The Mind is Mightier than the Sword in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon for Nintendo DS

Create Powerful Armies and Direct them to Victory as Acclaimed Strategy Series Debuts on Nintendo DS

REDMOND, Wash., Feb. 16, 2009 – Nintendo DS™ system owners take note – the next game to engage your brain has arrived: Fire Emblem™: Shadow Dragon. A unique strategy adventure, the game grants players full control over a powerful fighting force in a captivating fantasy setting, putting virtual tacticians to the test as they implement creative battle strategies, improve the skills of their warriors and outthink their opponents on the way to glory and victory.

The Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon video game lets players alternate turns with opponents, moving their units to attack enemies on the battlefield and advance to more advantageous locations. There are dozens of units with different weapons and magic spells to wield, each with their own strategic benefits: high-flying Pegasus Knights move effortlessly over varied terrain, Archers can attack from a distance with their bows and arrows, and unarmed Curates use healing staves to help the wounded. Using Nintendo Wi-Fi® Connection and local wireless play modes, players can now test their skills against opponents, borrow units from others to use in their armies, talk with friends using the built-in Nintendo DS microphone and even use in-game currency to buy rare and powerful items from the Online Shop.

What do you guys think the surprise could be?  I thought about it for awhile and couldn’t think of much.  ‘A bunch of birthday greetings’ makes me think it will be some VC games that have anniversaries coming up maybe?  It also mentions Arizona, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania–but I don’t know what those have in common.  Any ideas?
