Triangle Strategy Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop

Good news for RPG fans! Triangle Strategy, the acclaimed tactical RPG from Square Enix, is back on the Nintendo Switch eShop after a brief, unexplained removal. The game's return follows a multi-day absence from the online store.

This popular title, lauded for its classic tactical gameplay reminiscent of Fire Emblem, was previously delisted. Speculation points to Square Enix's recent acquisition of publishing rights from Nintendo as the likely cause of the temporary delisting. This isn't the first time a Square Enix title has experienced a brief eShop absence; Octopath Traveler faced a similar situation last year, though its return took considerably longer.

The swift reappearance of Triangle Strategy, after only a four-day hiatus, is welcome news for Nintendo Switch owners. It underscores the strong ongoing relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo, a partnership that dates back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES. This collaboration continues today, with titles like the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (initially a Switch exclusive) and the definitive version of Dragon Quest 11. While Square Enix's releases now span multiple platforms, the company maintains a tradition of releasing console exclusives, as evidenced by the PlayStation 5 exclusivity of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
