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. This follows a recent acquisition of publishing rights by Square Enix from Nintendo, a move speculated to be the reason for the brief delisting.

The return of Triangle Strategy allows Nintendo Switch players to once again purchase and download this popular tactical RPG. Known for its classic turn-based gameplay, reminiscent of Fire Emblem, Triangle Strategy quickly gained recognition upon its initial release. The game's strategic unit maneuvering and damage optimization mechanics captivated players.

Following a four-day absence, Square Enix confirmed Triangle Strategy's return to the eShop via a Twitter announcement. While no official explanation was given for the delisting, the timing coincides with Square Enix's assumed acquisition of publishing rights. This isn't unprecedented; Octopath Traveler experienced a similar, albeit longer, delisting last year.

This event underscores the strong relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. Past collaborations include the Nintendo Switch exclusive release of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (before its wider release) and other notable titles. Square Enix's history of console-exclusive releases, dating back to the original Final Fantasy on NES, continues with titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (currently PlayStation 5 exclusive) and Dragon Quest XI (initially a Nintendo Switch exclusive). The swift return of Triangle Strategy further solidifies this ongoing partnership.
