Stop me if you've heard this one before. Nintendo's released a game with a glitch and is going to replace copies already sold with new ones. If that sounds familiar you probably remember the game ending glitch in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Although this isn't quite as bad it poses a problem for those who wish to import data from their Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance save files.
The way it works is you can import your save file from Path of Radiance if you have a GameCube memory card inserted with the save file of a completed game and then stat boots and other such things. The problem is that the game won't accept files that have the difficulty set to easy. You can't even transfer over a normal or hard save file if there's a single easy file on the memory card.
Of course this is easy to work around and it's not like it would keep you from progressing through the game or playing it normally. Just either delete your easy file if you have a normal or hard one you want to send in, or copy it to another card. If however, you only have easy files on your card there is a way for you to eventually get in on what is more or less a built-in cheating feature.
Just like with Twilight Princess discs, Nintendo is offering to replace these buggy copies of Fire Emblem for free by mid-December. All you need to do is get in touch with Nintendo about the issue and leave them your name, address, and phone number, and then send your broken disc to them when asked for it. So you can either wait a month to play the game, or just suck it up and play through it like normal people do; starting at level 1.
Of course this would all be much easier if Nintendo could simply put a patch up on the internet for Fire Emblem owners to download to their Wiis. Really makes you wish there was a hard drive to hold such patches now doesn't it?
