Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon, called Shining Force: Kuroki Ryuu no Fukkatsu (シャイニング･フォース 黒き竜の復活) in Japan, is a remake of the Sega Mega Drive game Shining Force: The Legacy of Great Intention, and was released for the Game Boy Advance in 2004.

Gameplay

Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon is an update over the original Mega Drive Shining Force. At its core the two are the same game, however this Game Boy Advance version replaces the vast majority of graphics and features re-translated dialogue.
