Square Enix RPG Reinvents Nintendo Switch Experience

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 acquisition of publishing rights by Square Enix from Nintendo, a possible explanation for the brief delisting.

The return of Triangle Strategy allows Switch owners to once again purchase and download this popular tactical RPG. Known for its classic turn-based gameplay reminiscent of Fire Emblem, Triangle Strategy received significant praise upon its initial release. Its strategic unit maneuvering and damage optimization mechanics captivated players.

Following a four-day absence, Square Enix confirmed Triangle Strategy's return to the eShop via a Twitter announcement. While the reason for the delisting remains officially unstated, the recent shift in publishing rights from Nintendo to Square Enix is widely speculated as the cause.

This isn't the first time a Square Enix title has experienced a temporary eShop removal. Octopath Traveler faced a similar situation last year, though its absence lasted considerably longer. The swift return of Triangle Strategy, however, suggests a smoother resolution this time.

This event underscores the ongoing and positive relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. The companies have a long history of collaboration, evident in past releases like the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (initially a Switch exclusive) and the Nintendo Switch exclusive release of the definitive version of Dragon Quest 11. While Square Enix's titles now appear on multiple platforms, the company's tradition of releasing console exclusives, dating back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES, continues with titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (currently PlayStation 5 exclusive).
