The Sacred Stones Added to NSO+ & Engage Added to Nintendo Music!

April 22, 2025 News No comments

We have a double dose of Fire Emblem news today, just days after the series’s 35th anniversary.

Firstly, The Sacred Stones is finally available on Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass.

The Expansion Pass debuted back in 2023, with both Binding Blade and Blazing Blade becoming available a few months later in June 2023 (the former only on the Japanese app).

Next, the soundtrack for FE Engage has been added to the Nintendo Music app (requires NSO).

You can listen to a whopping 182 tracks. At a glance, these appear to be all the songs from Disks 1~7 of the official soundtrack plus “The Journey Is Finally…”, “Emblem Engage! [English Ver]” and “Fiery Bonds [English Ver]” from the bonus disk.

April 2, 2025 News No comments

Sadly, no new Fire Emblem game was announced during today’s Nintendo Switch 2 Direct. However, Nintendo hasn’t completely forgotten about us.

It was explained that Nintendo Switch Online will be compatible with Nintendo Switch 2. Additionally, GameCube games will be added to the Expansion Pass, exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2. One of the featured games was Path of Radiance, although a release date for it wasn’t provided.

At launch, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Soul Calibur II and F-Zero GX will be available. These GameCube games will also have “clearer image quality and higher resolution” compared to the original releases.

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

June 15, 2023 News No comments

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…

Fire Emblem Engage: Out Now, Icon Elements & Comic Adaptation!

January 20, 2023 FE Engage, Headliners, News No comments

Today is 20th January, which means Fire Emblem Engage is officially out!

To celebrate the occasion, the official Fire Emblem Twitter shared this stunning artwork.

Also, they sure took their sweet time, but Fire Emblem icons are now available for the Nintendo Switch! However, you will need a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

Starting now, you can redeem FE Engage icon elements via the Mission & Rewards tab, by using Platinum Coins (you can obtain these from playing FE Heroes for instance). There will be 6 sets, available for one week each, beginning from each Friday.

Last but not least, FE Engage is getting a comic adaptation in Japan!

A prologue, which occurs before Alear awakens, will feature in the March issue of Saikyō Jump, available from 3rd Feb. The comic will then properly begin with Chapter 1 in Saikyō Jump’s April issue alongside Shōnen Jump+.

The artist is 今日和老 (Kyou Kazuro).
