Development
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon is a remake of the Famicom (known in the Western world as the Nintendo Entertainment System, or NES for short) video game Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi, the original game in the Fire Emblem series. It is the first Nintendo DS video game in the series, three years after the debut of the DS. Producer Toru Narihiro attributes this to the team being preoccupied by the Nintendo GameCube and Wii titles, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, up until Shadow Dragon. He also explains that they chose to remake Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Ken due to it being the 25th anniversary of the Famicom. Narihiro wanted to draw from the script as much as he could, attempting to shy away from the increased volume of content and script lines of recent titles in the series. Unlike Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Ken, a mid-battle save point feature was included to make the game easier for beginning players. Another attempt to improve the game for beginning players was to allow them to change the classes of their characters, allowing them to recover from losing defensive characters such as knights by converting another character into a knight.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“As a final instance of the force of limitations in the development of concentration, I must mention that beautiful creature, Helen Keller, whom I have known for these many years. I am filled with wonder of her knowledge, acquired because shut out from all distraction. If I could have been deaf, dumb, and blind I also might have arrived at something.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Other nations have tried to check ... the fulfillment of our manifest destiny to overspread the continent allotted by Providence for the free development of our yearly multiplying millions.”
—John Louis O’Sullivan (1813–1895)
“I hope I may claim in the present work to have made it probable that the laws of arithmetic are analytic judgments and consequently a priori. Arithmetic thus becomes simply a development of logic, and every proposition of arithmetic a law of logic, albeit a derivative one. To apply arithmetic in the physical sciences is to bring logic to bear on observed facts; calculation becomes deduction.”
—Gottlob Frege (1848–1925)
