Saw this info from Twitter

In an utterly bizarre reason a bunch of games on the NA DSiWare games (that all seem to be around 10 years old or released before mid May 2010 or 2011) have been delisted without warning from the NA 3DS eShop.

Current causalities

- Asphalt 4
- X-Scape (Nintendo)
- Aura Climber (Nintendo)
- Zenonia
- Spotto! (Nintendo)
- Shantae Risky's Revenge (not a DSiware exclusive anymore but has Director's Cut versions on other stores)
- Mighty Flip Champs
- Escapee GO!
- Dr. Mario Express (Nintendo)
- Mr. Driller (this one has been delisted from PAL for years)
- Soul of Darkness
- Legends of Exidia
- Spin Six (Nintendo)
- The Oregon Trail
- Glow Artisan

EDIT: Electroplankton Nanocarp is not on NA store so most likely the rest is gone (still up on PAL)

Currently checking the PAL store to see what has happened here and the games that were released here are still up, Aura Climber, Art Style games, Spin Six, Glow Artisan. (Titles like Escapee GO! and Shantae RR never got a PAL release)

I have found one game that I can't buy anymore that that's Alphabounce is not available to purchase anymore.

EDIT 2: Current causality list is at 245 games according to da12thkind.

As someone who just spent a good amount of money on DSiWare in the past 24 hours because of this, if your in PAL or JP regions and you have been holding out on buying DSiWare games you want, you may want to do it now. I recommend NintendoLife as they seem to have reviewed every DSiWare title as a good starting point.

- Plants vs Zombies
- Shantae: Risky’s Revenge
- Spot the Difference
- Telegraph Crosswords

There has been no official word from Nintendo on the matter.

Maybe it was just a mistake.

nocturnal YL: Just started and finished WarioWare: Move It! (it's WarioWare, so a basic playthrough takes only 2 hours.) I went from having long breaks between games to being on a new game spree, having done 3 games in just a month and a half. Oct 16, 2024 14:00:57 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I expect to slow down again, though, since the remaining games I have are longer. Ys X, Wreckfest and WarioWare are all short games; meanwhile I still have Sakuna and a few visual novels to play before I'm buying new ones. Oct 16, 2024 14:04:53 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I also still haven't touched Fatal Frame 5 and Atelier Marie Remake, but I'm going to group them up for an even lengthier Gust marathon in the future. Oct 16, 2024 14:06:20 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: On the topic of WarioWare, I'm glad to finally see a new entry that doesn't have unnecessarily difficult boss games. The motion control does take a lot of getting used to, though. It's less intuitive than Smooth Moves, which remains my favourite WarioWare. Oct 16, 2024 14:10:40 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: I think I'm getting near the end of the Ys X demo (I'm starting chapter 3). I'm enjoying the story, but I've been having a hard time getting a handle on the combat. Oct 18, 2024 11:22:36 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: That's still quite early. The combat should feel better once you fill up all skill slots. Oct 18, 2024 21:42:54 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I took a look at my past Switch games and found that more than 40% of the games I played contain some kind of fishing. Oct 21, 2024 11:36:02 GMT -5 *

nocturnal YL: A bit late, but I started Aiyoku no Eustia. I have nothing to say about the story yet because the demo lasted 6 hours and I haven't got past that. There's no save data transfer feature, fast-forwarding takes a while, and I stopped to read at some points. Nov 3, 2024 6:47:31 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: It has the best file management feature I've seen. 60 normal save slots, 6 autosaves, and 12 more slots automatically saved at decision points. And the save data can be moved, deleted and given comments. It's the most flexible I've seen on console. Nov 3, 2024 6:50:03 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: I think I've gotten a better handle on the combat in Ys X, but I still don't think it feels quite as good as in Ys VIII and IX. Nov 9, 2024 15:18:51 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Interesting; that's the opposite of what I think. Which part are you in now, by the way? Nov 10, 2024 5:44:57 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: I'm just at the beginning of chapter 7. I've seen very divided opinions on the combat among Ys fans. I don't dislike it, but maybe I'm just used to Ys games having faster combat. Nov 10, 2024 8:38:57 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Aiyoku no Eustia is quite something. I thought I've somewhat hardened myself having gone through dark stories like Fire Emblem (Jugdral, Hoshido/Nohr, Fódlan) and Surge Concerto, but I'm still stunned. (Still doesn't beat real life, though.) Nov 10, 2024 15:17:23 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Aiyoku no Eustia has branched endings, and I've reached two. I'm surprised to see three familiar names in the credits: Ceui (OP vocal in Atelier Lydie & Suelle), Yoshino Nanjo (voice of Kiria in TMS♯FE), Yuu Asakawa (Megurine Luka's voice provider). Nov 14, 2024 14:42:30 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: It'll be quite a while until I'm done with this game. Each individual arc takes at least 6 hours, and there are extra stories. I recall reading somewhere that this game takes 60 hours to finish. Nov 14, 2024 15:02:04 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Quick update: I'm starting chapter 9 in Ys X. Overall, I've been enjoying the game quite a bit. Nov 15, 2024 9:12:40 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Ah, almost there! Nov 15, 2024 9:33:20 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I will go offline for a few days. My family is travelling to South Korea. I should be back around next Friday (22 Nov). Nov 16, 2024 4:32:51 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I haven't been to Korea for more than two decades, so I look forward to it. Nov 16, 2024 4:36:43 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Have a nice trip! Nov 16, 2024 8:41:09 GMT -5
