Months after it was taken down, Ittle Dew 2+ finally returns to the Switch eShop next week. Developer Ludosity is now able to release the game directly rather than having to go through Nicalis, the company that originally published its game.

The original issues came about last September after Ludosity terminated Nicalis’ publishing license six months prior due to breach of contract. Though Nicalis said it would transfer the game back to the studio on consoles, CEO Joel Nyström said Nicalis never followed through, and the title was simply taken down entirely.

Interestingly, according to Nyström, Nicalis apparently tried to re-publish Ittle Dew 2+ consoles despite having lost the rights. Nyström commented on the situation on Twitter and while speaking with GamesIndustry, writing:

Half a year ago, Ittle Dew 2+ was pulled from the Switch eShop. Ludosity blamed original publisher Nicalis for its disappearance, but it was never really clear why it happened in the first place.

Many months later, Ittle Dew 2+ is finally returning to the eShop. Nicalis is no longer involved, and the game will be published directly by Ludosity.

Here’s some information about Ittle Dew 2+:

Last week, it was discovered that Ittle Dew 2+ had been removed from the Switch eShop, much to the disappointment of developer Ludosity. The news came following a recent report from Kotaku in which the publication brought up several issues with Nicalis, including reports of the company not responding to studios it had agreed to work with.

Ittle Dew 2+ removed from the Switch eShop, developer puts the blame on Nicalis

Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

If you’re looking for Ittle Dew 2+ on the Switch eShop, you’ll have trouble locating the game. That’s because it has been removed, and it seems that publisher Nicalis is to blame.

Developer Joel Nyström wrote about the situation on Twitter. Nyström noted that Ludosity cancelled Nicalis’ license to publish the game earlier this year, and Nicalis intended to transfer those rights over. However, Nicalis apparently “couldn’t be bothered, and just delisted Ittle Dew 2 from all console store fronts.” The next step of action is to either have the de-listing be undone, or for Ludosity to re-publish.

[Review] Ittle Dew 2+

Posted on 7 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch, Switch eShop | 12 Comments

System: Switch
Release date: November 14, 2017
Developer: Ludosity
Publisher: Nicalis

Years after Ludosity’s well-received Ittle Dew back in 2013 on Steam before making its way to consoles about a year later, Ittle Dew 2+ is here and makes its way over to the Switch, offering fans of top-down dungeon crawlers and old-school Zelda players something to look forward to, and a sequel that finds itself just as wildly charming and humorous as it was the first time around. The game brings with it some new treats that make it feel like a fresh, albeit familiar, new adventure for our protagonists Ittle Dew and Tippsie.
