Nintendo's newest Fire Emblem entry, Fortune's Weave, arrives this week as a Switch 2 exclusive, weaving four overlapping character storylines set in the region of Dagda and its capital, Dagsion. The game opens with a time-traveling ambassador before shifting into tales of four flawed protagonists whose ambitions and grudges drive gladiatorial battles and city-wide side quests.
Nintendo has released Fortune's Weave, a new Fire Emblem title that adopts the open-ended structure recently seen in Zelda, Mario Kart World, and Donkey Kong Bananza. The game lets players choose between four hero routes before converging into a final act, allowing them to switch storylines freely and even combine character stats across playthroughs to build powerful hybrid units.
Nintendo held two back-to-back presentations this week: a Zelda-focused showcase confirming the Switch 2 Ocarina of Time remake will launch November 5th, followed by a roughly 45-minute Direct covering Switch 2 titles arriving mostly this winter. Announced releases include Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave on September 17th and Nintendo Switch Sports Resort on October 22nd, while new Pokémon and Xenoblade entries were confirmed for 2027 without specific dates.
Nintendo has confirmed a pair of streaming events next week: a 30-minute special on September 8 marking The Legend of Zelda's 40th anniversary, followed by a standard 45-minute Nintendo Direct on September 9. Both start at 10AM ET. The Zelda stream is expected to focus heavily on the previously announced Ocarina of Time remake, while the general Direct will likely cover upcoming releases like Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave and Nintendo Switch Sports Resort.
