delays in PAL regions, there are delays and then there are DELAYS. Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, in case you didn't realize, falls squarely in the latter category. Japan received Intelligent Systems' strategy title back in February 2007, which is not much more than a faint dot in our memories. Almost one year later, and Europe is still waiting, while Australia will have to put its feet up until April.

Remarkably, there's been a breakthrough on a European date, with Nintendo confirming that the game will ship in the region on March 14th, a.k.a thirteen months after Japan.

Fire Emblem date finally confirmed for Australia

If you live in Australia, the chances are high that you haven't had the pleasure of playing the Wii's year-old Fire Emblem game, Radiant Dawn. Released last year in Japan and last November in North America, Radiant Dawn will finally be heading down under.

According to Nintendo Australia's website, Aussies can expect to get the title on April 10th. Unfortunately, there's still no word on a European date. We're hoping that translating the game into an additional few languages won't hold it up for too long, and that Europeans can enjoy the title around the same time as Australians. We'll let you know when we hear something tangible, though.

Wii Fanboy Review: Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

Posted Dec 7th 2007 2:15PM by Candace Savino

When it comes to RPG franchises, a new entry in a series often introduces a different storyline with different characters, effectively providing a clean slate for the player. While Fire Emblem normally follows this tried and true formula, the creators decided to shake things up and make Radiant Dawn a direct sequel to the game that came before it, Path of Radiance.

Whenever a sequel to a game comes out, it's important to know whether the game can stand on its own or if newcomers will be completely lost without playing the previous title. In the case of Radiant Dawn, however, this concern can't be fully answered in simple one-word terms.
