Gunbird 2 pulled from EU and US eShop - but its back now :)

Post by Black Sam »

Anyone heard anything about it coming back?

I am assuming there was a rogue nipple or something that needed to be patched out. Literally got pulled the day I bought some credit to buy it xD

I haven't heard if NOA will be returning the USA region eShop digital d/l of Gunbird 2. I bought it on the 2nd day of release -- no problems d/l it nor any quibble with it running on my Switch setup either.

This happened with Gunbird 1 as well (it got pulled for a couple of weeks, IIRC). Chances are they found some awkward glitch in the game and had to pull it until a new revision could be implemented.

This is probably a ratings issue, a lot of self-published Japanese eShop games go through the same rigmarole of being pulled and re-upped due to devs not understanding the submission process, including previous Zerodiv games.

The JP eShop versions include the English text so you can still grab them either way.

It's back on the Australian store, I would assume it would be back in EU and US too?

The game just received an update (now version 1.0.1). I'd imagine the NA release will probably go back up tomorrow, or barring that, in the next few days.
