Square Enix RPG Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop

Triangle Strategy Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop

Good news for RPG fans! Triangle Strategy, the acclaimed tactical RPG from Square Enix, is back on the Nintendo Switch eShop after a temporary removal. The game's brief delisting, lasting several days, has ended, allowing players to once again purchase and download the title.

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

Triangle Strategy, praised for its classic tactical RPG gameplay reminiscent of Fire Emblem, has been a notable release for Square Enix. Its return is welcome news, highlighting the continued strong relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. This collaboration has yielded several notable exclusives, including the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (initially a Switch exclusive) and the definitive version of Dragon Quest 11. This partnership reflects a long history, dating back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES, showcasing Square Enix's continued commitment to Nintendo platforms, despite also releasing titles on other consoles. The PlayStation 5 exclusive Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the initially Switch-exclusive Dragon Quest XI exemplify this strategy of platform diversification.
