Fire Emblem Warriors (2017)
Launching the Fire Emblem journey on the Switch was the exhilarating crossover, Fire Emblem Warriors. This game masterfully blends Fire Emblem's strategic team-based combat with the dynamic, button-mashing action of Dynasty Warriors. It's an engaging spinoff for action enthusiasts, though its lighter narrative might not captivate those deeply invested in Fire Emblem lore.
Developed by Omega Force, known for Dynasty Warriors, in collaboration with Team Ninja (famous for Ninja Gaiden and Nioh), this game offers a thrilling experience.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses marked a significant milestone for the series. It was the first home console entry in 12 years, the debut mainline game on the Switch, and a critical and commercial triumph that built on the momentum established by Awakening.
This expansive tactical RPG expertly intertwines grand-scale battles with intimate moments. The narrative unfolds amidst a continental war, driven by politics and religion, while the downtime at the monastery allows for training, teaching, exploring, and deepening bonds with other characters through compelling and well-acted conversations.
Three Houses represents Fire Emblem at its finest, making it the perfect entry point for newcomers to the series on the Switch.

In 2020, Nintendo brought us Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore, an enhanced version of the original Wii U game. Encore introduced new story elements, characters, and music to the unique crossover between Nintendo and Atlus. It combines Fire Emblem’s strategic “weapon triangle” with the vibrant style, dungeon-crawling, and engaging combat of Atlus’s Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series.
The game's narrative humorously and flamboyantly celebrates Japanese pop culture, taking a backseat to the action, similar to its predecessor, Fire Emblem Warriors.

Nintendo teamed up once again with Omega Force for Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, their second crossover with the Dynasty Warriors series. This game offers an alternate timeline to Three Houses, where protagonist Byleth becomes the main antagonist.
Three Hopes provides a richer integration of Fire Emblem's social and tactical elements with the fast-paced action of Dynasty Warriors, making it a more comprehensive blend of both worlds.

Fire Emblem Engage stands as the latest addition to 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 rich history. Engage refines the social and hub mechanics, focusing primarily on the series' hallmark tactical combat, notably reintroducing the "weapon triangle" system.
The narrative follows Alear, the Divine Dragon, on a quest to gather 12 rings to defeat the Fell Dragon and save the continent of Elyos. The rings not only tie the story to the series' past but also allow you to summon legendary heroes like Marth, Ike, Celica, and Byleth.
