Fire Emblem Warriors (2017)
Launched as the first Fire Emblem game on the Switch, Fire Emblem Warriors is a unique crossover with Dynasty Warriors. This title combines Fire Emblem’s strategic team-based gameplay with the fast-paced, action-packed combat of Dynasty Warriors. While the story might be lighter, it's a must-play for fans of action-packed spinoffs.
Developed by Omega Force, the team behind Dynasty Warriors, in collaboration with Team Ninja, known for Ninja Gaiden and Nioh.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses marked a significant milestone for the franchise. It was the first home console release in 12 years, the first mainline entry on Switch, and both a critical and commercial success, building on the momentum started by Awakening seven years prior.
This expansive tactical RPG beautifully balances epic battles with intimate moments. It weaves a story of politics and religion set against a continental war, while also allowing players to spend time in a monastery, training, teaching, exploring, and deepening bonds with other characters through well-crafted interactions.
Three Houses stands as a pinnacle of the Fire Emblem experience, making it an ideal starting point for newcomers to 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 adds new story elements, characters, and music to this crossover between Nintendo and Atlus, blending Fire Emblem's "weapon triangle" combat system with the stylish dungeon-crawling and combat of Atlus's Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series.
The narrative is a playful, often exaggerated nod to Japanese pop culture, where the action takes precedence over the storyline, much like its predecessor, Warriors.

Nintendo once again partnered with Omega Force for Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, their second Fire Emblem-Dynasty Warriors crossover. Set in an alternate timeline from Three Houses, this game casts Three Houses' protagonist Byleth as the main antagonist.
Three Hopes offers a richer integration of Fire Emblem's social and tactical elements with the high-octane action of Dynasty Warriors, creating a more seamless blend of the two franchises.

Fire Emblem Engage represents the latest addition to the series and the second mainline entry on the Switch. Building on the strengths of Three Houses, Engage pays homage to the franchise's history by refining the social and hub mechanics while focusing primarily on the tactical combat that the series is known for, including the reintroduction of 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 the continent of Elyos. These rings not only tie into the overarching story but also allow players to summon legendary heroes from past Fire Emblem games, like Marth, Ike, Celica, and Byleth.
