Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones gameplay on Nintendo Switch Online. An all-time classic, developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance in 2005.
It’s the eighth game in the Fire Emblem series, but only the second to be released outside of Japan (after Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword, known simply as Fire Emblem in the West).
Unlike other entries in the series, Sacred Stones features a self-contained story with no direct narrative ties to other Fire Emblem games, so get stuck in!
Fun fact: While Sacred Stones was being developed for the GBA, Path of Radiance was simultaneously made for the GameCube. This led to different teams and slightly less ‘innovation’ in the former.
