Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light: Difference between revisions

''Ankoku Ryuu'' has spawned a large number of sequels and other related works, with its story canon comprised of six of the thirteen ''Fire Emblem'' games.  It has been remade twice, first as the first half of {{FE3}} in 1993, and again as {{FE11}} in 2008.  Its sequels, both direct and indirect, include {{FE2}}, {{title|Monshou no Nazo}} Book 2 (and by extension {{title|Shin Monshou no Nazo}}, its remake), and {{FE13}}. In a loose sense it also has prequels, in the form of {{title|Seisen no Keifu}} and {{title|Thracia 776}}, set on [[Jugdral|another land in the same world]], but thousands of years in the past and referencing some of the events which were happening and characters which existed on Archanea itself at the time.

''Ankoku Ryuu'' was, like the following five games, never released outside of Japan.  Along with {{title|Fuuin no Tsurugi}}, it was in a way responsible for sparking international interest in the series, when Marth appeared with [[Roy]] in {{SSBM}} in 2001.  Their appearance ultimately resulted in the international release of {{title|Blazing Sword}} and all subsequent games until {{title|Shin Monshou no Nazo}}.  While the game remained untranslated and not released on the international Virtual Console service for [[Wii]], its 2008 remake {{FE11}} did receive an international release, finally bringing the story of Marth to the rest of the world.
