Path Of Radiance English trailer

Four days ago, Nintendo shaded arguably the best and also most unavailable Fire Emblem game, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, as part of its Nintendo GameCube Classics program, exclusively available on Switch 2.

There was just one problem – there was no English trailer in sight, let alone a confirmation on any of Nintendo of America's official channels.

Four days later, it seems that Nintendo is trying to rectify that, having finally released a full English trailer on its YouTube channel, along with several posts on social media.

Again, it's unclear exactly why Nintendo was so behind the ball when telling fans about the next entry in its highly regarded Nintendo Classics program.

There's been enough time between the Japan reveal and the US reveal that some have already beaten the game.

But the absence was notable, leading some to believe that the company didn't care much about its GameCube Classics line or Fire Emblem.

Nintendo's next big RPG could take the world by storm just like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

GameCube classics have had a strange marketing push

“'Better late than never' upload,” read the top comment on the YouTube trailer.

That level of humor wasn't lost on Twitter either, with one user writing: “A few days in, and now you guys finally released this trailer outside of the Switch 2 online app? Sheesh.”

That said, while Fire Emblem fans were particularly disappointed by the lack of recognition, it's been almost par for the course when it comes to the GameCube Classics program.

You'd be forgiven if you didn't know that Wario World was also available. That game was revealed with a press release and a small trailer in place. Prior to that, Luigi's Mansion was announced via a late-night trailer reveal.

Barring a Wario World-level surprise in between, the next three games yet to be released as part of GameCube Classics are Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness, Pokemon Colosseum, and Mario Sunshine.

The former two could be featured as part of all of Pokemon's 30th anniversary celebrations, but it's definitely safe to assume that Sunshine's eventual inclusion could end up getting the same treatment as every other game to date – nothing.
