Nintendo has kept true to its random mid-week Nintendo Switch Online drops today dropping one of the most iconic GameBoy Advance games on the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.
This is regarded as one of the best Fire Emblem games. It was released in 2004 and it’s set in a separate continuity from earlier Fire Emblem games.
Here’s how Nintendo describe it:
The kingdom of Renais lies shattered by a sudden invasion! Use cunning strategy to guide the royal heirs Eirika and Ephraim on their twin quest to rebuild Renais. Take advantage of your strengths and exploit your enemy’s weaknesses, but be careful: if a soldier perishes on the battlefield, they’re gone forever! In a world of dragons and magic, you must always be ready for battle.
Take advantage of the terrain and the weapon in your hand, and attack enemies either from afar using magic or up close with your sword. Each weapon has its own strength and weakness, so choose wisely when attacking your opponent, because you don’t want to be caught off guard.
Build the perfect army. Do you want a pegasus rider or a wyvern rider? An assassin or a rogue? Upgrade your troops to different classes, each with their own skills and weapons, and save the land from the forces of darkness!
