At a news conference earlier today, the big N made an announcement that for the past couple of years seemed like an inevitability: the Fire Emblem series of strategy RPGs will have an incarnation on the Nintendo DS. No additional info was provided with that announcement, not even a title or screen; just the knowledge that the long-running series will be on the world's most popular handheld in the future.

This link says otherwise

From the pictures I am 97% sure that this is an FE3 remake. Anyone who's played FE3 will remember Marth, Sheeda, and other little things like that pic of the Peg. Knight (aka Sheeda) fighting the thief. Awesome awesome AWESOME. I really want a DS. wub.gif

Ah, my mistake. Shame on me for trusting Kotaku instead of doing some more background research (after some cross-checking, it's definitely Marth and Sheeda in those screenshots, but it's unclear if it's a remake of the original Fire Emblem, or a remake of Moshou no Nazo (my guess is the second, same as Barry mentioned). What we do know is that it's going to have some kind of online component. Interesting....

Oh, and for interested parties, Mario Kart is going Wii. And there are motorcycles. Sorry if it's already been posted elsewhere.
