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 shift in publishing rights from Nintendo to Square Enix, a move that may explain the brief delisting.

The return of Triangle Strategy allows Switch owners to once again purchase and download this popular tactical RPG. The game, lauded for its revival of classic Square Enix gameplay, draws comparisons to franchises like Fire Emblem, emphasizing strategic unit placement for optimal combat effectiveness.

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 towards the recent publishing rights transfer from Nintendo to Square Enix.

This isn't the first time a Square Enix title has experienced a short-lived eShop absence; Octopath Traveler faced a similar situation last year. However, Triangle Strategy's return was significantly faster, highlighting a smoother resolution compared to Octopath Traveler's several-week hiatus.

This positive development underscores the strong relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. The companies have a long history of collaboration, exemplified by the Switch-exclusive release of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (before its multi-platform launch) and other notable titles. This enduring partnership continues with titles like the PlayStation 5 exclusive Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the originally Switch-exclusive Dragon Quest XI Definitive Edition. The return of Triangle Strategy further reinforces this ongoing collaboration.
