Triangle Strategy Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop

Good news for RPG fans! Triangle Strategy, the acclaimed tactical RPG from Square Enix, is back on the Nintendo Switch eShop after a brief, unexplained removal. The game's return follows a several-day absence from the online store.

This popular title, praised 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 attention.

The sudden delisting and subsequent reappearance have sparked speculation. One theory suggests the recent transfer of publishing rights from Nintendo to Square Enix may be the cause. This isn't unprecedented; Square Enix's Octopath Traveler experienced a similar, albeit longer, delisting last year. However, Triangle Strategy's return was much quicker, resolving within four days.

This event underscores the strong relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. This partnership is evident in past releases, including the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (initially a Switch exclusive) and the definitive version of Dragon Quest 11. While Square Enix distributes titles across multiple platforms, its history of console-exclusive releases on Nintendo systems, dating back to the original Final Fantasy on NES, continues to this day, with titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth currently exclusive to PlayStation 5. The return of Triangle Strategy to the Switch eShop is welcome news for fans of both companies.
