Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance joins Nintendo Classics

Dateline: 1/8/2026

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance is now available on Switch through the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service.

From Nintendo:

Welcome to the Greil Mercenaries! Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members can journey to the land of Tellius in the Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance game – available now as part of the Nintendo GameCube – Nintendo Classics library for the Nintendo Switch 2 system.

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.
