Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 33 Comments
Update 2: While the re-download button doesn’t display in the individual listing, you can currently grab the software again by visiting your list of “Redownloadable Software” on 3DS eShop (thanks Kaleo).
Update: The game is also unavailable in Europe (thanks lightdasher and Grimahim.
The first Project X Zone has disappeared from the North American 3DS eShop. On top of that, if you’ve downloaded it previously, a message stating “This software is currently unavailable” is displayed where the re-download button would be.
We’re not quite sure why Bandai Namco decided to remove Project X Zone from the eShop. Anyone in Europe know if this is the same situation there as well?
Thanks to Brian for the tip.
