Square Enix RPG Relisted on Nintendo Switch eShop

Handheld RPG enthusiasts have reason to celebrate as Square Enix's acclaimed title Triangle Strategy is once again available on the Nintendo Switch eShop following its unexpected removal. Players can now purchase and download the game without interruption after it was absent for several days.

Praised as a revival of classic tactical RPG mechanics, Triangle Strategy stood out as a significant release from Square Enix, known for its lineage of turn-based role-playing games. The game draws comparisons to established tactical series like Fire Emblem, with its strategic positioning system requiring careful unit placement to optimize combat effectiveness.

Thankfully for both existing fans and new players, Triangle Strategy has been relisted on the Nintendo Switch eShop after a brief absence. While Square Enix hasn't provided an official explanation for the temporary delisting, industry observers suggest it may be connected to the recent transfer of publishing rights from Nintendo to Square Enix.

Triangle Strategy Returns to Switch eShop Following Short Absence

This incident isn't unprecedented for Square Enix titles on the eShop - the popular JRPG Octopath Traveler experienced similar temporary removal last year. However, Triangle Strategy's return proved significantly faster, with the game absent for just four days compared to Octopath Traveler's several-week hiatus.

The game's availability restoration brings positive news for Nintendo players who value Square Enix's premium releases on the platform. This development also highlights the ongoing partnership between the companies, evidenced by Square Enix's decision to initially release the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection as a Switch exclusive before expanding to other platforms.

Square Enix's history of platform-exclusive releases traces back to the original Final Fantasy on NES. While their distribution has broadened over time, exclusive arrangements continue with recent titles like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth remaining PlayStation 5 exclusive and Dragon Quest 11's definitive edition originally launching as a Switch exclusive.
