Title Screen

Status: Partially Lost

Fire Emblem: Archanea Saga (, also known as BS Fire Emblem by fans, is a four-episode BS-X game consisting of original maps that serve as a prequel to Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light. It originally aired from September 28th, 1997 to October 25th, 1997, and saw two reruns; the first one occurred one month after its initial airing, and another in 1999. It is notable for being the earliest game in the franchise to utilize voice acting, predating Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance by 8 years.

Gameplay

The game uses the same engine that Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem used, but each episode focuses on characters other than Marth himself.

Availability

Since the discontinuation of the Satellaview at the turn of the millennium, as with all other BS-X games, the game fell into obscurity. However, in 2010, it was remade as bonus content included with Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem albeit without the voice acting, making this the only time a BS-X game was rereleased in any form after the end of the Satellaview. It was never released overseas.

The original BS-X version is fully playable, but because the game was recorded live, the ROMs are missing the voice-acting, music, and cutscenes, though all of these managed to survive through video footage.
