Square Enix RPG Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop

Triangle Strategy Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop

Fans of tactical RPGs can rejoice! Triangle Strategy, the critically acclaimed Square Enix title, is once again available for purchase on the Nintendo Switch eShop after a brief, unexpected delisting. The game's return follows a several-day absence from the online store.

This popular title, lauded for its revival of classic tactical RPG gameplay, drew comparisons to franchises like Fire Emblem. Its strategic unit placement and damage maximization mechanics resonated with players.

The reason for the delisting remains unconfirmed. However, speculation points to Square Enix's recent acquisition of the game's publishing rights from Nintendo. This isn't the first time a Square Enix game has experienced a temporary eShop removal; Octopath Traveler faced a similar situation last year. However, Triangle Strategy's return was significantly quicker, lasting only four days compared to Octopath Traveler's several-week absence.

This development is positive news for Nintendo Switch owners and fans of Square Enix's output. The company's relationship with Nintendo is long-standing, evidenced by past console exclusives like the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (initially Switch-exclusive) and the definitive version of Dragon Quest 11. This history stretches back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES, highlighting a continued, albeit evolving, partnership between the two companies. While Square Enix's releases now span multiple platforms, titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (currently PlayStation 5 exclusive) demonstrate the ongoing trend of console exclusivity.
