Nintendo has announced Nintendo Switch Online has added Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance to its growing roster of games this month.

Nintendo Switch Online has added Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance as the latest classic release. The classic action game was released for GameCube back in 2005 and has never been re-released – until now.

In Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance – originally released for the Nintendo GameCube system in 2005 – dark days are rising. Two races, the human beorc and the half-human laguz, share a history of strife, mistrust, and uneasy compromise. Now, sinister forces have emerged from the shadows to shatter the fragile peace, pitting the two against each other. Only the young mercenary Ike and his colorful band of soldiers-for-hire stand between Tellius and chaos.

Experience the classic strategy role-playing mechanics Fire Emblem is known for in this beloved installment. Players can enjoy cutscenes with voice acting and 3D maps alongside the return of the brutal battle system, where your units are gone for good if they fall in a fight. So, choose your party members wisely, prepare them for combat by equipping weapons and skills, and issue orders to complete each map’s objective with minimal losses.

Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack is part of their subscription service. It adds classic NES, SNES, Game Boy, Sega Gensis, Nintendo 64, and Nintendo GameCube games. Virtual Boy games are coming in 2026.
