Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones Joins Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack
Nintendo has added *Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones* to the Game Boy Advance library available through the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription.
Originally released in Japan on October 7, 2004, and in the U.S. on May 23, 2005, *The Sacred Stones* follows royal siblings Eirika and Ephraim as they fight to restore their war-torn kingdom of Renais. The game retains the series’ classic strategy RPG mechanics and is now available through the GBA app for Expansion Pack members.
Nintendo Switch Online offers two tiers:
– **Base tier** ($19.99/year) includes online multiplayer and classic NES, SNES, and Game Boy titles.
– **Expansion Pack** ($49.99/year) adds access to Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis, and Game Boy Advance games, along with DLC for select titles.
With the Nintendo Switch 2 launching on June 5, Expansion Pack subscribers will also gain access to GameCube classics like *The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker* and *F-Zero GX*. All retro titles released up to that point, including *The Sacred Stones*, will carry over to the new system.
Nintendo continues to expand its retro library monthly, with more classic titles expected ahead of the Switch 2 launch.
