Unlike Octopath Traveler it doesn't have unfamiliar phrasing or a sense of adventure Triangle Strategy is a name with little allure. They didn't, and as many have pointed in the months since its reveal it is not a good name or brand, making little sense unless you are an enthusiast interested in the strategic approach that's referenced. When it began as 'Project Triangle Strategy' we thought "oh well, they'll definitely think of something better this time". And so, when you see a name like Triangle Strategy, do you think it has the potential be a wonderful fantasy story with a modern take on classic isometric strategy? Or does it sound like a weird 99 cent mobile puzzle game? It could go either way, right? A lot of people enjoy their games, occasionally see official trailers or game listings for upcoming titles, and perhaps rely on some word of mouth from their social media timelines. It's important to remember that the vast majority of gamers and Switch owners don't necessarily spend much time browsing game media, or following the progress of releases for months ahead of release. Both companies have a lot of experience and it makes sense that different teams would specialise in very different genres, but it's a reminder that Triangle Strategy is very much its own game and the link with its HD-2D predecessor is largely limited to the rather handsome graphics engine. With Octopath Traveler it was Acquire, whereas for Triangle Strategy it's Artdink. To clarify, though the look and of course the leadership of Square Enix (especially through producer Tomoya Asano) in the projects are the same, Triangle Strategy and Octopath Traveler have different contributing development studios. Yes, there are massive Pokémon and Kirby games too, but for fans of strategy games it's hard not to be ever-so-slightly impatient for a title that, to be honest, has a rubbish name. Despite fierce opposition the Nintendo-distributed game at the top of this scribe's list is Triangle Strategy, which is coming to us thanks to Square Enix and continuing the visual style we first saw in Octopath Traveler.
Nintendo is starting off the year rather strongly on Switch, with exciting games to keep us busy towards Summer.
