Square Enix RPG Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop

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 Nintendo Switch players to once again purchase and download this popular tactical RPG. The game, lauded for its classic turn-based gameplay reminiscent of Fire Emblem, had been unavailable for several days.

Square Enix's announcement on Twitter confirmed the game's reappearance. While the reason for the initial delisting remains unconfirmed, speculation points to the recent shift in publishing rights from Nintendo to Square Enix.

This isn't the first time a Square Enix title has experienced a brief eShop absence. Octopath Traveler faced a similar situation last year, though its return took considerably longer. Triangle Strategy's swift reappearance, after only a four-day hiatus, is a welcome relief for fans.

The game's return signifies the positive ongoing 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 edition of Dragon Quest 11. This history of console exclusivity stretches back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES, showcasing a long-standing partnership that continues with titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (currently PlayStation 5 exclusive).
