Nintendo Switch Online Adds Another Fire Emblem GBA Game
Nintendo has added another classic title to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service. The acclaimed strategy RPG Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones is now available to play through the service’s Game Boy Advance library.
Originally released in 2005, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones marked the second Fire Emblem game to be localized and released outside of Japan. The game follows royal twins Eirika and Ephraim as they each set out across the continent of Magvel on a quest to halt the militant Grado Empire.
As previously mentioned, the Game Boy Advance library is available exclusively as part of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack plan. This premium tier offers all of the features of the base Switch Online plan along with additional perks, including access to select DLC, as well as classic Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games.
A base Switch Online membership costs $20 per year, while an Expansion Pack plan costs $50. Nintendo also offers an annual family plan for $80 that covers up to eight different Nintendo Accounts across multiple systems.
Nintendo regularly expands the Switch Online service with new content and perks. Earlier this month, the company added three more classic Sega games to the Genesis library, while GameCube games are coming to the service exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2.
Switch Online members can also access the exclusive Nintendo Music smartphone app, which lets users listen to a growing collection of Nintendo soundtracks. Coinciding with Sacred Stones’ release, Nintendo Music just added the soundtrack for Fire Emblem Engage, the series’ most recent Switch installment.
