Good News for RPG Fans: Triangle Strategy Returns to the Nintendo Switch eShop
Triangle Strategy, the acclaimed tactical RPG from Square Enix, is back on the Nintendo Switch eShop after a short absence. The game's sudden delisting and subsequent return has left fans speculating, with many believing the brief removal may be connected to Square Enix recently acquiring the publishing rights from Nintendo.
This popular title, praised for its return to classic tactical RPG gameplay, draws comparisons to franchises like Fire Emblem. Players strategically maneuver units on the battlefield to maximize damage, offering a satisfyingly challenging experience.
The game's reappearance on the eShop, announced via Square Enix's Twitter, is welcome news. While the reason for the initial delisting remains unconfirmed, the relatively swift return (a mere four-day hiatus) contrasts with the weeks-long absence of Octopath Traveler from the eShop last year. This suggests a smoother transition of publishing rights this time around.
This event highlights the ongoing, positive relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo. This collaboration has resulted in several console exclusives, including the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series (initially a Switch exclusive) and the original release of the definitive edition of Dragon Quest 11. This partnership underscores Square Enix's history of releasing console exclusives, dating back to the original Final Fantasy on the NES, a trend that continues with titles like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (currently PlayStation 5 exclusive).
The return of Triangle Strategy to the Nintendo Switch eShop is undoubtedly a victory for fans of tactical RPGs and a testament to the strong bond between Square Enix and Nintendo.
