The Fire Emblem series (ファイアーエムブレム, Faiā Emuburemu) is a series of turn-based strategy role-playing games developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo.[1] The series is the first of its kind, with its origins dating back to the days of the Nintendo Entertainment System;[2] however, the first six games were released exclusively in Japan. Each game in the series includes numerous playable characters, each with their own backstories and personalities. The series features permanent death, meaning that any character, save the Lord character(s), will be gone for good if they fall in battle.[3]

History

Famicom and Super Famicom

The Fire Emblem series first began with the release of Dark Dragon and Sword of Light for the Famicom on April 20, 1990. It was developed by Intelligent Systems, a company previously invested in producing 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, Dark Dragon and Sword of Light was published. Although it did not have a great amount of sales in the first two weeks, sales did eventually improve.

The second game in the series, Fire Emblem Gaiden was released on March 14, 1992, also for the Famicom. It introduced several new gameplay changes, including a "Trainee" type class, use of a world map, and monster enemies. Most of these elements disappeared in later games before resurfacing in The Sacred Stones.

GBA Era

Blazing Sword was the first Fire Emblem game released worldwide.[4] Due to it being a unique game, the first part of it is a tutorial, meant to introduce new players to the gameplay of the series.[5]

3D Games

DS Remakes

After the Nintendo DS was introduced, Shadow Dragon was introduced. Being a remake of the original game, Shadow Dragon was just a remake for Japanese buyers, though the story was new for worldwide players. Later, to celebrate the series twentieth anniversary, a remake of the second half of the third game of the series was released, though only in Japan. This was the first game since the series had hit worldwide shelves to be released exclusively in Japan.
