Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is the best turn-based RPG on Switch 2
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is the best turn-based RPG available on the Nintendo Switch 2 at the moment, according to a specialized comparison. The game is exclusive to the console, and its main campaign takes about 92 hours to complete, as the same comparison reports.
The article behind this ranking is a list of action RPGs and turn-based RPGs for the Nintendo Switch 2 and the Nintendo Switch. The author says the selection covers only titles released in the last two years, but that rule was not confirmed in an official Nintendo source. The catalog consulted lists 111 JRPGs for Switch 2, including 2026 releases in action and turn-based formats.
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave rests on a single comparison
The ranking of Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave comes from one specialized comparison, and no second source was found for it. That comparison describes the game as exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2, which means players will not find it on the original Switch. It also gives the campaign length of about 92 hours, a figure the search did not check against other pages.

Nintendo eShop filters can help find more RPGs

The tip is presented as a way to discover titles beyond the ones in the list, and it works for both the Switch 2 and the Switch.

Parts of the list that remain unverified
The Nintendo page linked from the source article was not opened during the search, so the titles and the list were not checked one by one against it. The two-year rule for including games was not confirmed in any official source, and no official statement from Nintendo about the list was found. The sources found are comparison websites and third-party listings, and the publication date of the list was not confirmed.
