Fire Emblem Warriors (2017)
The inaugural Fire Emblem title on the Switch was the innovative crossover, Fire Emblem Warriors. This game seamlessly melds the strategic team-based combat of Fire Emblem with the frenetic, hack-and-slash action of Dynasty Warriors. It’s an engaging spinoff that appeals particularly to action enthusiasts, though its narrative might not satisfy those deeply invested in Fire Emblem's lore.
Developed in collaboration between Omega Force, the masterminds behind Dynasty Warriors, and Team Ninja, known for titles like Ninja Gaiden and Nioh, this game brings a unique blend to the Switch.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses marked a significant milestone for the series. It was the first home console release in 12 years, the first mainline entry on the Switch, and both a critical and commercial triumph that built upon the momentum started by Awakening years earlier.
Three Houses offers a vast tactical RPG experience, expertly balancing large-scale battles with intimate character interactions. The game unfolds a complex narrative of politics and religion amidst a continental war, interspersed with moments in the monastery where players can train, teach, explore, and bond with other characters through deeply crafted and well-acted dialogues.
This title represents Fire Emblem at its finest and serves as an excellent starting point for anyone looking to dive into the series on the Switch.

In 2020, Nintendo brought Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore to the Switch, an enhanced version of the original Wii U game. Encore introduces new story elements, additional characters, and fresh music tracks to the Nintendo-Atlus crossover. It cleverly integrates Fire Emblem’s “weapon triangle” combat system with the dynamic style, dungeon exploration, and combat mechanics reminiscent of Atlus’s Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series.
The game's narrative playfully satirizes Japanese pop culture, similar to its predecessor Fire Emblem Warriors, prioritizing action over story.

Nintendo teamed up once again with Omega Force to deliver Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, a sequel to the original Fire Emblem Warriors. This title revisits the world of Three Houses but in an alternate timeline where the protagonist, Byleth, turns into the main antagonist.
Three Hopes offers a richer fusion of the two franchises, incorporating more of Fire Emblem’s social and tactical elements with the fast-paced action of Dynasty Warriors.

Fire Emblem Engage is the latest addition to the series and the second mainline entry on the Switch. It builds upon the success of Three Houses while paying homage to Fire Emblem's storied past. Engage refines and simplifies the social and hub mechanics of its predecessor, placing a renewed focus on the series' signature tactical combat, notably bringing back the “weapon triangle” system.
The narrative follows the Divine Dragon Alear on a quest to gather 12 rings to defeat the Fell Dragon and save the continent of Elyos. Each ring contains the spirit of a past Fire Emblem protagonist, enabling players to summon iconic heroes like Marth, Ike, Celica, and Byleth into battle.
