Triangle Strategy Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop
Good news for RPG fans! Triangle Strategy is back on the Nintendo Switch eShop after a brief, unexpected removal. The popular Square Enix title's return follows a multi-day absence from the online store.
This tactical RPG, praised for its classic gameplay reminiscent of titles like Fire Emblem, was a significant release for Square Enix. Its strategic unit movement and damage maximization mechanics resonated with players.
Square Enix's recent acquisition of the publishing rights from Nintendo is speculated to be the reason behind the delisting, although no official explanation has been provided. This mirrors a similar, albeit longer, delisting of Octopath Traveler last year. Unlike Octopath Traveler's weeks-long absence, Triangle Strategy's return was swift, taking only four days.
The game's reappearance reinforces the strong relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. This collaboration is evident in past releases, including the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (initially a Switch exclusive) and the original release of Dragon Quest 11 on the Switch. While Square Enix has broadened its release platforms over time, its history of console-exclusive titles, such as the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (currently PlayStation 5 exclusive), continues. The return of Triangle Strategy is welcome news for fans eager to experience this acclaimed title on their Nintendo Switch consoles.
