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 speculated to be the reason for the brief delisting.

The return of Triangle Strategy to the digital storefront allows Switch owners to readily purchase and download the game. The popular tactical RPG, lauded for its classic gameplay reminiscent of Fire Emblem, had been unavailable for several days.

Square Enix's statement on Twitter confirmed the game's reappearance, though the initial delisting remains unexplained. The swift resolution contrasts with the several-week absence of Octopath Traveler from the eShop last year, another Square Enix title experiencing a similar, albeit shorter, removal.

This event underscores the ongoing partnership between Square Enix and Nintendo. The two companies share a long history, exemplified by past collaborations like the Nintendo Switch exclusive release of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (before its multi-platform launch) and the continued trend of Square Enix releasing console exclusives on Nintendo platforms, including the original Final Fantasy on the NES and, more recently, Dragon Quest 11. This positive relationship bodes well for future collaborations, with titles such as Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (currently PlayStation 5 exclusive) potentially hinting at future possibilities.
