Summary

  • Triangle Strategy is back on the Nintendo Switch eShop after being delisted, delighting RPG fans.
  • Square Enix recently acquired publishing rights for the game from Nintendo, which may have led to the brief removal.

Enthusiasts of handheld RPG games can now celebrate as Square Enix’s hit title, “Triangle Strategy“, has been re-released on the Nintendo Switch. Previously removed from the Nintendo eShop, it is once again accessible for purchase and download from the online store without any complications. This follows a brief absence that lasted several days.

As a highly anticipated comeback to traditional tactical role-playing game design by Square Enix, Triangle Strategy garnered significant attention due to its reputation for creating unique turn-based RPGs from earlier eras. The game drew parallels with other popular strategic RPG series such as Fire Emblem, given its emphasis on moving game pieces strategically across different locations to inflict maximum damage.

Luckily for enthusiasts of the developer and potential gamers, the title Triangle Strategy has resurfaced on the Nintendo Switch eShop after a temporary absence, as announced on Twitter by the company. Since there’s been no official communication from the company about the game’s sudden removal, fans have hypothesized that it might be due to Square Enix acquiring the publishing rights for the game from Nintendo, who previously distributed it on the console.

Triangle Strategy Reappears On The Switch eShop After A Brief Hiatus

On previous occasions, a Square Enix game has temporarily vanished from the eShop for short periods. For instance, the highly acclaimed turn-based JRPG, Octopath Traveler, experienced a similar disappearance last year. However, unlike Octopath Traveler which was absent for several weeks, Triangle Strategy returned to the eShop much quicker, with its absence lasting only four days instead.

Regardless, the return of this game is expected to bring positive vibes for Nintendo enthusiasts who appreciate Square Enix’s flagship games on their platform and the continued collaboration between Nintendo and Square Enix. Previously, Square Enix launched its Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series exclusively on the Nintendo Switch, later expanding to other systems, underscoring the company’s lasting bond with Nintendo.

Square Enix has been known for launching console-exclusive games since the debut of the original Final Fantasy on the NES, and while they’ve broadened their reach to other platforms over time, this trend persists. For instance, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is currently only playable on the PlayStation 5, and the ultimate version of Dragon Quest 11, initially a Nintendo Switch exclusive, is no exception.
