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 transfer of publishing rights from Nintendo to Square Enix, a move speculated to be the reason for the brief delisting.

The return of Triangle Strategy allows Nintendo Switch players to once again purchase and download this popular tactical RPG. Known for its classic turn-based gameplay reminiscent of titles like Fire Emblem, Triangle Strategy quickly gained recognition for its strategic unit maneuvering and high damage potential.

Following a four-day absence, Square Enix confirmed the game's reappearance on the eShop via a Twitter announcement. While no official explanation was given for the initial delisting, the recent shift in publishing rights is the leading fan theory.

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. However, Triangle Strategy's return was significantly faster, resolving within four days compared to Octopath Traveler's several-week hiatus.

The game's resurgence is positive news for Nintendo Switch owners and underscores the ongoing strong relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. This collaboration is highlighted by past releases such as the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (initially a Switch exclusive) and the continued trend of Square Enix releasing console exclusives on the Nintendo platform, a tradition dating back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES. This continues with titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (currently PlayStation 5 exclusive) and Dragon Quest XI (initially a Switch exclusive).
