Nintendo Adds Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance to Switch 2 GameCube Classics

The release gives Switch 2 subscribers access to the 2005 strategy RPG, expanding Nintendo’s retro catalog ahead of the next mainline Fire Emblem.

Overview

  • The game is live now exclusively on Switch 2 for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members via the Nintendo GameCube – Nintendo Classics app.
  • Its arrival brings the GameCube library on Switch Online to eight titles, adding to a lineup that includes The Wind Waker, F‑Zero GX, Luigi’s Mansion and Super Mario Strikers.
  • Nintendo also released the Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance soundtrack on the Nintendo Music app to coincide with the launch.
  • GameCube Classics releases run at higher resolution than the originals, and Nintendo offers a wireless controller styled after the GameCube pad for added authenticity.
  • A report notes two regional versions in the NSO app with gameplay differences, and the drop serves as a timely lead‑in to Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave expected later this year.
