Triangle Strategy Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop

Fans of tactical RPGs can rejoice! Triangle Strategy, the critically acclaimed Square Enix title, is once again available for purchase on the Nintendo Switch eShop after a short-lived delisting. The game's return follows a several-day absence from the online store.

This popular title, lauded for its revival of classic tactical RPG gameplay, draws comparisons to franchises like Fire Emblem. Its strategic unit maneuvering and damage optimization have garnered significant praise.

The reason for the game's temporary removal remains unconfirmed. However, speculation points to Square Enix's recent acquisition of the publishing rights from Nintendo. This isn't the first time a Square Enix game has been briefly delisted; Octopath Traveler experienced a similar situation last year. However, Triangle Strategy's return was significantly quicker, lasting only four days compared to Octopath Traveler's several-week absence.

This development is positive news for fans of both Square Enix and Nintendo. The companies have a long and collaborative history, exemplified by the Nintendo Switch exclusivity of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (before its multi-platform release) and other titles. This enduring partnership underscores Square Enix's continued commitment to Nintendo consoles, a relationship stretching back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES. While Square Enix now releases games across multiple platforms, the console exclusivity of titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (PlayStation 5) and the original release of Dragon Quest XI (Nintendo Switch) highlights the ongoing significance of Nintendo in their release strategy.
