Square Enix's RPG Rekindles Switch Adventure

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. The game's brief disappearance, lasting several days, has ended, allowing fans to once again purchase and download the game.

This tactical RPG, lauded for its return to classic Square Enix gameplay, draws comparisons to franchises like Fire Emblem. Its strategic combat, focusing on unit placement and maximizing damage, has garnered significant praise.

The reason for the delisting remains unconfirmed. However, speculation points to Square Enix's recent acquisition of the publishing rights from Nintendo, the game's previous publisher. This isn't unprecedented; Octopath Traveler experienced a similar, albeit longer, absence from the eShop last year.

The swift return of Triangle Strategy—a mere four-day hiatus compared to Octopath Traveler's weeks-long absence—is welcome news for Nintendo Switch players. It underscores the strong relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo, a partnership evident in past releases like the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (initially a Switch exclusive) and the continued trend of Square Enix releasing console exclusives on Nintendo platforms, dating back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES. This trend continues with titles such as Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (currently PlayStation 5 exclusive) and Dragon Quest XI (initially a Switch exclusive).
