The first game in the series is Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi. Fire Emblem: Shin Monshō no Nazo: Hikari to Kage no Eiyū is the latest game in the series and is a remake of Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo.

== Gameplay ==
Fire Emblem games are set by chapters. In each chapter, units must be moved around the terrain to battle on a grid-like map. In older titles, enemy units were red and player units were blue to differentiate the two sides. Each unit has a certain amount of movement which can be lowered by the terrain they are on. There are certain conditions that must be met in each chapter, which may include:
* Seize - Moving the main unit to a certain spot and then choosing the option "Seize".
* Rout Enemy - Defeating all enemy units on the map.
* Defeat Boss - Defeating the boss of the chapter.
== Reception ==
The Fire Emblem series was well received worldwide. Critics have welcomed the character development and plotlines, but have criticized the poor multiplayer component. The GameCube and Wii titles are often criticized for the 3D graphics that don't look as good as the past console titles.
