Update: Ahead of the launch of the latest game in the series, Fire Emblem Engage<\/a>, we have retooled this article to be a reader-ranked list governed by each game’s respective User Rating in our database. Read on for more details on how to rate the ones you’ve played and, potentially, influence the ranking below…<\/em><\/p>\n

It might have taken a while for Nintendo’s premier SRPG series to find its feet in the West, but the storming success of 2019’s Fire Emblem: Three Houses<\/a> on Switch proved that Intelligent Systems’ turn-based strategy series is now up there with the Marios<\/a> and the Zeldas<\/a> in terms of hallowed Nintendo franchises. With so many entries and nary a low point among them, it’s about time we invited you, dear readers, to wrangle them into a ranked list ahead of the upcoming launch of the latest game in the series, Fire Emblem Engage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The ranked list you see below has been transformed from a Nintendo Life-ranked team list into a reader-ranked version based on each game’s User Ratings on this here website. It contains every game to be officially released in the West<\/strong>, which means it doesn’t include Japan-only Fire Emblem games that never officially left their homeland.<\/p>\n

That means you won’t find the Super Famicom trio Mystery of the Emblem<\/a> (in its original or ‘New<\/a>‘ form), nor Genealogy of the Holy War<\/a>, Thracia 776<\/a>, The Binding Blade<\/strong> on GBA, or the ephemeral BS Fire Emblem<\/strong> for the Satellaview. We’ve got our fingers crossed for rereleases\/remakes of those Japan-only treasures<\/a>, but in the meantime, we’ll have to ‘make do’ with the little lot below.<\/p>\n

We have<\/em> included the Warriors<\/strong> spin-offs and mobile game Fire Emblem Heroes<\/a>, as well as Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE (Encore)<\/a>, even though it’s really a Shin Megami Tensei<\/strong> game with Fire Emblem cameos. What’s that? You don’t approve of their inclusion? Simply pluck them mentally from the list and you’re good to go \u2014 such is the beauty of this User Rating-led system. Hurrah!<\/em> If there’s one thing that’s clear from the selection below, it’s that the overall quality of this series rivals the Mario<\/a> and Zelda<\/a> franchises in terms of consistency; it’s not really possible to play a ‘bad’ Fire Emblem game.<\/p>\n

Remember: This ranking is not set in stone!<\/strong> Registered Nintendo Life users can click on the stars below and rate the games out of 10. The list order is created from those fluid NL User Ratings and is therefore subject to change, even after publication<\/em>. If you’ve previously rated these games in our database, thank you! If not, you can add your score to the game at any time, present or future, and it will still count and potentially influence the order,<\/p>\n

So, climb aboard your mounts if you’ve got ’em, and prepare for battle as we countdown the best Fire Emblem games ever, as ranked by you lovely people.<\/p>\n

Note. To avoid some duplication, we have excluded straight ports of games that are now available on Switch (so no New 3DS Fire Emblem Warriors<\/a> or Wii U Tokyo Mirage Sessions<\/a>). We have, however, kept the Shadow Dragon DS remake. Enjoy!<\/em><\/p>\n
