Nintendo Switch Online members can access the entire game between May 18 and May 24. Those who are using the 7-day trial can also participate. Also, all progress can be transferred to the full version.

Nintendo is running a new promotion for its Switch Online service. A new free trial is available, giving system users a chance to try out online play as well as classic NES and SNES games. What’s particularly notable is that the trial can be used even if you redeemed a similar one previously.
Once the trial ends, you can purchase a regular subscription to continue accessing features. Plans are in place for one month, three months, and twelve months. There’s also a 12-month Family Membership available.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light receives new SP versions in Famicom Nintendo Switch Online app
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light is celebrating its 30th anniversary today. In honor of the occasion, a treat is now available for Nintendo Switch Online members in Japan.
The Famicom app has updated with a pair of special versions for the game. In the first one, the action picks up right as players are about to trigger a Triangle Attack with Palla, Catria, and Est. The second one begins at the endgame chapter, where Marth must battle Medeus to save the day.
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light never came out in the west, so these bonuses and the game itself aren’t available in North America or Europe. However, if you create a Japanese Nintendo Account and download the Famicom app, you should be able to access them – just without any English.
