Square Enix RPG Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop

Triangle Strategy Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop

Good news for RPG fans! Triangle Strategy, the critically acclaimed tactical RPG from Square Enix, is back on the Nintendo Switch eShop after a brief, unexplained absence. The game's return follows a delisting that lasted several days, leaving players unable to purchase the title.

Square Enix's popular tactical RPG, drawing comparisons to Fire Emblem, has been lauded for its return to classic turn-based combat. Its strategic unit maneuvering and engaging storyline solidified its place as a noteworthy release.

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 follows a similar, though lengthier, delisting of Octopath Traveler last year. Unlike Octopath Traveler's weeks-long absence, Triangle Strategy's return was swift, resolving the issue within four days.

This event highlights the ongoing, positive relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. This collaboration has resulted in several Nintendo Switch exclusives, including the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (before its multi-platform release) and the original release of Dragon Quest XI. While Square Enix has expanded to other platforms, their history of console exclusives, dating back to the original Final Fantasy on NES, continues with titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (currently PlayStation 5 exclusive). The reappearance of Triangle Strategy on the Switch eShop reinforces this strong partnership and is sure to please Nintendo and Square Enix fans alike.
