I've never played Fire Emblem either, so I don't know what its gameplay is like at all... Ogre Battle? Advance Wars? Final Fantasy or Final Fantasy Tactics? Something else?
None of those games, of course, are much like any PC TBSes... though some do come close. A Heroes of Might & Magic / Disciples / Age of Wonders -style PC TBS is the closest, because of the RPG influence in those games... heroes, parties, wandering monsters, etc...
Paper Mario is very clearly a sequel to Mario RPG! It plays very similarly, for one... the game is very clearly derived from the first one. Only improved in many ways.
