Fire Emblem: Akaneia Saga
(BS Fire Emblem)



(For more information, including rough script translations, please see here)

These were four short standalone games that could be downloaded for the Satellaview add-on for the Super Famicom (SNES). The games were originally broadcast from September to October 1997 and were rebroadcast some time during 1999.

As the name suggests, the games take place on the continent of Akaneia- in fact some time before the beginning of Dark Dragon and Sword of Light. Each game comprises of just one map, similar to the Trial Maps in recent titles. The aim of each map is to gain as many points as possible before time runs out. Points are rewarded for fighting enemies, opening chests, visiting villages and etc. In each game, you control a different main character (sometimes two). That character acts as the item storage and if they die, the map resets.

The Mystery of the Emblem engine is used for this game, although there is no background music (as it was streamed) or battle animations. The majority of the dialogue was originally voice-acted and streamed so, when playing on an emulator, there will only be dialogue for boss taunts, death quotes and visiting villages. The growth rates for returning characters are identical to their original growth rates, and the growth rates for unique characters are listed below.
