Square Enix RPG Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop

Triangle Strategy Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop

RPG enthusiasts can celebrate! Triangle Strategy, the acclaimed Square Enix title, is back on the Nintendo Switch eShop after a temporary removal. The game's brief absence, lasting several days, has ended, allowing fans to once again purchase and download this popular tactical RPG.

The return follows Square Enix's recent acquisition of the game's publishing rights from Nintendo. While no official explanation was given for the delisting, this acquisition is widely speculated as the reason.

Triangle Strategy, lauded for its classic tactical RPG gameplay reminiscent of Fire Emblem, gained significant attention upon its initial release. Its strategic unit placement and damage maximization mechanics resonated with players.

The game's reappearance was announced via Square Enix's Twitter account. This swift return, contrasting with the weeks-long absence of Octopath Traveler from the eShop last year, is welcome news. This incident, however, isn't unprecedented; other Square Enix titles have experienced similar brief delistings.

This event underscores the strong relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. This partnership is evident in past collaborations, including the Nintendo Switch exclusive release of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (before its wider release) and the Switch-exclusive launch of the definitive edition of Dragon Quest 11. Square Enix's history of console exclusives, dating back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES, continues with titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (currently PlayStation 5 exclusive). The return of Triangle Strategy reinforces this ongoing collaboration and provides a positive outlook for future Nintendo Switch releases from Square Enix.
