"Square Enix RPG Reappears on Nintendo Switch eShop"

Good news for RPG fans—*Triangle Strategy* is back on the Nintendo Switch eShop after a short delisting period, bringing relief to eager players. The game, originally published by Nintendo, has now returned with no issues purchasing or downloading it digitally via the online store, just days after its unexpected removal.

Known for its deep tactical combat and branching narrative paths, *Triangle Strategy* was praised upon release as a modern homage to classic grid-based strategy RPGs. Drawing comparisons to franchises like *Fire Emblem*, the game emphasizes unit positioning and strategic decision-making across dynamic battlefields, making it a standout title in Square Enix’s recent catalog.

Possible Reason Behind the Delisting

While there has been no official statement regarding the brief removal of *Triangle Strategy* from the eShop, speculation suggests that Square Enix acquiring full publishing rights for the title may have played a role in the temporary unavailability. This would explain the short hiatus and aligns with similar past incidents involving other Square Enix titles such as *Octopath Traveler*, which also saw a temporary delisting before returning to the store.

A Pattern of Strategic Publishing Moves

Square Enix has a long-standing history of exclusive releases on Nintendo platforms, dating back to the original *Final Fantasy* on the NES. Even as the company expanded to multi-platform releases, it has maintained a strong relationship with Nintendo, evidenced by titles like the *Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster* series, which launched exclusively on Switch before arriving elsewhere. More recently, *Dragon Quest 11 S* debuted as a Switch-exclusive definitive edition before reaching other platforms.

The return of *Triangle Strategy* to the eShop reinforces Square Enix’s ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality RPG experiences to Nintendo players, further strengthening its collaborative bond with the Japanese hardware giant.
