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 back on the Nintendo Switch eShop after a temporary removal. This follows a recent acquisition of publishing rights by Square Enix from Nintendo, a move that may explain the brief delisting.

The return of Triangle Strategy allows Switch players to once again purchase and download this popular tactical RPG. Known for its classic turn-based gameplay reminiscent of Fire Emblem, Triangle Strategy offers strategic unit maneuvering and high damage potential.

Following a four-day absence, Square Enix confirmed the game's return via Twitter. While the reason for the initial delisting remains unconfirmed, speculation points to the aforementioned rights transfer. This isn't unprecedented; Octopath Traveler experienced a similar, albeit longer, removal last year.

This event highlights the ongoing, positive relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. Past collaborations include the Switch-exclusive release of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (before its multi-platform launch) and the Nintendo Switch exclusive release of Dragon Quest XI. This continued partnership benefits Nintendo fans who appreciate Square Enix's high-profile titles on their console. The history of Square Enix releasing console exclusives, dating back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES, continues with titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (currently PlayStation 5 exclusive).
