Fire Emblem Warriors (2017)
Launched in 2017, Fire Emblem Warriors marked the first Fire Emblem title on the Switch and is a crossover with the Dynasty Warriors series. It masterfully blends Fire Emblem’s strategic team-based gameplay with Dynasty Warriors’ thrilling hack-and-slash action. While the narrative may not be as deep as other Fire Emblem games, it’s a must-play for action enthusiasts. This title was crafted by Omega Force, in collaboration with Team Ninja, renowned for Ninja Gaiden and Nioh.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses was a landmark release, being the first home console entry in 12 years and the first mainline game on the Switch.

This expansive tactical RPG seamlessly intertwines grand battles that drive a compelling story of politics and religion with intimate moments at the monastery, where players engage in training, teaching, and bonding with characters through rich dialogue and interactions.

In 2020, Nintendo released Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore, an enhanced version of the original Wii U game. Encore includes additional story content, characters, and music, merging Fire Emblem's "weapon triangle" combat with the dynamic style, dungeon exploration, and combat of Atlus’s Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series. The game’s story is a humorous and exaggerated take on Japanese pop culture, prioritizing action over narrative depth.
