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.

Fans of handheld RPGs can celebrate once more, as Square Enix’s acclaimed title “Triangle Strategy” has returned to the Nintendo Switch marketplace after briefly disappearing from the eShop. Now, players eager to experience “Triangle Strategy” on their consoles can easily buy and download it from the online store without encountering any difficulties, following a short absence that lasted several days.

As a gaming enthusiast, I eagerly anticipated Square Enix’s latest offering, “Triangle Strategy.” Known for their rich history of creating original turn-based RPGs from past eras, this game was hailed as a comeback to classic tactical RPG gameplay. It drew comparisons to acclaimed series like Fire Emblem, with its focus on strategically positioning units across the battlefield to deal maximum damage.

Great news for enthusiasts of the developer and potential gamers: After a short absence from the Nintendo Switch eShop, Triangle Strategy has resurfaced! The company made this announcement via a tweet. Although there’s no official statement about the game’s sudden removal from the shop, fans are speculating that it could be due to Square Enix acquiring the publishing rights for the game from Nintendo, who previously published it on the console.

Triangle Strategy Reappears On The Switch eShop After A Brief Hiatus

Previously, a Square Enix game, specifically “Octopath Traveler,” was temporarily removed from the eShop for a while last year. Similarly, it seems that “Triangle Strategy” has experienced this brief delisting as well. However, unlike “Octopath Traveler,” which was absent for several weeks, “Triangle Strategy” returned to the eShop relatively quickly, with its absence lasting just four days compared to the extended hiatus of the former game.

Regardless of the circumstances, it’s highly probable that the game’s comeback will be welcomed joyfully by Nintendo enthusiasts who relish playing Square Enix’s flagship games on this console. In fact, Square Enix has a strong bond with Nintendo, as evidenced by their previous exclusive release of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series on the Nintendo Switch before it became available on other systems. This move underscores Square Enix’s long-standing partnership with Nintendo.

Square Enix’s tradition of launching games exclusively for certain consoles can be traced back to the original release of Final Fantasy on the NES, and while their offerings eventually extended to multiple platforms, this trend persists today. For instance, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is currently exclusive to the PlayStation 5, and the definitive version of Dragon Quest 11 was initially a Nintendo Switch exclusive as well.
