Fire Emblem is a series of strategy games made by Intelligent Systems. Gameplay-wise, the series is similar to Intelligent Systems' older strategy series, 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.
History
The series began in 1990 with the release of Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi for the Nintendo Entertainment System. 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. 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 is being followed by Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn for the Nintendo Wii.
Continuity
The games in the series do not appear to share the same continuity, and the series is instead divided into several seperate continuities. The continuities are usually identified by the continents they take place on. The following is a list of the continuities, with the games contained in each continuity, listed in the order that they take place chronologically.
