Year introduced
Genre(s)RPG, Strategy

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: Sword of Fire.

Games

The following is a list of games released in the series.

Games predating Fire Emblem were released only in Japan. As a result, there are no official English language titles for these games, except Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragons and the Blade of Light, Fire Emblem Gaiden and Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. These names are used in the sound test for Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
