Nintendo Kicks Off 2026 With Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance Soundtrack on Nintendo Music and Switch Online
The new year brings exciting news for fans of Nintendo’s celebrated tactical RPGs: the original soundtrack (OST) for Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance is now available through Nintendo’s official music streaming services.
This release marks the first official Nintendo OST launch of 2026 and spotlights a beloved title from the GameCube era.
Developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance first launched in 2005.
It quickly became known for its rich storytelling, memorable characters led by protagonist Ike, and deep strategy gameplay—earning critical acclaim and, over time, becoming a sought-after collector’s item on the aftermarket. Now, Nintendo has made the Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance soundtrack accessible to new generations of fans through its Nintendo Music app and as part of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service.
This move further demonstrates Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to celebrating its musical legacy and enhancing the value proposition for current Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. The newly added soundtrack features an extensive list of tracks, including iconic themes such as “Ike’s Resolution,” “Greil Mercenaries,” “A Mighty Foe,” “Beautiful Princess Elincia,” and the timeless “Fire Emblem Theme.” The collection spans the emotional breadth of the game’s campaign, blending triumphant battle anthems with somber melodies that have become staples in the Fire Emblem franchise. In a statement provided through official Nintendo channels, company representatives reiterated Nintendo’s effort to bring classic gaming experiences to modern audiences: Nintendo stated that expanding their music library enables fans to relive memorable moments and enjoy beloved soundtracks anytime, anywhere, further enriching the Nintendo Switch Online experience. To access the Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance OST, users need an active Nintendo Switch Online membership.
Subscribers can then download the Nintendo Music app on both Android and iOS devices at no added cost, granting instant access to a vast library of soundtracks, including other classic and modern Nintendo titles.
This initiative not only serves longtime enthusiasts but also allows newcomers to explore significant works from Nintendo’s game history. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance continues to occupy a special place in the hearts of strategy and RPG fans, with Ike’s story referenced throughout subsequent series entries and crossover titles.
The OST’s arrival on Nintendo Music and Nintendo Switch Online is both a nod to dedicated fans and a new touchpoint for those discovering the series’ musical richness. For a full listing of available OSTs and future soundtrack releases, fans are encouraged to browse the Nintendo Music app or check the official Nintendo Switch Online hub.
With ongoing additions, Nintendo shows no sign of slowing down its recognition of video game music as a vital part of the overall gaming experience.
