Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance Added to Nintendo GameCube – Nintendo Classics!
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance is a tactical role-playing game for the Nintendo GameCube released in 2005.
While inheriting the battle system where units defeated in battle do not return, 3D maps and full-voice movies have been added.
The stage is the continent of Tellius, where the Beorc, a race that fights with weapons and wisdom, and the Laguz, a race that fights by transforming their own bodies, coexist.
A cast of unique characters develops a dramatic story.
The protagonist of this work is Ike, who is also known in the Super Smash Bros. series as a user of the Aether special move.
In this game, which marks his first appearance, his journey is depicted as he throws himself into the war as one of the Beorc and acquires his special moves.
