Fortunately, the West can now get their hands on this groundbreaking title as well, as it was finally localized and recently released for Nintendo Switch, though for a short period only (until March 2021).
It was first launched in Japan for the Famicom but was later ported to Nintendo Switch for Japanese fans in 2019. This game not only kickstarted the Fire Emblem franchise but has been credited with popularizing the tactical role-playing genre. Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light was the first Fire Emblem title, and the protagonist was none other than the now fan-favorite Marth.
