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 brief delisting that lasted several days.
The return of this popular tactical RPG is welcome news for Switch players. Triangle Strategy, lauded for its classic tactical gameplay reminiscent of Fire Emblem, was a significant release for Square Enix. Its strategic unit maneuvering and damage optimization mechanics resonated with fans.
The reason for the game's initial removal remains unconfirmed. However, speculation points to Square Enix's recent acquisition of publishing rights from Nintendo. This isn't unprecedented; Octopath Traveler experienced a similar, albeit longer, delisting last year. In contrast, Triangle Strategy's absence was considerably shorter, lasting only four days.
This event underscores the ongoing, positive relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. This collaboration has yielded notable exclusives, including the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (initially a Switch exclusive) and the definitive version of Dragon Quest 11. This history stretches back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES, highlighting a long-standing partnership despite Square Enix's expansion to other platforms. The PlayStation 5 exclusive Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the initial Switch exclusivity of Dragon Quest XI further illustrate this trend of platform-specific releases. The swift return of Triangle Strategy reinforces the strength of this collaboration.
