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 brief, unexplained removal. The game's return follows a multi-day absence, allowing players to once again purchase and download the title.
This popular Square Enix title, lauded for its classic tactical RPG gameplay reminiscent of Fire Emblem, was previously delisted from the eShop. Speculation points towards Square Enix's recent acquisition of publishing rights from Nintendo as the reason for the temporary removal, although no official explanation has been provided. This isn't the first time a Square Enix title has experienced a short-lived delisting; Octopath Traveler faced a similar situation last year. However, Triangle Strategy's return was significantly faster, taking only four days compared to Octopath Traveler's weeks-long absence.
The game's reappearance is welcome news for Nintendo Switch owners and fans of Square Enix's titles. This further highlights the strong and ongoing relationship between the two companies, a partnership evident in previous collaborations such as the Nintendo Switch exclusive release of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (before its wider release on other platforms).
Square Enix's history of releasing console exclusives, dating back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES, continues today. Titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (currently PlayStation 5 exclusive) and the definitive edition of Dragon Quest XI (initially a Nintendo Switch exclusive) demonstrate this ongoing trend.
