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 acquisition of publishing rights by Square Enix from Nintendo, a move that may explain the brief delisting.
The return of Triangle Strategy to the eShop allows Nintendo Switch players to once again purchase and download this popular tactical RPG. The game, lauded for its classic turn-based gameplay reminiscent of Fire Emblem, had been unavailable for several days.
Square Enix's announcement on Twitter confirmed the game's reappearance. While the reason for the initial delisting remains unconfirmed, speculation points to the recent shift in publishing rights 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, after only a four-day hiatus, is a welcome change.
This positive development underscores the strong relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. The companies have a long history of collaborations, including the Nintendo Switch exclusive release of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (before its wider release) and the ongoing success of other titles like the Dragon Quest series. This continued partnership benefits players with access to high-profile titles like Triangle Strategy and future releases. The exclusivity of titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (PlayStation 5) and the original Dragon Quest XI release on Nintendo Switch further demonstrate this ongoing trend of platform-specific releases from Square Enix.
