Compound this with the game's comparatively minuscule print run, and by the time The New '20s rolled around, more than a decade later, availability of the game in its original format had begun to be a bit of a crisis. Moreover, as time goes on the more acute problem is that, since the game has never been re-released, simple attrition and the ravages of time are steadily decreasing the number of "legitimate" discs in overall circulation, never mind collector's markets, making it even harder for new or young users who got into the franchise via Three Houses or such to get their hands on the game at all without resorting to outright piracy.And if you want to play Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn on the same system, using the Wii U's backward compatibility is out of the question due to it being unable to play GameCube games. Compounding this is that the game has, to date, not been re-issued in any format while Wiis are hardly uncommon, you still need appropriate hardware if you want to play the game (and are unwilling or unable to resort to emulation).and Fire Emblem: Awakening made Fire Emblem more popular, and after Fire Emblem Heroes gave the Tellius crew a much greater amount of exposure, interest in the game increased to such a degree that even authentic good-condition discs by themselves can creep up toward $100USD. This game has the second-smallest print run, total, of any Fire Emblem in history, with only Thracia 776 having a smaller original run (and no English-language run), and BS Archanea not really tallying.Thanks to the magic of hacking Path of Radiance and examining unused files and dummy data, many saw these coming a mile away, although Ranulf spoils the former in Radiant Dawn for those who didn't.
