It first appeared around the world on the Game Boy Advance with Fire Emblem: Blazing Blade and then The Sacred Stones. It didn\u2019t have too much success with these titles, but it really blew up when it came to the Nintendo 3DS with Awakening in 2012. The game sold over 180,000 units, and lead to the development of more games. After this, Fates came out for the 3DS, which offered players two different games (with a third coming later) in the same world. In June 2019, Three Houses came out for the Nintendo Switch. It was wildly successful, selling over two million units, and winning the Strategy Game of the Year award. There hasn\u2019t been any word on a possible new installment to the series, but there is bound to be another game coming eventually. In the meantime, re-releasing the original is a great way to help modern players experience the origin of the series. It should be exciting to see how it has has changed over the years. The franchise has evolved a lot since 1990, but if you want to see where it all began, you can pre-order the game from the Nintendo eShop right now for $5.99. This will make sure you\u2019re ready for its release on December 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
