The new entry runs at a "locked" 30fps. Although this falls short of other first-party titles on Switch 2 (with games such as Mario Kart World running at 60fps), it's still described as being an improvement on the Switch title Fire Emblem Engage,

Round Up: The Reviews For Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Are In
The new Awakening? With Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave launching later this week on 17th September, the review embargo has now lifted. You can check what we think in our 8/10 review, in which Jim Norman called it "dense, deep, and really rather delightful", praising the battle controls, protagonists, and side quests, but noting that the pacing is a bit off.
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave review
I cannot remember the last time I put this many hours into a game for a review. And still, I'm sitting here, writing this, itching to play more of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. Despite some odd decisions for an RPG of this depth and scale - a single save slot and diluted difficulty, to name two - I haven't played a game that has captivated and fascinated me like this in years. This is Fire Emblem at its peak, a game as sharp and satisfying as Awakening on the 3DS, with character work and story a

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Is The Series’ New Peak
Even for a series known for its sprawling scope, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is ambitious. Nintendo and developer Intelligent Systems clearly approached this latest entry in the series having learned from its success in Three Houses, its missteps in Engage, and even some of the series' historical oddities. Fortune's Weave rewards those craving both deep interconnected stories and intricate, interlocking RPG systems in equal measure, creating a new high-water mark for the series. The structure o
Review: Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave (Switch 2) - Dense, Delightful Strategy Overstuffed With Heroes
Da Mina's Touch. Let's see if this setup rings any bells. The world is on the brink of collapse at the hands of a demon king and his armies of underworld minions. To save it, a hero of legend must recruit four Divine Beasts Flame Lords to strengthen their attack and bring the fight to the big bad, all while navigating an enemy-filled fantasy land and countless instances of weapon degradation. Feels familiar, no? Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave has a hefty dose of Breath of the Wild in its narrative
Nintendo opens up Fire Emblem with the gigantic Fortune’s Weave
Nintendo has gotten quite good at making open-ended games. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild upended the idea of what a Zelda game could be by giving the player free rein to tackle any part of the map, a philosophy iterated upon with Tears of the Kingdom. On the Switch 2 this idea expanded to Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza. Now, Nintendo has brought this philosophy to Fire Emblem with Fortune's Weave. It works really well; with its many ways to progress through the game and tailo
Think Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave's Hero Roster Is Big? It Was Almost Even Bigger

Don't sleep on Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave mouse controls - believe it or not, it's become my favourite way to play
Earlier this year, Pokopia convinced me that the Switch 2's gimmicky mouse controls were a worthwhile addition to the console, after all. Since then, I've been trying out other games with the mouse as my primary method of control. My favourites, before I picked up Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, were Nobunaga's Ambition: Awakening and Balatro. There's just something more satisfying about clicking to select units, or dragging and dropping cards, than there is using the D-pad.

20 hours in, I cannot believe the scale, complexity, and ambition of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is massive. If you're coming to Intelligent Systems' Switch 2 RPG after playing even Three Houses or Engage, you're going to be shocked by the scale of it. Within the first 10 hours of the game, you are given choices that show you just how broad the scope of the game is. As you play, more avenues open up before you in concertina, a bafflingly complex bloom of consequence, intrigue, and narrative that blossoms and blossoms.
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave – The Final Preview
There are plenty of ways that Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is building out the features that defined Three Houses. I remain very interested to see how your decisions in the past will have an effect on characters teaming up in the present timeline, and I’m more excited than ever to see each of the story paths to completion to see how they’ll help me turn the tides and save the world from its ultimate destruction.
Preview: Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Dials The 'Three Houses Formula' Up To 11
What's next? FOUR Houses?? Here's a take that feels colder and colder the further away we get from release: I preferred Fire Emblem Engage to Three Houses. Insubordination of the highest degree to some, for sure, but I'm a combat-first boi — I'll take a Weapons Triangle over a love triangle every day of the week — so all of Three Houses' storylines, character interactions, and time management gubbins always felt like they were getting in the way of the real meat and potatoes, for me.
