Triangle Strategy Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop
Good news for RPG fans! 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 players to once again purchase and download this popular tactical RPG.
This return follows Square Enix's recent acquisition of the game's publishing rights from Nintendo, a move speculated to be the reason for the delisting. Triangle Strategy, lauded for its classic tactical RPG gameplay reminiscent of Fire Emblem, has garnered significant attention since its initial release. Its strategic unit maneuvering and emphasis on maximizing damage output have resonated with players.
A Twitter announcement confirmed the game's reappearance on the eShop. While no official explanation was given for the initial removal, the timing coincides with the shift in publishing rights.
This isn't the first time a Square Enix title has experienced a temporary eShop absence. Octopath Traveler faced a similar situation last year, though its return took considerably longer. Triangle Strategy's quicker reappearance is welcome news for fans.
The event underscores the strong ongoing relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. This collaboration has resulted in several Nintendo Switch exclusives, including the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (initially exclusive before wider release) and the definitive version of Dragon Quest 11. Square Enix's history of console exclusives stretches back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES, showcasing a long-lasting partnership with Nintendo. This is further exemplified by the PlayStation 5 exclusive Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
