'''Fire Emblem''' is a series of strategic role-playing games that has so far spanned ten games over nearly two decades. However, none of these games reached Western shores until after the release of [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], which had two characters from the Fire Emblem series - Marth and Roy - as playable combatants. The first in the series to be officially released in NTSC and PAL areas was the seventh to be released in Japan, simply called [[Fire Emblem]] but also known as Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade.
