− | + | Fire Emblem is a series of strategy games made by [[Intelligent Systems]]. Gameplay-wise, the series is similar to Intelligent Systems' older strategy series, [[Portal: Famicom Wars|Famicom Wars]]. Unlike Famicom Wars, which uses contemporary vehicles and weapons, the Fire Emblem takes place in a medival setting with characters like swordsmen, knights, mages and dragons. Like Famicom Wars, Fire Emblem was only released in Japan until the games finally started being released in America and other countries starting in 2003. Unlike most other Turn-based RPG's when a character dies, they are gone for good. | |

The series continued with releases on the NES and then the [[Super Nintendo]], with the last Fire Emblem game for the Super Nintendo being released in 1999. Intelligent Systems was not ready to work on 3-D games yet, so Fire Emblem games were then released on the [[Gameboy Advance]] rather then the [[Nintendo 64]] or [[Nintendo Gamecube]]. |
− | + | In 2001, the characters [[Marth]] and [[Roy]] appeared as unlockable characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' to promote the then-upcoming release of ''[[Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi]]'' for the Gameboy Advance. Although they were going to be dropped from the American version due to not being familiar with American players, but it was ultimately decided to let them remain in the game. The appearance of these characters ultimately served to pique interest in the Fire Emblem series outside of Japan. In the same year, [[Advance Wars]] was released outside Japan and sold well. | |
− | + | These events led to Fire Emblem series starting to be released outside Japan. This started with the seventh Fire Emblem game, which was simply dubbed ''[[Fire Emblem (game)|Fire Emblem]]''. The game was designed to drawn in new gamers, with various tutorials in the game's first ten chapters. However, the previous six Fire Emblem games (including the games featuring the popular Marth and Roy) have yet to be released outside of Japan. | |
− | + | In 2005, the first 3-D Fire Emblem game, ''[[Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance]]'' was released for the Gamecube. It was followed by ''[[Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn]]'' for the [[Nintendo Wii]]. An expanded remake of the original game was also released for the [[Nintendo DS]] as ''[[Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon]]'', which marks the first game starring Marth to be released in America. Intelligent Systems followed this up in 2010 with a remake of the second book from ''Fire Emblem 3'', ''[[Fire Emblem: Shin Monshou no Nazo: Hikari to Kage no Eiyuu]]''. This game including a new secondary storyline with new characters as well as the characters that had been created for the previous remakes. It also added downloadable content which had original stages well as the ''BS Fire Emblem'' stages. However, likely due to a combination of ''Shadow Dragon'''s poor reception and the DS dying down in favor of the [[Nintendo 3DS]], an international release was passed over for the first time since ''Fire Emblem''. | |
− | + | A new ''Fire Emblem'' was announced for release in 2012 on the 3DS, known as ''[[Fire Emblem: Kakusei]]''. This game features a new continuity and art style. An American release has yet to be announced, but it has been confirmed to be coming to Europe. | |
