GBA Fire Emblems Blazing Blade (All) and Binding Blade (JP Only) coming to Nintendo Switch Online+ June 23

This is practically bringing me out of the woodwork. Nintendo of America gave us a pretty exciting tweet just a short while ago; All Nintendo Switch Online+ users will finally have access to play Fire Emblem Blazing Blade, and it’s in a week! You heard it here, folks!

For the Japanese NSO account holders; both Fire Emblem Blazing Blade and Fire Emblem Binding Blade are coming out on the same day. English NSO+ account holders will not have access to Binding Blade, which is unfortunate, but maybe we will one day. Regardless; we can finally play this on the go, legally to boot! I wonder how the Link Arena will work…

Merchandise: Roy & Lilina 1/7-scale Figures Arriving September/October 2023!

Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have revealed not one, but two new scale figures–this time of Roy and Lilina from Binding Blade, which celebrated its 20th anniversary back in March.

These are collectively the 5th set of figures, in Intelligent System’s range of Fire Emblem scale figures. The previous figure was female Byleth, which releases on February 2023.

Roy’s figure will be releasing on October 2023, while Lilina’s figure arrives a bit earlier on September 2023. Pre-orders are open now, such as via Good Smile Company (Roy / Lilina). Each figure has a RRP of 29,700 Yen.

You can find multiple photos of both figures via the GSC links above and also from Intelligent System’s website. Of note, there are 360 degree videos for each figure (Roy / Lilina).

Additionally, Eiji Kaneda–the official artist for Binding Blade–designed the artwork for the figures and also shared a message on IS’s website.

Heroes: “Bridal Blossoms” is Roy’s Luckiest Day!

It’s wedding season in Fire Emblem Heroes again and, this time, we have a fully Binding Blade line up!

Note: You can check out the Japanese version of this trailer here.

On top of that, the featured Heroes are all potential brides of Roy (Lilina, Sophia and Cecilia), Roy himself and his father.

Additionally, Larum: Dancing Bride (the other Hero from the silhouette, alongside Sophia) will be the Tempest Trials reward.

Poor Sue didn’t make the cut though. Meanwhile, Shanna was introduced in last year’s bridal banner.

Anyway, please continue for a breakdown of the Heroes from the trailer!

Heroes: “Princess of Bern” Introduces More Allies from Binding Blade!

Well, well, it seems fans have cracked the code to predict which game the next New Heroes are bound to be from. This time, Binding Blade gets another chance to shine, in the upcoming “Princess of Bern” summoning event.

Note: You can check out the Japanese version of this trailer here.

Starting from 17th November 2020 (UTC), the following Heroes will make their debut: Melady, Dieck, Merlinus and Guinevere. Merlinus will also be available as a 4-star focus Hero. Then on the following day, Galle: Azure Rider can be challenge in a new Grand Hero Battle.

It’s very interesting to see Merlinus as a Hero, since–although he was a unit in the games he appeared in–he couldn’t fight. Also, Guinivere and Galle could be obtained in Binding Blade, but you had to beat the game 9 times and twice respectively to unlock them.

By the way, aside from the upcoming Mythic Hero, the next bunch of Heroes will be “New Heroes” again. This time, however, it’s probably not possible to predict them, since the calendar doesn’t go far enough into the future.

Anyway, please continue reading to learn about the new Heroes!
