Return of Legendary Square Enix RPG on 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 possible explanation for 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 turn-based gameplay, draws comparisons to franchises like Fire Emblem, focusing on strategic unit placement and maximizing damage.

Following a four-day absence, Square Enix confirmed the game's return to the eShop via Twitter. While no official reason was given for the initial delisting, speculation points to the aforementioned 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, though its return took considerably longer. Triangle Strategy's swift reappearance is welcome news for fans.

The event highlights the ongoing and fruitful relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. This collaboration is evident in previous releases, such as the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (initially a Switch exclusive) and the definitive edition of Dragon Quest 11. Square Enix's history of 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). The reappearance of Triangle Strategy underscores the enduring partnership between these two gaming giants.
