Here’s a quick update for my fellow SRPG fans – Nintendo has seemingly shadow dropped the 2005 classic Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance for its NSO subscription service. As with all GameCube titles on Switch 2, this will require the “Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack” tier.
This is actually great news for me, because I’ve had my eye on this game for some time and now I don’t have to shell out a small fortune for a physical copy. Plus, this release might actually lead to lower prices for the original game. I’m not too hopeful about that last part, but we’ll see. At least I have something to play this weekend.
Nintendo has also released a short trailer for this release. Check it out below.
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
This installment of the classic strategy role-playing series Fire Emblem was released for the Nintendo GameCube system in 2005. Fully-voiced cutscenes and 3D maps accompany the return of the brutal battle system where your units are gone for good if they fall in a fight! On the continent of Tellius, two races (the human beorc and the half-human laguz) have built a history of strife, mistrust, and compromise. Now, sinister forces emerge from the shadows to pit the two groups against each other. Follow the protagonist Ike and a colorful cast of characters as this grand drama unfolds around them. Dark days are rising…
