Nintendo has just announced a new addition to the Gamecube Classics library on Switch 2. Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members can journey to the land of Tellius in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.

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 a paid membership service that offers players a variety of benefits, including collections of classic games for Nintendo GameCube (Nintendo Switch 2 only), Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo 64, plus access to select DL² and Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade packs for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at no additional cost. It also provides access to all the benefits available with a Nintendo Switch Online membership, like online play in compatible games, Nintendo Classics like Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy, and Nintendo Entertainment System, the Nintendo Music smart-device app, GameChat (exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2), and the ability to purchase exclusive items like the Nintendo GameCube controller!
