Here we go again: A new Fire Emblem game is garnering glowing reviews, and I’m thinking this could be the one that finally clicks with me. Launching tomorrow on Switch 2, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave<\/a> sits at a fantastic 89 metascore (at the time of publication) on GameSpot’s sister site Metacritic<\/a>. That’s good enough to place it No. 13 currently on Metacritic’s list for best games of 2026<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition, GameSpot’s Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave review<\/a> says this is “the new high point to beat for future entries.” As someone who didn’t plan to buy the strategy RPG, I’m now second-guessing myself. I have a history of buying well-reviewed Fire Emblem games, trying them out for maybe five hours, and then bouncing off them for something else. That was especially true of Fire Emblem: Three Houses<\/a> on Switch in 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before that, my first foray into the series came in 2013 with Fire Emblem Awakening<\/a> on the Nintendo 3DS, if you don\u2019t consider me maining Marth in Super Smash Bros. Melee. This is a game I still have downloaded on my 3DS XL, which sits in the drawer of my bedside table. I’ve tried so many times to engage with the game, only to stop after a couple of hours. Once again, I don’t dislike the turn-based action, but for some reason, it never fully connects. I’m obviously in the minority, because Fire Emblem Awakening basically saved the entire series<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Those previous encounters with the Fire Emblem franchise had me ignoring Fortune’s Weave, until now. I see the high praise for the Switch 2 exclusive and feel like I might be missing out on an amazing game. Sure, I’m currently in the middle of playing Blasphemous<\/a> and have Final Fantasy 7 Remake<\/a> waiting for me after picking it up on sale. But what if Fortune’s Weave is the Fire Emblem game that finally, finally<\/em> resonates with me?<\/p>\n

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave launches tomorrow, September 17, on Switch 2.\u00a0<\/p>\n
