Triangle Strategy Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop

RPG enthusiasts can celebrate! Triangle Strategy, the acclaimed Square Enix title, is once again available for purchase on the Nintendo Switch eShop after a temporary removal. This follows a brief delisting that lasted several days.

The game's return is welcome news for fans of classic tactical RPGs. Triangle Strategy, praised for its engaging turn-based combat reminiscent of Fire Emblem, was a significant release for Square Enix. Its strategic gameplay, focusing on unit positioning and maximizing damage, has garnered considerable praise.

Square Enix's recent acquisition of the publishing rights from Nintendo is speculated to be the reason for the delisting, although no official explanation has been provided. This isn't the first time a Square Enix title has experienced a short-lived removal from the eShop; Octopath Traveler faced a similar situation last year. However, Triangle Strategy's return was significantly quicker, with only a four-day absence compared to Octopath Traveler's several-week hiatus.

This event underscores the strong relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. The companies have a long history of collaboration, evident in past releases like the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (initially a Switch exclusive) and the ongoing trend of Square Enix releasing console-exclusive titles on Nintendo platforms. This trend extends back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES and continues with titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (currently PlayStation 5 exclusive) and Dragon Quest XI (initially a Switch exclusive). The reappearance of Triangle Strategy on the Switch eShop reinforces this continued partnership.
