Fire Emblem Warriors (2017)
In 2017, the first Fire Emblem game graced the Switch with the Dynasty Warriors crossover, Fire Emblem Warriors. This unique blend combines Fire Emblem's strategic team-based gameplay with Dynasty Warriors' exhilarating hack-and-slash action. While the storyline may not be as deep as other Fire Emblem entries, it's a fantastic addition for fans of action-packed gameplay. Developed by Omega Force in collaboration with Team Ninja, known for their work on Ninja Gaiden and Nioh, this game offers a thrilling experience.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses marked a significant milestone for the series. As the first home console release in 12 years and the first mainline entry on the Switch, it became a critical and commercial hit, building on the success of Awakening from seven years prior. Three Houses masterfully balances grand-scale battles and intimate character interactions within a narrative of political and religious conflict. The game offers a rich experience, with time spent in the monastery for training, teaching, and bonding with characters through compelling dialogues. For newcomers, Three Houses is the perfect starting point on the Switch.

In 2020, Nintendo released Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore, an enhanced version of the original Wii U game. This Nintendo-Atlus crossover brings new story content, characters, and music, merging Fire Emblem's weapon triangle system with the vibrant style, dungeon-crawling, and dynamic combat of Atlus's Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series. The story, a playful nod to Japanese pop culture, takes a backseat to the action-packed gameplay.

Nintendo collaborated with Omega Force again to bring us Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, a sequel to the original Fire Emblem Warriors. This game reimagines the story of Three Houses in an alternate timeline where Byleth, the protagonist of Three Houses, becomes the main antagonist. Three Hopes offers a richer integration of Fire Emblem's social and tactical elements with the fast-paced action of Dynasty Warriors.

Fire Emblem Engage is 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 legacy. Engage refines the social and hub mechanics, focusing more on the series' iconic tactical combat, including the reintroduction of the weapon triangle system. The narrative follows Alear, a Divine Dragon, on a quest to collect 12 rings to defeat the Fell Dragon and save Elyos.
