Square Enix Classic Re-emerges on Switch EShop

Triangle Strategy Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop

Fans of tactical RPGs can rejoice! Triangle Strategy, the acclaimed Square Enix title, is once again available for purchase on the Nintendo Switch eShop after a short delisting. The game's return follows a several-day absence from the online store.

This popular title, lauded for its revival of classic tactical RPG gameplay, draws comparisons to franchises like Fire Emblem. Its strategic unit maneuvering and damage optimization have garnered significant praise.

The reason for the brief removal remains unconfirmed. However, speculation points to Square Enix's recent acquisition of the game's publishing rights from Nintendo. This is not unprecedented; Square Enix's Octopath Traveler experienced a similar, albeit longer, delisting last year. In contrast, Triangle Strategy's absence lasted only four days.

Triangle Strategy's Resurgence on the Switch eShop

The game's reappearance is welcome news for Nintendo Switch owners and underscores the strong ongoing relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. This partnership is evident in past collaborations, including the Nintendo Switch exclusive release of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (before its wider release on other platforms).

Square Enix's history of console-exclusive titles, stretching back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES, continues. Notable examples include the PlayStation 5 exclusive Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the initial Nintendo Switch exclusivity of the definitive edition of Dragon Quest XI. The return of Triangle Strategy further solidifies this trend.
