Nintendo Switch eShop Welcomes Iconic Square Enix RPG

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 temporary removal. This follows a recent acquisition of publishing rights by Square Enix from Nintendo, a possible reason for the brief delisting.

The return of Triangle Strategy allows Nintendo Switch players to once again purchase and download this popular title. The game, praised for its classic tactical RPG gameplay reminiscent of Fire Emblem, was a significant release for Square Enix. Its strategic unit maneuvering and damage optimization have garnered considerable attention.

Square Enix confirmed the game's return to the eShop via a Twitter statement. While no official explanation was given for the initial delisting, 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 temporary eShop absence. Octopath Traveler faced a similar situation last year, though its removal lasted considerably longer than Triangle Strategy's four-day hiatus.

The swift reappearance of Triangle Strategy is welcome news for Nintendo Switch players. This highlights the ongoing strong relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo, evident in past collaborations like the Nintendo Switch exclusive release of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (before its wider release) and the initial Switch exclusivity of Dragon Quest 11's definitive edition. This trend of console-exclusive titles from Square Enix extends back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES, showcasing a long and fruitful partnership. Even now, titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth remain a PlayStation 5 exclusive.
