Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave launched this week on Switch 2, becoming the console's first major fall exclusive. A viral Walmart discount workaround shared by gaming influencer Wario64 inadvertently caused a banana shortage when fans discovered adding bananas to their carts helped apply a $10 savings code, leading to sold-out physical game copies and depleted banana stock online.
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave introduces guns as a new weapon type, mechanically functioning as gauntlet weapons that increase evasion. The narrative appeal comes from guns being the standard-issue weapon for healers like the character Troy, a priest who embodies the 'I'm a healer but' meme, highlighted in a memorable cutscene where she uses guns to defeat an enemy.
