Triangle Strategy Returns to Nintendo Switch eShop
RPG enthusiasts can celebrate! Triangle Strategy, the acclaimed Square Enix title, is once again available for purchase on the Nintendo Switch eShop after a temporary removal. This follows a short period of unavailability, lasting several days.
The game's return is welcome news for fans of classic tactical RPGs. Triangle Strategy, praised for its innovative take on turn-based combat, draws comparisons to franchises like Fire Emblem. Its strategic gameplay, focusing on unit placement and maximizing damage, has garnered significant praise.
The reason for the game's brief delisting remains unconfirmed. However, speculation points to Square Enix's recent acquisition of the publishing rights from Nintendo. This isn't the first time a Square Enix title has experienced a temporary removal from the eShop; 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 absence.
This event highlights the ongoing and fruitful relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. This collaboration has resulted in several Nintendo Switch exclusives, including the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (initially) and the definitive edition of Dragon Quest 11. This partnership underscores Square Enix's history of releasing console-exclusive titles, dating back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES. While their releases have expanded to other platforms over time, the trend of exclusive titles continues, as evidenced by the PlayStation 5 exclusivity of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
