''Thracia 776'' was released in two forms. Its first release was for the [[wikipedia:Nintendo Power (cartridge)|Nintendo Power]] service, as a digitally distributed game which could be downloaded onto a special flash memory Super Famicom cartridge, the "SF-Memory Cassette", for a lower price than a standard ROM cartridge. This initial Nintendo Power release was accompanied by the ''Thracia 776 Deluxe Pack'', a special-edition bundle containing a pre-written copy of the game, a cloth map of the Thracian Peninsula, a VHS short promotional film called ''The World of Fire Emblem'', and a set of two [[pegasus]] and [[wyvern]] plush toys.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hepokoknight.web.fc2.com/goods/776dx.html|title=ファイアーエムブレム トラキア776 デラックスパック|site=hepokoknight|published=July 7 2010|retrieved=March 30 2015}}</ref> It was later released the next year as a proper Super Famicom cartridge release; in this form, it is sometimes mistaken for the last official Super Famicom game release in Japan, although this status actually belongs to ''[[wikipedia:Metal Slader Glory: Director's Cut|Metal Slader Glory: Director's Cut]]''. | ''Thracia 776'' was released in two forms.

Owing to its distribution through the Nintendo Power system and its release falling well into the [[wikipedia:Nintendo 64|Nintendo 64]] era, ''Thracia 776'' holds the distinction of being the worst-selling ''Fire Emblem'' game in the Japanese market, having sold only 106,108 units as of 2002.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.translan.com/jucc/precedent-2002-11-14d.html|title={{lang|ja|日本ユニ著作権センター/判例全文・2002/11/14d 3}}|author=University of Japan Copyright Center|site=Translan|published=November 14 2002|retrieved=March 30 2015}}</ref> | Owing to its distribution through the Nintendo Power system and its release falling well into the [[wikipedia:Nintendo 64|Nintendo 64]] era, ''Thracia 776'' holds the distinction of being the worst-selling ''Fire Emblem'' game in the Japanese market, having sold only 106,108 units as of 2002.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.translan.com/jucc/precedent-2002-11-14d.html|title={{lang|ja|日本ユニ著作権センター/判例全文・2002/11/14d 3}}|author=University of Japan Copyright Center|site=Translan|published=November 14, 2002|retrieved=March 30, 2015}}</ref> | ||

In December of 2019, another patch named ''Lil' Manster'', originally known as ''Project Exile - Editor's Cut'', was released. Headed by Miacis, one of the lead editors of ''Project Exile'', ''Lil' Manster'' uses ''Project Exile'' as a base but includes several tweaks such as a revised script that updated character names to match ''Heroes'', a fully translated sound room, and improved skill and item descriptions. The patch also includes some quality-of-life changes such as the ability to see what item a unit has equipped at a glance, a weapon experience display, and the ability to reposition units on the preparations menu, a feature that did not exist in the original version of ''Thracia 776''. ''Lil' Manster'' is currently under active development; the latest version, v1.07, was released on January 14, 2021.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://forums.serenesforest.net/index.php?/topic/90189-fe5-lil-manster-pe-based-english-translation-translations-to-es-fr-de-it-tr|author=Miacis|site=Serenes Forest|published=January 14 2021|retrieved=April 1 2021}}</ref> | In December of 2019, another patch named ''Lil' Manster'', originally known as ''Project Exile - Editor's Cut'', was released.
