Square Enix RPG Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop

Triangle Strategy Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop

Fans of tactical RPGs can rejoice! Triangle Strategy, the acclaimed Square Enix title, is once again available for purchase on the Nintendo Switch eShop after a short-lived delisting. The game's return follows a multi-day absence from the digital storefront.

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

The reason for the game's temporary removal remains unconfirmed. However, speculation points to Square Enix's recent acquisition of the publishing rights from Nintendo. This isn't the first time a Square Enix game has experienced a brief delisting; 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 underscores the strong relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. This collaboration is evident in past releases, including the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series' initial Switch exclusivity, and continues with titles like the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (currently PlayStation 5 exclusive) and the Nintendo Switch-exclusive version of Dragon Quest XI. Square Enix's history of releasing console exclusives, dating back to the original Final Fantasy on NES, highlights their ongoing commitment to Nintendo platforms.
