It's been 35 years since Intelligent Systems first introduced the Fire Emblem series on Nintendo's Famicom, captivating gamers with its evolving combat and cherished character bonding mechanics. This iconic series has risen to become one of the premier tactical RPGs, highlighted by the release of two exceptional mainline entries on the Nintendo Switch.
As we approach the end of the original Switch era, we've put together a comprehensive guide to every Fire Emblem game available on the console, along with a glimpse of what's on the horizon for the Switch 2.
How Many Fire Emblem Games Are on Switch? -----------------------------------------There are five Fire Emblem games on Switch: two mainline games and three spinoffs. Additionally, two Fire Emblem games are accessible with a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, with a third set to be released for the Switch 2 in June.

In 2017, the first Fire Emblem game graced the Switch with the Dynasty Warriors crossover, Fire Emblem Warriors. This thrilling blend combines Fire Emblem's strategic team-based gameplay with the exhilarating button-mashing action of Dynasty Warriors. It's a must-play for action enthusiasts, though its lighter narrative might not appeal to lore purists.
The game was crafted by Dynasty Warriors' studio Omega Force, in collaboration with Team Ninja, known for their work on Ninja Gaiden and Nioh.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses marked a pivotal moment for the series. It was the first home console release in 12 years, the inaugural mainline entry on Switch, and a resounding success that built upon the legacy of Awakening.
Three Houses masterfully intertwines epic battles with intimate character interactions. The narrative unfolds through large-scale conflicts within a continent embroiled in political and religious strife, while quieter times are spent at the monastery, where players can train, teach, explore, and bond with characters through compelling conversations.
This game encapsulates the essence of Fire Emblem and is the ideal entry point for newcomers to the series on the Switch.

In 2020, Nintendo enhanced the Wii U's Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE with the release of Encore on the Switch. This expanded version includes new story elements, characters, and music, merging Fire Emblem's "weapon triangle" combat with the vibrant style and combat dynamics of Atlus's Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series.
The storyline, a playful nod to Japanese pop culture, prioritizes action over narrative depth, much like its predecessor, Warriors.

Nintendo joined forces once more with Omega Force to bring us Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, a sequel to the original crossover. This game reimagines the story of Three Houses in an alternate universe where the protagonist Byleth is the antagonist.
Three Hopes offers a richer integration of Fire Emblem's social and tactical elements alongside Dynasty Warriors' fast-paced action, making it a more comprehensive experience than its predecessor.

Fire Emblem Engage stands as the latest and second mainline entry on the Switch. It builds upon the success of Three Houses and pays homage to the series' rich history. Engage streamlines the social aspects and refocuses on the tactical combat, notably bringing back the "weapon triangle" system.
The game follows Alear, the Divine Dragon, on a quest to gather 12 rings to defeat the Fell Dragon and rescue the continent of Elyos. These rings connect the story to Fire Emblem's past, allowing players to summon iconic heroes like Marth, Ike, Celica, and Byleth.
