Square Enix RPG Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop

Triangle Strategy Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop

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

This critically acclaimed game is a modern take on classic tactical RPG gameplay, drawing comparisons to franchises like Fire Emblem. Its strategic combat, focusing on unit placement and maximizing damage, has garnered significant praise.

Square Enix's recent acquisition of the publishing rights from Nintendo is widely believed to be the reason for the delisting, though no official explanation was given. This isn't the first time a Square Enix title has experienced a brief removal from the eShop; Octopath Traveler faced a similar situation last year. However, Triangle Strategy's return was significantly quicker, resolving within just four days.

The game's reappearance underscores the strong relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. This collaboration has resulted in several Nintendo Switch exclusives, including the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (initially) and the definitive version of Dragon Quest 11. This continued partnership benefits both companies and, most importantly, Nintendo Switch players. The history of Square Enix releasing console exclusives dates back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES, a trend that persists today with titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (currently PlayStation 5 exclusive).
