IGN gets their hands on the new Fire Emblem title that's out in Japan.
This newest Fire Emblem installment is a remake of the NES game that stars Marth from Super Smash Bros Melee/Brawl, dubbed Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragons and the Blade of Light (Jap-to-Eng subtitle translation).

This remake has a slew of new features, including Wifi-play (a first in the series), new sidequests, weapons, characters, and more.

Of course both screens are utilized in the title. The bottom screen displays the character sprites on top of the world map. You control your units with the touch screen and can order them whether to attack, use an item, wait, etc. The top screen displays the characters' stats, cutscenes, and the battles between units. The character portraits and cutscenes look pleasing enough, however the battle animations do leave a little to be desired. Still, this looks to be a very promising game and needs to be translated and ported to the US and other regions ASAP, but that will take awhile I'm guessing.

Scope the content reference link to see screens of the title.
