Fire Emblem Games for Nintendo Switch in 2025

Since its debut on Nintendo's Famicom 35 years ago, Intelligent Systems' Fire Emblem series has evolved into a cornerstone of tactical RPGs. Known for its deep combat mechanics and innovative character bonding systems, the series reached new heights with two critically acclaimed mainline entries on the Nintendo Switch. As the original Switch era draws to a close, let’s take a look at the Fire Emblem titles currently available on the console and what’s on the horizon for Switch 2.

How Many Fire Emblem Games Are on Switch?

There are five Fire Emblem games available on the Switch: two mainline titles and three spin-offs. Additionally, two classic Fire Emblem games are accessible via Nintendo Switch Online, with a third slated to arrive on Switch 2 in June.

Fire Emblem Warriors (2017)

The first Fire Emblem game on Switch was the action-packed crossover Fire Emblem Warriors, developed by Omega Force in collaboration with Team Ninja. This hybrid combines Fire Emblem’s strategic depth with Dynasty Warriors' fast-paced combat. While it appeals to action enthusiasts, the lighter narrative makes it less essential for those deeply invested in Fire Emblem lore.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses (2019)

Fire Emblem: Three Houses marked a pivotal moment for the series. As the first mainline entry on a home console in 12 years, it brought Fire Emblem into the modern era with its gripping political drama and intricate tactical battles. Players balance large-scale warfare with personal interactions in the monastery, fostering relationships and teaching students.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore (2020)

This crossover title blends Fire Emblem’s weapon triangle system with the stylish dungeon crawling and storytelling of Atlus’ Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series. Though the narrative takes a backseat to the gameplay, it remains a fan favorite.

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes (2023)

Returning to the collaboration between Omega Force and Nintendo, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes offers an alternate-timeline retelling of Three Houses. With enhanced integration of Fire Emblem’s tactical elements, it caters to both action and strategy fans alike.

Fire Emblem Engage (2023)

The latest mainline entry, Fire Emblem Engage, pays homage to the series’ roots while pushing boundaries. It reintroduces the iconic weapon triangle system and introduces a compelling narrative centered around Alear, a Divine Dragon tasked with uniting ancient heroes to save the world.

Fire Emblem Games Available with Nintendo Switch Online

Two classic Fire Emblem games are available through Nintendo Switch Online outside Japan: Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade (GBA, 2003) and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (GBA, 2004). A third title, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (GCN, 2005), will join the lineup when Switch 2 launches on June 5.

Upcoming Fire Emblem Titles

While no official announcements exist regarding new Fire Emblem games, anticipation is high for potential releases on Switch 2. Fans eagerly await further details as the next generation of consoles approaches.
