Nintendo has announced that Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance has been added to the Nintendo GameCube – Nintendo Classics catalog. A trailer showing some short gameplay sections and cutscenes was also released. In the game, players “command new units and familiar favorites, including shape-shifting laguz and spear-wielding wyvern riders, in lush 3-D battles.”

The game’s details:

Dark days are rising…

War has engulfed the land of Tellius, where human beorc and half-human laguz view each other with mistrust. When a surprise invasion triggers a worldwide conflict, a sinister force emerges from the shadows and pits the two against one another. Only a young mercenary named Ike and his small band of soldiers-for-hire stand between Tellius and madness.

Command new units and familiar favorites, including shape-shifting laguz and spear-wielding wyvern riders, in lush 3-D battles.
Master strategy, steel, and sorcery to guide Ike and his forces to victory and restore peace to the seven kingdoms.
Customize your units with combat skills like Deadeye, but guide them carefully—if they fall in battle, they’re gone forever!

Nintendo added Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack GameCube app library for Switch 2 owners, and its soundtrack is now on the Nintendo Music app included with that higher tier of the subscription service. This is the first of the two Tellius games, as the second continued the story on the Wii in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. 

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance is the sole GameCube entry in the series. It follows Ike and Soren of the Greil Mercenaries as the two work within Crimea, but King Ashnard of Daein invading the country, leaving its Princess Elincia as a fugitive attempting to get to Gallia. Upon the mercenary company encountering her, they get pulled into and lead the charge to unite people against Ashnard’s forces and restore peace. It’s notable for being the first game in the series with Laguz characters. Two versions are in the NSO app, with the US one altering some classes and having different difficulty. 

Here’s the Japanese trailer showing what you can expect from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance when playing it on a Switch 2.

With the original Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn appeared, it would be possible to bring your GameCube save file over to the Wii. This would allow things like stats and relationships to transfer over.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance is on the GameCube and is now available on the Switch 2 for Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack subscribers. Other additions to that library included Chibi Robo.
