Square Enix RPG Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop

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 transfer of publishing rights from Nintendo to Square Enix, a move speculated to be the reason for the brief delisting.

The game's return allows Switch owners to once again purchase and download this popular tactical RPG. Known for its classic turn-based combat reminiscent of Fire Emblem, Triangle Strategy garnered significant attention upon its initial release. Its strategic unit placement and damage optimization mechanics resonated with fans of the genre.

Square Enix confirmed the game's return to the eShop via Twitter, ending a four-day absence. This swift resolution contrasts with the several-week delisting experienced by Octopath Traveler last year, another Square Enix title briefly removed from the eShop.

This event highlights the ongoing, positive relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. This collaboration has yielded several Nintendo Switch exclusives, including the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (initially) and the definitive version of Dragon Quest 11. This partnership underscores Square Enix's history of releasing console exclusives, dating back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES, while also branching out to other platforms with titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (currently PlayStation 5 exclusive). The reappearance of Triangle Strategy is welcome news for fans of both companies.
