Fire Emblem Warriors (2017)
In 2017, the first Fire Emblem game graced the Switch with the Dynasty Warriors crossover, Fire Emblem Warriors. This innovative mashup skillfully blends Fire Emblem’s strategic team-based gameplay with Dynasty Warriors’ exhilarating hack-and-slash action. It's a must-play for action enthusiasts, although its lighter narrative may not appeal to those deeply invested in Fire Emblem's lore.
The game was crafted by Omega Force, the studio behind Dynasty Warriors, in collaboration with Team Ninja, known for their work on Ninja Gaiden and Nioh.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses marked a significant milestone for the series. It was the first Fire Emblem game on a home console in 12 years, the inaugural mainline entry on the Switch, and a resounding success both critically and commercially, building on the momentum started by Awakening seven years prior.
Three Houses delivers a grand tactical RPG experience that intertwines large-scale battles with an intricate story of politics and religion within a continental war. Meanwhile, the quieter moments between battles are spent in the monastery, where you can train, teach, explore, and deepen bonds with other characters through compelling dialogue and interactions.
For newcomers looking to dive into the series on the Switch, Three Houses stands out as the ideal starting point, showcasing Fire Emblem at its finest.

In 2020, Nintendo enriched the Switch library with Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore, an expanded version of the original Wii U release. This port introduced new story content, characters, and music to the Nintendo-Atlus crossover. It seamlessly merges Fire Emblem’s iconic "weapon triangle" combat system with the stylish, dungeon-crawling action of Atlus’s Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series.
The narrative is a humorous and often exaggerated tribute to Japanese pop culture, prioritizing action over the storyline, much like its predecessor, Warriors.

Nintendo once again partnered with Omega Force for Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, the second crossover between Fire Emblem and Dynasty Warriors. This game offers an alternate timeline to Three Houses, where protagonist Byleth becomes the main antagonist.
Three Hopes successfully integrates more of Fire Emblem’s social and tactical elements with Dynasty Warriors’ dynamic action, creating a richer experience than its predecessor.

Fire Emblem Engage represents the latest chapter in the series and the second mainline entry on the Switch. It builds upon the excellence of Three Houses while paying homage to Fire Emblem's history. Engage streamlines and refines the social and hub mechanics from Three Houses, placing a stronger emphasis on the series’ signature tactical combat, notably bringing back the "weapon triangle" system.
The narrative follows Alear, a Divine Dragon, on a quest to gather 12 rings to defeat the Fell Dragon and save Elyos. These rings, each containing the spirit of a past Fire Emblem protagonist, allow players to summon iconic heroes like Marth, Ike, Celica, and Byleth, linking Engage's story to the series' rich past.
