Summary
- Triangle Strategy, the acclaimed RPG, is back on the Nintendo Switch eShop after a temporary removal.
- Square Enix's recent acquisition of publishing rights from Nintendo is a likely reason for the delisting.
Handheld RPG fans can rejoice! Square Enix's popular title, Triangle Strategy, is once again available on the Nintendo Switch eShop. After a brief, several-day absence, fans can now purchase and download this acclaimed tactical RPG.
Praised for its return to classic tactical RPG gameplay, Triangle Strategy is a significant release from Square Enix, known for its legacy of original turn-based RPGs. The game draws comparisons to franchises like Fire Emblem, emphasizing strategic unit placement and maximizing damage output.
Fortunately, Triangle Strategy has returned to the eShop following its unexpected removal. While Square Enix hasn't officially explained the delisting, speculation points to their recent acquisition of publishing rights from Nintendo.
Triangle Strategy Returns to the Switch eShop After a Short Absence
This isn't the first time a Square Enix title has been temporarily delisted from the eShop. Octopath Traveler experienced a similar situation last year, though its absence lasted several weeks, unlike Triangle Strategy's four-day hiatus.
The game's return is welcome news for Nintendo fans who appreciate Square Enix titles on the Switch. This reflects the ongoing, positive relationship between the two companies. For example, Square Enix released its Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series as a Nintendo Switch exclusive before expanding to other platforms.
Square Enix's history of releasing console-exclusive titles dates back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES. While their releases have diversified to other platforms, this tradition continues. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth remains a PlayStation 5 exclusive, and the definitive version of Dragon Quest XI originally launched exclusively on the Nintendo Switch.
