Fire Emblem Warriors (2017)
Fire Emblem Warriors marks the series' debut on the Switch as a crossover with Dynasty Warriors. This game skillfully merges Fire Emblem’s team-based strategy with Dynasty Warriors’ dynamic hack-and-slash action. It's a must-play for action enthusiasts, though its lighter story might not satisfy those deeply invested in Fire Emblem's lore.
Developed by Omega Force, the masterminds behind Dynasty Warriors, in collaboration with Team Ninja, known for Ninja Gaiden and Nioh, this spinoff delivers a unique blend of gameplay.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses (2019)
Fire Emblem: Three Houses stands as a landmark in the series. It was the first home console Fire Emblem game in 12 years, the first mainline entry on Switch, and a critical and commercial success that built on the momentum of Awakening from seven years prior.
This expansive tactical RPG masterfully balances epic battles with intimate moments. The overarching narrative explores politics and religion amid a continental war, while downtime in the monastery allows for training, teaching, exploring, and bonding with characters through engaging dialogues.
Three Houses is the quintessential Fire Emblem experience on Switch, making it the perfect entry point for newcomers.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore (2020)
In 2020, Nintendo released Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore, an enhanced version of the original Wii U game. Encore brings new story content, characters, and music to the mix, combining Fire Emblem’s "weapon triangle" combat with the vibrant style and dungeon-crawling mechanics of Atlus’s Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series.
The narrative is a humorous, exaggerated take on Japanese pop culture, with action taking center stage as in Fire Emblem Warriors.

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes (2023)
Nintendo and Omega Force collaborated once again for Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, the 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 Dynasty Warriors’ fast-paced action, creating a more immersive experience than its predecessor.

Fire Emblem Engage (2023)
Fire Emblem Engage is the latest addition to the series and the second mainline entry on the Switch. It builds on the success of Three Houses while paying homage to the series' history by refining and simplifying the social and hub mechanics, focusing primarily on the tactical combat with the reintroduction of the "weapon triangle" system.
The storyline follows Alear, a Divine Dragon, on a quest to gather 12 rings to defeat the Fell Dragon and save Elyos. Each ring contains the spirit of a past Fire Emblem hero, allowing players to summon legends like Marth, Ike, Celica, and Byleth, linking Engage to the series' rich legacy.
