168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fire Emblem has been around for quite a whil♕e, and to this day remains as one of best-in-class for turn-based tactics games. Beginning back in 1990, the series has shifted in popularity to the point it was almost axed entirely, and now sits comfortably at the most popular it has ever been.

And with those years of experience behind it, the series has had plenty of chances to reinvent itself, and twist its ideas in new and fascinating ways. But just how many Fire Emblem games have there actually been, and wh🍰en did the series first appear in the Western world? Let's find out.

How Many Mainline Fire Emblem Games Are There?

From its origins back in 1990 on the NES, the Fire Emblem has rarely ever taken extended breaks. In fact, the largest time between two mainline entries was the five-year period between Radiant Dawn and Awakening, from 2007 to 2012. These ♛aside, there has never been more than four years between mainline entries, bot🔜h before and since.

And j💃ust how many games can you rel🎉ease in such a period? Let's check that out below:

For the sake of clarity, the remakes of mainline titles have been excluded from this section.

Mystery of the Emblem has a remake as its first section, and an entirely new story as its second half.

In total, the Fire Emblem series is sitting at 14 mainline entries, remakes of other mainline games notwithstanding. In 33 years, tha❀t's a respectable number, roughly working out at a new game every two years. That figures is slightly skewed by the Game Boy Advance entries however, which all came out within a year of one another.

How Many Fire Emblem Spin-Offs Are There?

With over 30 years of the series being in existence, it's not a surprise that Fire Emblem has a few spin-offs. What's actually much more interesting is the fact that the series has so few spin-offs. Most series that have been around this lon♒g, even Nintendo's own ones, would have many more spin-offs at this point.

Let's look at the handful of them below:

There are only a total of five Fire Emblem spin-offs, and even BS Fire Emblem was later incorporated into a mainline remake, Fire Emblem: New M♍ystery Of The Emblem. As such, that only leaves us with three☂ dedicated remakes, which can be stripped down even further. So let's do just that.

• Tokyo Mirage Sessions is the most extreme of the spin-offs, acting as a collab with Shin Megami Tensei that ends up feeling more similar to the visual aesthetic of Persona. It later got an expanded Switch version.
• Fire Emblem Heroes stands apart from the main Fire Emblem games with a story of its own and a stripped-down version of its gameplay, though features hordes of returning characters.
• Fire Emblem Warriors has a similar premise to Heroes, with a brand-new world that exists as a meeting ground for the heroes for the many other games. It is, of course, also a Dynasty Warriors collaboration.
• Three Hopes is another Warriors-style game, though this time as an extension of Three Houses. While it does feature an alternative story, it does still use it as a means of expanding upon certain story threads from the base game.

So while the majority can still be safely classed as spin-offs, Three Hopes straddles the line in being so closely tied to the g꧃ame it is a spin-off of.

How Many Fire Emblem Remakes Are There?

Video game remakes are often seen as something of a modern phenomenon. We yearn for the nostalgic times of the past so much, we just keep bringing them back, but a little shinier this time. Except video games have been made and remade since their earliest days, and Fire Emblem is, well, emblematic of that.

The original Fire Emblem released in 1990, yet only four years later it had a remake. And guess what? It got an꧙other remake too. Let's c✃heck them all out below:

Across those four remakes, you might notice something interesting. Three of them are all remakes of the very first game. Mystery of the Emblem fully remade the original, and then✨ added a whole new story section as well. Shadow Dragon was another remake, this time dedicated to just the original version of the game, with a more comprehensive makeover.

And then the very final remake is of Mystery of the Emblem, rather simply titled New Mystery of the Emblem. This was also for the DS, and also inco🌳rporated the original𒀰 Satellaview game as well as additional story segments.

And the very final remake of Echoes, which is a remake of the second game in the series, Gaiden. So perhaps from here onward, we can expect remakes only o❀f older games, unless Shadow Dragon needs yet another rel💎ease.

How Many Fire Emblem Games Have Been Released Internationally?

An interesting fact about Fire Emblem is that, though it is indeed a beloved game internationally now, it was not so for quite a while. While it wasn't the first game that released in the West, Fire Emblem Awakening is what made the series a household name around the world, whereas Ja💛pan had been it's only prominent region prior to this.

However, the first Fire Emblem game to release in the West was Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. This was a prequel to The Binding Blade, which to this day has s💃till not found its way to the wesꦅt. In fact, none of the Fire Emblem games prior to The Blazing Blade have been released in the west.

Briefly, Nintendo did make a localised version of Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light available digitally, though on𒅌ly as a temporary offer that shows no signs of ever reappearing.

What makes this release all the more interesting is that it was not the first instance of Fire Emblem characters in the West. Indeed, they first appeared in Super Smash Bros. Melee with Marth and Roy, and it was theiꦺr success here that prompted the ✱games to be localised.

Ever since the Blazing Blade, every entry in the series has been released internationally, with one exception - New Mystery of the Emblem♉. This means that the Satellaview content of the original Mystery of the Emblem is not accessible in the West at all.
