Megabyte Punch

Yesterday, Team Reptile shared the news that Megabyte Punch was mysteriously pulled from the European and Australian eShops. It was unclear at the time why the retro beat ’em up game had been removed. Fortunately, less than a day later, we have concrete information as to what happened.

Team Reptile informed us that Megabyte Punch was updated on May 14 with a new rating that notifies potential players of violence. Though the developer doesn’t feel that a 12+ rating is necessary, a patch has been submitted to fix the issue.

The full statement from Team Reptile reads:

It’s been just over a week since Megabyte Punch, Team Reptile’s beat ’em up game, was added to the Switch eShop. Everything with its release seemed to have gone well, but a new issue has cropped up. The developer has gotten in touch to inform us that Megabyte Punch is currently unavailable in certain regions.

Those interested in Megabyte Punch can grab it from the North American eShop. However, the same can’t be same of Europe and Australia. It’s nowhere to be found, and Team Reptile has no idea at present why it’s been taken down. The team did reach out to Nintendo, but has not received a response thus far.

Team Reptile shared the following in a statement:

Megabyte Punch, Team Reptile’s fighting/beat ’em up game, reaches the Switch eShop on May 8. Find some footage in the video below.

Megabyte Punch will be sold digitally for Switch via the eShop.

Earlier this year, Lethal League Blaze developer Team Reptile announced Megabyte Punch for Switch. The electro beat ’em up game now has a confirmed release date. It’ll launch digitally via the eShop on May 8, Team Reptile announced today.
