− | + | 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. | |

Further installments were released on the NES and then the [[Super NES]], with the last ''Fire Emblem'' game for the Super NES (''[[Fire Emblem: Thracia 776]]'') being released in 1999. Intelligent Systems was not ready to work on 3-D ''Fire Emblem'' games yet, so the series continued on the [[Game Boy 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 Game Boy Advance. Although Nintendo considered removing them from the American version due to their not being familiar with American players, 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. | In 2001, the characters [[Marth]] and [[Roy]] appeared as unlockable characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

− | + | 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]]'' outside of Japan. 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, outside of some remakes that would later be made for other systems. | |
In 2005, the first ''Fire Emblem'' game for a 3-D console, ''[[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 marked the first game starring Marth to be released outside of Japan. 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''. | In 2005, the first ''Fire Emblem'' game for a 3-D console, ''[[Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance]]'' was released for the Gamecube.

− | In 2012, the next game was ''[[Fire Emblem Awakening]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], set far into the future of the Arcahneia continuity. This game used a new art style and combined elements from various past games with new ones. Though it had initially been planned as the last game of the series, it became unexpectedly popular, reviving interest in the series and returning it to having international releases. This was followed by ''[[Fire Emblem Fates]]'' in 2015/2016 for the 3DS.

The third version, ''Revelation'', was released as downloadable content and followed the true storyline. |
− | Afterwards, the ''Fire Emblem'' series returned to remaking classic games with the release of ''[[Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia]]'' for the 3DS in 2017.

[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|The fourth installment]] added more content, primarily relevant to ''Awakening''. This included the presence of [[Lucina]] and [[Robin]] as playable fighters, and the DLC added Roy back as well as [[Corrin]] from ''Fates''. ''[[Super Smash Bros.
