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:
“If you complain of people being shot down in the streets, of the absence of communication or social responsibility, of the rise of everyday violence which people have become accustomed to, and the dehumanization of feelings, then the ultimate development on an organized social level is the concentration camp.... The concentration camp is the final expression of human separateness and its ultimate consequence. It is organized abandonment.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“Ultimately, it is the receiving of the child and hearing what he or she has to say that develops the child’s mind and personhood.... Parents who enter into a dialogue with their children, who draw out and respect their opinions, are more likely to have children whose intellectual and ethical development proceeds rapidly and surely.”
—Mary Field Belenky (20th century)
“The American has dwindled into an Odd Fellow—one who may be known by the development of his organ of gregariousness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
