Fire Emblem is a Japanese anime OAV based on Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo, the third game in Nintendo's Fire Emblem strategy game series, which in turn included a remake of Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi, the first game in series. Production ended after only two episodes were finished. Both episodes were released in dubbed and subtitled formats in North America on VHS by ADV Films in 1997.
While this anime essentially came and went, its existence does contain one mildly interesting translation note. Produced long before any of the Fire Emblem games were released in North America, the lead character's name was translated as "Mars" by ADV Films. However, when the character made an in-game appearance in Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. Melee, Nintendo chose to officially translate his name as Marth. Marth's Japanese voice actor, Hikaru Midorikawa, also reprised his role as the character's voice in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
