Beloved Square Enix RPG makes triumphant Switch return

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 brief period where the game was unavailable for purchase.

The return of Triangle Strategy to the digital storefront allows Switch players to once again acquire and download this popular tactical RPG. The game's absence, lasting several days, sparked speculation among fans.

Known for its compelling blend of classic tactical RPG gameplay reminiscent of Fire Emblem, Triangle Strategy garnered significant attention upon its initial release. Its strategic unit placement and damage maximization mechanics resonated with players.

A recent Twitter announcement confirmed the game's reappearance. While no official explanation was given for the delisting, many believe it's related to Square Enix's recent acquisition of the publishing rights from Nintendo.

This isn't the first time a Square Enix title has experienced a brief eShop absence; Octopath Traveler faced a similar situation last year. However, Triangle Strategy's return was considerably faster, with only a four-day hiatus compared to Octopath Traveler's several-week absence.

This positive development underscores the strong relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. This collaboration has resulted in several Nintendo Switch exclusives, including the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (initially) and the definitive version of Dragon Quest 11. Square Enix's history of console-exclusive releases, dating back to the original Final Fantasy on NES, continues to this day, as seen with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (currently PlayStation 5 exclusive).
