Status: Existence Unconfirmed


Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade is the sixth title in the long running Fire Emblem franchise, and the first to be released on handheld consoles. It was first released in March 29th, 2002 in Japan, and would later be rereleased on the Wii U Virtual Console on September 2nd, 2015. The game is best known for introducing the recurring support system, sparking international interest in the franchise as a result of its protagonist Roy's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and its troubled development history.

Following the release of the game, Nintendo of America confirmed that they have plans to localize it for international audiences[1][2] in the wake of Marth and Roy's international popularity, albeit with no exact release date announced. However, despite this, it never happened. Its prequel, The Blazing Blade, was the first in the franchise to be released internationally instead, creating a huge localization gap that has not be filled. Outside of the initial announcement, it is unknown if this localization has ever been produced, as very little information of it has been provided, and no screenshots or evidence of its existence have been found as of yet.
