BS Fire Emblem: Archanea Senki-hen,[n 1] commonly referred to as BS Fire Emblem, is an episodic tactical role-playing game developed by Intelligent Systems and released in 1997 following the release of Genealogy of the Holy War. It acts as a prequel to the events of the first Fire Emblem title and Mystery of the Emblem.[1][2][3] The four episodes of BS Fire Emblem were broadcast between September and October 1997 on the Satellaview peripheral service, a system where short games were downloaded via satellite at given times of day.[3][4] While it employs the same tactical gameplay as the mainline titles, it throws waves of enemies at the main party during a three-hour time limit.[2][3]
BS Fire Emblem was directed and designed by Kaga, while the music was composed by Tsujiyoko in her role as composer and sound director.[5][6][7][8] The character artwork was done by Rika Suzuki, a newcomer to the Fire Emblem series who would later go on to create character illustrations for Fire Emblem Awakening.[7] It was the first title in the Fire Emblem series to include voice acting, created using livestreaming during the original broadcast.[6] The game used the technology created for Mystery of the Emblem.[3][9]
The first episode, "Episode 1: Fall of the Palace",[n 2] was broadcast on September 28;[10] "Episode 2: Crimson Dragoon Knight"[n 3] released on October 5;[11] "Episode 3: Thieves of Justice"[n 4] released on October 12;[12] and the finale, "Episode 4: Time of Beginning",[n 5] released on October 19.[13] Since broadcast, the original game became very rare due to the method of release and the discontinuation of Satellaview service, requiring a cartridge with the game installed to be available. Even then, the original streamed voice acting is unavailable.[3] While forming part of the Fire Emblem series and technically the fifth entry, BS Fire Emblem is frequently not counted among the main entries. Instead, it is seen as an extension of Mystery of the Emblem. Despite being included in the official timeline of its fictional setting, it is considered an "unofficial" part of the series.[14][2][3][9][15]
