'''Fire Emblem Gaiden''' is the second game in the [[Portal: Fire Emblem|Fire Emblem series]] and the last Fire Emblem game on the NES. Like ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'' did for the ''Zelda'' series, ''Gaiden'' features gameplay changes that would be left out of future ''Fire Emblem'' games.

=Story=

Set in the same continuity as [[Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi|the previous game]] but on the continent of Valentia, the story follows lifelong [[Alm]] and [[Celica]] as they attempt to amass an army to defend the kingdom of Sofia from the invading forces of Rigel and its dark god [[Duma]].

=Gameplay=

The basic gameplay is similar to that of the previous game, but with new additions. One was a world map that could be explored as well as towns instead of immediately proceeding to the next chapter. The game also added branching promotions for characters in certain classes. Characters also can learn spells through leveling up, but these spells will drain from the character's health.

=Legacy=

Several of the game's features that were dropped in later installments, such as the branching class promotions and a world map that can be explored, were later used in the game ''[[Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones]]'' as well as in ''[[Fire Emblem Awakening]]''.

==Sequels==

The next game to be released was ''[[Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo]]'' for the [[Super NES]]. It was set in the same continuity but was based more on the gameplay and storyline of the first game.

==Ports/Remakes==

*In Japan, it received releases on all iterations of the [[Virtual Console]]: on the [[Wii]]'s Virtual Console in November 2009, on the [[3DS Virtual Console]] in April 2013 and on the [[Wii U Virtual Console]] in August 2014.
*In 2017, it received a full remake for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], which was known as ''[[Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia]]''. This was the first form of this game to receive an international release.
