The Famicom war series is kind of a light hearted game, not too complicated, and not too challenging. Its rather fast paced, and has some modern units that people can relate too.
Fire Emblem is like Ogre Battle. It will only get a niche market and won't sell very well. Even when Nintendo was publishing Ogre Battle, they had Atlus do it here because they might not even break even on the investment to localize.
Fire Emblem has tons of stats, tons of techniques and RPG elements to it that would make you dizzy. The story line is some serious branching shit with a lot of death and dying of your main characters. Remember, like real war, if your characters die, even if they're significant characters, they're dead for the entire storyline and of course impacts the passage of the story. Not something everyone is into except hard core RPGers or tactical sim enthusiasts who would be willing to brave the Japanese just to play it like me.
