Fire Emblem Warriors (2017)
Marking the debut of Fire Emblem on the Switch, Fire Emblem Warriors is a thrilling crossover with Dynasty Warriors. It masterfully combines Fire Emblem’s strategic team-based gameplay with the frenetic, hack-and-slash action of Dynasty Warriors. While it's a must-play for fans of action games, its lighter narrative might not satisfy those deeply invested in the Fire Emblem storyline.
Developed by Omega Force, renowned for Dynasty Warriors, and in collaboration with Team Ninja, known for Ninja Gaiden and Nioh, this game offers a fresh take on the series.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses stands as a landmark entry in the series. It was the first Fire Emblem game on a home console in over a decade, the first mainline entry on the Switch, and a triumph that continued the momentum started by Awakening. This expansive tactical RPG weaves epic battles with intimate character interactions, set against a backdrop of political and religious conflict. In between the large-scale warfare, players can explore the monastery, train, teach, and bond with characters through compelling dialogue and storytelling.
Three Houses represents the pinnacle of Fire Emblem's offerings on Switch, making it an ideal starting point for newcomers.

In 2020, Nintendo brought Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore to the Switch, enhancing the original Wii U game with new story elements, characters, and music. This crossover with Atlus marries Fire Emblem's weapon triangle system—swords beating axes, axes beating lances, lances beating swords—with the vibrant style and combat of Atlus's Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series. The narrative, a playful nod to Japanese pop culture, complements the action-packed gameplay.

Following the success of Fire Emblem Warriors, Nintendo and Omega Force reunited for Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. This sequel presents an alternate timeline to Three Houses, where the protagonist Byleth emerges as the antagonist. Three Hopes deepens the integration of Fire Emblem's social and tactical elements with Dynasty Warriors' signature fast-paced action, offering a richer experience than its predecessor.

Fire Emblem Engage marks the latest addition to the series and the second mainline title on the Switch. Building upon the excellence of Three Houses, Engage also pays homage to the franchise's history. It streamlines the social and hub elements from its predecessor while emphasizing the series' core tactical combat, notably reintroducing the "weapon triangle" system.
The narrative follows Alear, a Divine Dragon, on a quest to collect 12 rings to defeat the Fell Dragon and save Elyos. Each ring houses the spirit of a past Fire Emblem hero, allowing players to summon legendary figures like Marth, Ike, Celica, and Byleth into battle.
