Hopefully Sacred Stones is just around the corner! That game was my favorite, just behind Pokémon Emerald!

Oh hell yes, saves me from having to buy a phyisical copy lol

The only Fire Emblem game I’ve liked of the three I’ve played (This one, Awakening, Three Houses). The latter two were so braindead and dumbed down that I quickly dropped them.
I love the variety of objectives, creative maps, the challenge and the story was very good. Maybe I’ll play it again!!

On one hand; darn, there goes the N64/GBA-on-alternating-months pattern.
On the other; hell yes, THIS is the GBA game I’ve been waiting for. The only downside is having to trudge through the Lyn Mode tutorial again…

Yes! Add sacred stone and I’m 100% getting the expansion pack

Even when it’s a good game, these single game drops feel lame to me. Theyre fucking tiny roms. Why don’t we have the likes of metroid zero mission or Kirby nightmare in dreamland yet

My all-time favourite video game. I love it so much.

I remember playing this in highschool and getting to the final boss and realizing I was unprepared ☠️

How’s this game hold up? I like strategy games but I feel like I’m awful at Fire Emblem games.

I’ve never played any of these fire emblem games. Based on others comments I may have to try it out.

Ive been meaning to try fire emblem

Golden sun? Switch has enough fire emblem for fucks sake

As much as I hate drip feeding the content (even though it makes sense business wise), at least Nintendo is much more consistent now on monthly updates for NSO games.
arcadebee
Every time I see news about this I think Golden Sun is finally here. Please Nintendo how much longer do we have to wait 😭
depwnz
Cant wait to wreck everything with Hector the best lord ever
markpl0x
Wish we could immediatly do Lyn hard mode 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I wanna give the damn knight crest to Sain
Japan got Sealed Sword too. It really sucks that game was never localized… 🙁
Airy_Breather
Well, isn’t this one hell of a happy surprise!

One of the best in the series, this is the game that got me into the franchise. Love the sprite art and animations. Oh and definitely not as anime-tropey as the more recent games have been, which is a huge plus for me

Although it would be nice to get an official NA release for The Binding Blade, just letting anyone who might not have played it yet know that you’re really not missing too much.
It’s a very mediocre rehash of the first game, with the blandest cast (people who know Roy only because of Smash are always so disappointed lol). Blazing Blade is muuuuch better.
​
However… this does not bode well to the “NSO is a good opportunity to localize Mother 3” theory.

So this is what Fire Emblem was like before things got weird.

Literally every gba game I start emulating on my steamdeck comes to the service lol.
Any requests?

Don’t you love buying the original, then getting the WiiU port, and finally being shafted with a payment per period plan?

A great game. I just finished a Hector Hard Mode run recently so it is likely gonna be a while before I come back around to FE7 however. I tend to float around between FE games, and am in a Radiant Dawn one atm.
SirEnder2Me
I was super excited about Fire Emblem on NSO+ but it took so long that not only did I give up and just buy a 2nd hand copy, but I also dumped the ROM to play it on my Steam Deck. I don’t need this anymore lol. Took way too long.

I came REAL close to buying this at my local used game shop, thank God I passed.
Spare_Entrance_9389
Yes :O
fe_bigdata
Great game but one of the downsides is that a lot of features are locked behind clearing a first playthrough. Specifically, it has a non-optional tutorial, and that you can’t access Hard mode (or Hector mode) until you’ve beaten it. Curious if there will be some way around this
PonytaQueen
Finally!!!!! Ive been wanting to play this game for awhile!
For “Fire Emblem: Blazing Blade”, if you have the data from clearing ” Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade”, select “Extras” from the menu screen and select “Load ‘The Binding Blade'” to retrieve your own “The Binding Blade”. You can read the clear data of After that, you can see changes when you start the game from the beginning, or see a special ending.
In addition, when two people communicate locally or play online, you can read the clear data of the opponent’s “Binding Blade” from your own “Blazing Blade” between the two consoles.

just wondering have they added final fantasy tactics advance (the one with marche) in any switch store? us or eu or asia?
dannyphantomfan38
for those who have/make a Japanese nso account, fire emblem the binding blade will be added to Japanese nso alongside the Japanese version of this fire emblem game, and no, binding blade is not getting translated and/or getting added to English nso, it will be Japanese nso exclusive
Mizerous
Sacred Stones next

I was completely obsessed with this game.

Interlocking elements of the two works
