NINTENDO has just announced a new game coming to Nintendo Switch.
It’s from one of Nintendo’s most popular series, and it will be playable on Switch from this month.
There are two Fire Emblem games coming to Japanese users.
Coming to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service, there’s a whole new game to the Game Boy Advance library.
Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade is the first game in the series that was available for players in the West.
This was many people’s first introduction to Fire Emblem, which was widely popularised later with Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
It has many of the features that Three Houses has, such as recruiting teammates, strengthening your bonds, and perma-death.
If you have a Japanese account, you will also gain access to Blazing Blade’s predecessor, Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade.
This never made its way to the West, and as such has no English translation.
Both games will arrive on Nintendo Switch Online on Friday, June 23, 2023.
They are free to download for those who subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online’s most expensive tier, Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.
If you are subscribed to this tier, you can download the Game Boy Advance library from the Nintendo eShop for free.
Once you have this, open the app, and next week you will see Fire Emblem available to play.
Nintendo has been adding a lot of games to its Nintendo Switch Online library recently.
Three Mario games were recently added to the online Game Boy Advance library.
For subscribers to the lower tier, four new games were added, including a game from the Kirby series, and a Harvest Moon game.
