Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones Available Now On Wii U Virtual Console
Alongside the surprise announcement of Earthbound Beginnings last week, the Wii U Virtual Console got another classic game with Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.
The Sacred Stones released in 2005 for Game Boy Advance and joins the 2003 Game Boy Advance titled simply Fire Emblem, which released for Wii U Virtual Console back in December.

Our Take
Still surprised these games don't get simultaneous release on 3DS. Fire Emblem, especially, is perfectly suited for playing on handheld, evidenced by its original release platform.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
