Nintendo Doesn't Want You To Play These Games

[@all-stargamer3333]

Actually it's Bandai Namcos who doesn't want People playing Taiko no Tatsujin Drum'n Fun. They forced Nintendo to take the Game down from Market.

[@Kenpachi546]

Yeah, they have a history of doing this. Both jump games, dlc for some Digimon games etc.

[@therealjaystone2344]

Shin Megami Tensei V (vanilla edition) was being pulled out of the eShop in 2024 after 2.5 years of existence. Why? Atlus decided not to ‘confuse’ the customer’s choices between SMTV and SMTVV. You can try to buy the physical game of the vanilla edition but get it now before it increase the price.

[@fgfhjfhjfbhfghf5771]

The fact that the time between SMT5's announcement and release is longer then the time it was on sale for is wild

[@timedasher]

I got lucky and already have the vanilla SMTV physical, but I didn't get the Dlc , since now they are gone from the eShop then I got the SMTV Venganse physical and keep both games

My friend was living w me for a couple of days and we played Jump force physical and it looked and played horrible on switch and I was bad. Glad I got to played when i found out it was delisted at least. I also bought Mario 3D Allstars, played each one 3 times at most and haven’t played it in about a year

[@GamerOfPhones]

Namco has been known to be lazy with Nintendo ports. Growtopia, however was most definitely removed because of the number of refunds given to players who said the tou user agreement said they were too young to legally play. Konami's Baseball game had a similar situation where the tou said you're not allowed to let anyone under 18 play, and you're not allowed to have multiple save files per console. Pacman 99 burns images of flashing blue ghosts and jammer ghosts into people's retinas, which is why people stopped playing. "Skylanders Imaginators" and the whole series will likely not be as popular as the hit Netflix animation *Spyro's Skylanders Academy* arguably the best incarnation of these characters. Although you'd expect Stealth Elf's enemies to make a "CANDICE!" sound whenever she surprises them with her shadow speed.

[@TheMortalkombat2007]

"...Nintendo never done this before." Yes, they have...for the Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary, they released a special edition of Four Swords on DSi from September 28, 2011 to February 20, 2012. They did it again to celebrate the release on A Link Between Worlds by re-releasing Four Sword Anniversary only for a few days in 2014.

[@RussVandy]

Completely forgot about that tbh

[@garulouie]

We lost Mario Royale just to lose it again? And again?

[@KrimsonKattYT]

What? Dragonball Xenoverse 2 is still getting updates and support and to my knowlege HAS NOT been delisted. You can still buy the game and the DLC on the eShop and still find physical copies pretty easily. Super Mario Bros 35 and the other "anniversary titles" that year are the only games here Nintendo directly played a part in "taking down." Out of the ones on the thumbnail, I know Cooking Mama Cookstar was taken down because of licensing conflicts between the IP holder and developer where the IP holder wanted to cancel the game behind closed doors because it sucked but the developer ended up releasing it anyways and POTENTIALLY implanting a bitcoin miner and/or data logger into the game to spite the IP holder. Skylanders Imaginators was never sold digitally, only physically as it was a toys to life game. However it was released in the tail end of that craze (2016) so it bombed. It was the last chance to reinvigorate the Skylanders IP after every game after Giants kept performing worse and worse, but it underperformed so the series was cancelled for good. No new copies are sold today due to it being a Wii U game from 2016, but you can still buy it second hand for super cheap. Skylanders Imaginators was never delisted as it was never sold digitally, it just ran its course of physical copies produced and ended production. Minecraft Story Mode was delisted because Microsoft ended their contract with Telltale Games in 2019 shortly before TTG went backrupt. Then Netflix bought exclusive rights to Minecraft Story Mode in collaboration with Microsoft so all the actual game versions had to be delisted. You can currently watch all the cutscenes (which is pretty much the entire game) on Netflix right now. It had nothing to do with Nintendo. SMT5 was delisted by SEGA because a greatly improved new version (SMT5 Vengence) released with all content from the original release included largely unchanged. They still should have offered refunds or discounts for people who bought the original game though, especially since the OG version was like an early access build of Vengence that people had to pay full price for. Most of the other games you listed were failed live service games like Jump Force, Babelon's Fall, Knockout City,

[@HiwhatsUptoday]

I was not expecting to see Monster Jam: Crush It on this list. I've played it and its not that great, but I never realized it got taken off the eshop

Yk Minecraft bedrock for switch’s performance is a lot worse than original ps4, so it’s mean that the legacy one perform better than that.

[@kenthuang436]

There is one major flaw in making Super Mario 3D All Stars a limited time release and that is how people selling it secondhand online are overpricing a used copy of the game. I've seen listings for just the box and now game for $80 and over $100 just for the game but no box. Why? The box is just plastic with a piece of paper inserted into a thin plastic sleeve and definitely not worth $80.

[@stacybyers1985]

@RussVandy My first visit to your channel btw 🙂 I'm a hardcore gamer, and proud Switch owner. I was so shocked that Super Mario 3D All Stars was on this list! All 3 of these games are amazing. I've only had my Switch for about 2-3 years, and I remember asking for that game for Christmas last year. My sister had gotten it for me. That is totally mind blowing as to why it was discontinued. I think the real reason is because they didn't include Super Mario Galaxy 2 (just kidding). The rest of those games on the list I'm unfamiliar with. I did play Minecraft a couple times and totally sucked. Nintendo actually gave me a refund for my purchase in the eshop. Prolly since I was a noob and didn't know what the heck I was doing. I learned about Minecraft from South Park (where I learn about everything). That Crayola game really did give me Splatoon vibes. Splatoon kicks major butt! I have the original for the Wii U, and its sequels. One of the best game series ever! OMG that Popeye game looked like total crap! Those graphics looked like Popeye got lost in a Minecraft game and found himself running around on a beach! That's a really good video.

[@NoLeftTurns965]

Who in their right mind would choose to buy digital over physical? Unless the game can only be purchased digitally, I can't think of any reason why one would deprive themselves of actually owning the game. You can't delist a physical copy.... Addendum - This rings especially true today as the digital only buyers have led the industry down a very dark path. If you think delisting is bad now you haven't seen anything yet...

[@BaxterAndLunala]

Also, I've lost faith in Minecraft purely because now content updates contain less content, and if you want to play locally, too bad, you can't. Why? Because to play locally, you need a Microsoft account. Why? Because of selling your data to data brokers and some stupid DRM. It's why (as of commenting) not too long ago people couldn't play it because the Microsoft network was down, regardless of the platform. And the worst part is people defended it, expecting literal children to understand how an account migration works.
