Perhaps the most famous quality of the ''BS Fire Emblem'' chapters is that the games were, using the functionality of the Satellaview system, played alongside a streaming audio track featuring full voice acting for most of the cast.  Every chapter opened and closed with a cutscene consisting of static picture panels accompanied by narration and voice acting.  The game consists of two segments: the ROM containing the actual map and gameplay, and the streaming audio played alongside it including the soundtrack, new covers of tracks from {{title|Monshou no Nazo}}.  The former was saved onto a memory device, if intended to be done so temporarily, whereas the latter was not and is therefore permanently lost outside of recorded archive footage of the chapters being played, found on sites like YouTube and Nico Nico Douga.

The game uses the {{FE3}} game engine, with a few modifications: the game features no battle animations and minimal written dialogue, the latter facilitated through the voice-acting.  As in normal ''Fire Emblem'' games, each episode has one or two designated "[[Lord]]" characters who fulfil the normal purpose of a Lord: their death triggers a Game Over equivalent, where the map resets to where it was immediately after the previous voiced dialogue interlude e (or, in modern attempts to emulate it, where said interlude would have been); they also act as an item convoy. During the game, if a player makes a mistake, they can press the L, R, Start and Select buttons in combination to restart the game from where it was at the time of the last voiced interlude.
