History
Origin
The Fire Emblem series first began with the release of Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi for the Famicom on March 31, 1990. It was developed by Intelligent Systems, a company that had been making video game development tools. Intelligent Systems began to work on simulation games, starting with the first game of the Wars series, Famicom Wars, which has gameplay slightly similar to the Fire Emblem series. In 1990, Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi was published. Although it did not have a great amount of sales in the first two weeks, sales did eventually improve.
Afterwards, Fire Emblem Gaiden was developed and released on March 14, 1992, also for the Famicom. It introduced several new gameplay changes, most of which were dropped afterwards. However, some of them did resurface in later games.
