Marking 35 years since Intelligent Systems launched the Fire Emblem series on Nintendo's Famicom, the franchise has grown into a cornerstone of tactical RPGs. Its evolving combat and deep character-bonding mechanics have led to two standout mainline titles on the Nintendo Switch.
As the original Switch era draws to a close, here’s a rundown of all Fire Emblem games currently on the console, plus what’s slated for the Switch 2.
How Many Fire Emblem Games Are Available on Switch?
The Nintendo Switch hosts five Fire Emblem titles: two mainline entries and three spinoffs. Additionally, two Fire Emblem games are accessible via Nintendo Switch Online, with a third expected for the Switch 2 in June.

Fire Emblem Warriors (2017)
The debut Fire Emblem title on Switch, Fire Emblem Warriors, is a crossover with Dynasty Warriors. This blend merges Fire Emblem’s strategic teamwork with Dynasty Warriors’ fast-paced, hack-and-slash combat. It’s a solid pick for action enthusiasts, though its lightweight story may not captivate those focused on Fire Emblem’s lore.
Developed by Omega Force, known for Dynasty Warriors, alongside Team Ninja’s action expertise (Ninja Gaiden, Nioh).

Fire Emblem: Three Houses (2019)
Fire Emblem: Three Houses marked a turning point for the series. As the first Fire Emblem title on a home console in over a decade and the first mainline Switch release, it built on Awakening’s success with critical and commercial acclaim.
This expansive tactical RPG balances epic battles with intimate moments. Large-scale conflicts drive a narrative of politics and religion across a continental war, while quieter monastery scenes focus on training, teaching, exploration, and character bonding through richly written dialogue.
Three Houses represents Fire Emblem at its peak, making it the ideal entry point for newcomers to the series on Switch.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore (2020)
In 2020, Nintendo launched Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore, an enhanced port of the Wii U original. This Nintendo-Atlus crossover adds new storylines, characters, and music, blending Fire Emblem’s “weapon triangle” combat—where swords beat axes, axes beat lances, and lances beat swords—with the vibrant style, dungeon exploration, and dynamic battles of Atlus’s Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series.
Its story, a playful take on Japanese pop culture, prioritizes action over narrative depth, much like its Warriors predecessor.

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes (2023)
Nintendo and Omega Force reunited for Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, their second Fire Emblem-Dynasty Warriors crossover. Set in an alternate timeline where Three Houses’ protagonist Byleth is the central antagonist, this title deepens the integration of Fire Emblem’s social and tactical elements with Dynasty Warriors’ high-energy combat.

Fire Emblem Engage (2023)
Fire Emblem Engage, the latest in the series and the second mainline Switch title, refines Three Houses’ social and hub elements while emphasizing the series’ hallmark tactical combat, including the return of the “weapon triangle” system.
The story centers on Alear, a Divine Dragon tasked with gathering 12 rings to defeat the Fell Dragon and save Elyos. These rings, each containing the spirit of a past Fire Emblem hero like Marth, Ike, Celica, or Byleth, tie the new narrative to the series’ legacy.
