Summary
- Triangle Strategy, the acclaimed RPG, is back on the Nintendo Switch eShop after a temporary removal, much to the delight of fans.
- Square Enix's recent acquisition of the game's publishing rights from Nintendo is a likely explanation for the brief delisting.
Good news for handheld RPG enthusiasts! Square Enix's popular title, Triangle Strategy, is once again available for purchase and download on the Nintendo Switch eShop. After a several-day absence, fans can now access this acclaimed tactical RPG.
Known for its revival of classic tactical RPG gameplay, Triangle Strategy was a significant release for Square Enix, drawing comparisons to franchises like Fire Emblem. The game's strategic combat, focusing on unit placement and maximizing damage, resonated with players.
Fortunately, following a brief period off the eShop, Triangle Strategy has returned. While Square Enix offered no official explanation for the delisting, speculation points to their recent acquisition of publishing rights from Nintendo.
Triangle Strategy's Return to the Switch eShop
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 Triangle Strategy's absence was significantly shorter—four days compared to Octopath Traveler's several weeks.
The game's reappearance is welcome news for Nintendo Switch owners who appreciate Square Enix titles. This further highlights the strong ongoing relationship between the two companies. Square Enix previously released its Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series as a Switch exclusive before expanding to other platforms.
Square Enix's history of console-exclusive releases extends back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES. While their releases now span multiple platforms, this tradition continues. For example, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth remains a PlayStation 5 exclusive, and the definitive version of Dragon Quest XI initially launched exclusively on the Nintendo Switch.
