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, praised for its return to traditional turn-based combat, draws comparisons to franchises like Fire Emblem, focusing on strategic unit placement for optimal damage.
Square Enix's recent acquisition of the game's publishing rights from Nintendo is speculated to be the reason for the delisting, although no official explanation has been provided. This isn't the first time a Square Enix title has been briefly removed from the eShop; Octopath Traveler experienced a similar, though longer, absence last year.
The swift return of Triangle Strategy—a mere four-day hiatus—contrasts with Octopath Traveler's several-week absence. This highlights the strong and ongoing relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. This collaboration is evident in past releases, such as the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series' initial Switch exclusivity and the Nintendo Switch exclusive release of the definitive version of Dragon Quest 11. Square Enix's history of releasing console exclusives, dating back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES, continues to this day, with titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth currently exclusive to PlayStation 5.
