Triangle Strategy Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop
Fans of tactical RPGs can rejoice! Triangle Strategy, the acclaimed Square Enix title, is back on the Nintendo Switch eShop after a brief, unexplained removal. The game's return follows a multi-day absence from the digital storefront.
This popular Square Enix title, praised for its classic tactical RPG gameplay reminiscent of Fire Emblem, was previously delisted. Speculation points to Square Enix's recent acquisition of publishing rights from Nintendo as the likely cause of the temporary removal, though no official explanation has been provided. This mirrors a similar, albeit longer, delisting experienced by Octopath Traveler last year.
The swift return of Triangle Strategy—a mere four-day absence compared to Octopath Traveler's weeks-long hiatus—is welcome news for Nintendo Switch owners. This event underscores the ongoing and fruitful relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. This collaboration is evident in past releases, including the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series' initial Switch exclusivity and the Nintendo Switch-exclusive launch of the definitive version of Dragon Quest 11. While Square Enix's titles eventually reach other platforms, the company'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 PlayStation 5 exclusive.
