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 once again available for purchase on the Nintendo Switch eShop after a temporary removal. This follows a short period of unavailability, lasting several days.

The game's return is welcome news for fans of classic tactical RPGs. Triangle Strategy, lauded for its strategic gameplay reminiscent of titles like Fire Emblem, was a significant release for Square Enix, known for its legacy of innovative turn-based RPGs. The game's mechanics focus on strategic unit placement and maximizing damage.

Square Enix's recent acquisition of the publishing rights from Nintendo is speculated to be the reason behind the brief delisting, though no official explanation has been provided. This isn't unprecedented; Octopath Traveler, another popular Square Enix JRPG, experienced a similar, albeit longer, absence from the eShop last year. However, Triangle Strategy's return was significantly faster, resolving within four days.

This event underscores the strong ongoing relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. This collaboration is evident in previous releases, including the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series' initial Switch exclusivity and the Nintendo Switch exclusive release of the definitive version of Dragon Quest 11. The history of Square Enix releasing console exclusives stretches back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES, a tradition that continues with titles like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth (currently PlayStation 5 exclusive).

The reappearance of Triangle Strategy on the Switch eShop is positive news for both Nintendo and Square Enix fans, highlighting their continued partnership and commitment to delivering high-quality RPG experiences.
