Nintendo will launch the strategy role-playing game "Fire Emblem: Three Houses" for the Switch 2 on September 17. The digital version will be priced at 499 Hong Kong dollars (approximately 430 euros), with the physical version costing 549 Hong Kong dollars (approximately 473 euros).

Marking a first for the "Fire Emblem" series, "Fire Emblem: Three Houses" will feature support for a mouse control mode using the Joy-Con controllers. This feature aims to allow players to intuitively and smoothly move units on the battlefield and quickly access useful information. Players will also be able to seamlessly switch between button control and mouse control during gameplay.

The "Fire Emblem" series, developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo, is known for its strategic gameplay. "Fire Emblem: Three Houses" includes various weapon types and attack methods such as swords, gauntlets, spears, axes, bows, and magic. Utilizing special abilities consumes weapon durability. The game also incorporates a rewind feature, allowing players to revert to previous turns if a unit is defeated, potentially making the game more accessible for those less experienced with strategy titles.
