Nintendo now considers Fire Emblem to be a major Nintendo franchise, on the level of Animal Crossing, etc. due to success of the recent titles like Fire Emblem Awakening, Fates Birthright, and Fates Conquest. This is also a reason they decided to bring the series to mobile devices.
This is awesome. Fire Emblem still doesn't sell quite as well as many of Nintendo's other IP, but to be recognized on that level is really nice and hopefully means we'll start seeing more from Fire Emblem and more often. (which is really already happening with all the Fates games and the new mobile game)
