Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones Now Available on Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones is now available to play through Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. The 2004 Game Boy Advance title is the latest to be added to the subscription service.

As announced by Nintendo this week on X (formerly Twitter), Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones is available as part of the Nintendo Switch Online library. The game originally launched in Japan in 2004 and then later came to North America and Europe in 2005.

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones is the eighth game in the series. Separate from the earlier continuity of the franchise, the game takes place within the fictional continent of Magvel where a mounting war between five nations is sparked. This tactical RPG has players use turn-based mechanics to move units across a grid-like battlefield during battles. The game also features a perma-death feature, where if one of your characters falls, they’ll no longer be available for the duration of the game.

Here’s the official description from Nintendo:

From the Ashes of a Fallen Kingdom…

The kingdom of Renais lies in ruins, shattered by a sudden invasion from a former ally. Guide the royal heirs, Eirika and Ephraim, on their twin quest to rebuild Renais and discover the dark secret behind the war that has torn their homeland apart.

Will your cavalier become a paladin, or will he sacrifice speed for power and become a great knight? With multiple class-changes to choose from, how your characters level-up is up to you!

Plan your strategy to take advantage of your strengths and exploit your enemy’s weaknesses. Guide your soldiers carefully—if they fall in battle, they’re gone forever!

The addition of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones expands the list of available Game Boy Advance titles on Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. Since opening the flood gates to titles from the beloved handheld, Nintendo added titles like Wario Land 4 and more.

An annual subscription to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack is available for $63.99 in Canada. Nintendo also offers a 12-month Family Membership, including up to eight accounts, for $99.99.
