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 move potentially linked to the game's brief unavailability.
Nintendo Switch owners can now readily purchase and download Triangle Strategy from the eShop. The game's return ends a several-day absence, much to the delight of fans.
Triangle Strategy, lauded for its revival of classic tactical RPG gameplay, is a significant release for Square Enix. Its strategic combat, reminiscent of Fire Emblem, involves skillful unit placement to maximize damage.
Square Enix's announcement on Twitter confirmed the game's return after its short absence from the eShop. While the reason for the initial delisting remains unconfirmed, speculation points to the recent transfer of publishing rights from Nintendo to Square Enix.
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. Triangle Strategy's return after only four days is a welcome contrast.
This positive development underscores the strong relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. Their history of collaboration includes console-exclusive releases like the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (initially Switch-exclusive) and highlights Square Enix's continued commitment to the Nintendo platform. This pattern extends back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES, demonstrating a long-standing partnership despite Square Enix's expansion to other platforms. This is further exemplified by the PlayStation 5 exclusivity of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the original Nintendo Switch exclusivity of Dragon Quest XI's definitive edition.
