[paragonpro]

Bought when I first heard. Its an alright game too, I always forget the soft spot I have for disney and mickey mouse

 

[MaverickHunterX]

The problem is that some if not most delistings have seemed to have happened with zero warning.

Exactly. So, we can always have a place to look, when in the case of zero warning.

I just don't think a catch-all thread is all that useful when new news can be made into a new thread for the occasion. Not like there's a delisting occurring all that often to begin with.

 

[Secret Fawful]

I really love this game and its soundtrack so I grabbed it while I still can. It's a damn shame it's being delisted. I hope it gets renewed at some point.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

Unskippable cutscenes are making this last fight a drag, I don't want to sit through it every time

 

[Horsemama1956]

I don't own a Gaming PC, unfortunately.

It should run on most recent Intel integrated graphics and almost all AMD APUs

 

[Oneself]

I played it on PS+ a while back and didn't think it was -terrible-, but I bought it in case my daughter turns into a hardcore gamer at the age of 5 or something...

I do this all the time. My son is nearly 2 and a half... And I don't want him to become addicted to games, tv or things like that. We play outside etc. buuuut I buy some games "just in case".

 

[statham]

I think I waited too long, I can't find the game on Xbox.com

 

[erotic grandpa]

Wario64 retweeted someone who confirmed it's been delisted on Xbox, so yeah :/

 

[Lupin the Third]

It's not on PlayStation Store either, according to the website.

Steam is the last frontier

 

[LowRoller]

Gone from the psn store

 

[Lupin the Third]

Steam is the last frontier

So it would seem. Buy whilst you still can.

 

[statham]

Just bought it through steam for $2, not my platform of choice for this type of game, but glad I own it and me and my son can play through it.

 

[ToD_]

Got it on steam. It was my favorite game on the Master System back in the days. Curious to see how this one is. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Skyzard]

Fine... guess I'll buy it.

 

[DeathSparks]

Yep it's gone from PSN.

 

[fernoca]

There's also Android. And is free on the Amazon Underground app store.

 

[ArtHands]

Steam is having a 85% discount as the last hurray for it. I guess with XBox and PS version being taken down already, the Steam version is going to get taken down any minutes now.

 

[Qwark]

Dang, I missed it on Xbox. I was gonna buy it there since I heard it was b/c. Oh well, I still have it on PS3 I guess.

Wouldn't be shocked if it's set to be yoinked at 9pm Pacific, because that would be midnight on the East Coast. So possibly as early as ~20 minutes from now?

GameStop.com is selling a version of it...lol

 

[SparksterMeta0]

It's still on my Download List (as well as the original game from the pre-order).
So I was able to redownloaded them.

Shame it's delisted, though.

 

[Traxtech]

It's still up on the AU PSN store... for $19.45 aud

 

[xk0sm0sx]

Just bought, thanks.
Price is so low it's a no-brainer.

 

[fvng]

Was legit surprised how much I enjoyed this game. Granted I dug the original but this remake was tops

 

[fester]

What a great digital future we live in, where companies actively work to prevent sales of their products. All those 0s and 1s taking up space and clogging the Internet tubes. Won't somebody think of the lawyers?

You can redownload it any point, correct? You just can't purchase it?

 

[Lupin the Third]

Thankfully it indeed seems to be that kind of delisting, as opposed to complete obliteration.

I mean, companies NOT signing away rights to an intellectual property until the end of time isn't anything new. The only thing that's changed in a situation like this is the lack of used copies. Still frustrating and a big problem for preservation, but by no means "actively work[ing] to prevents sales of their products."

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Got it ages ago when it was about £3 on sale. Just a shame that things like this keep putting a dampener on the future of digital games. This, MvC2 and P.T in particular are good cases against going all digital.

 

[dEvAnGeL]

Thanks for the heads up OP, played some of it on ps3 but then i sold the console and had no idea it was on steam lol, just bought it

 

[Chanser]

Gamesplanet is still selling it.

[dietdracula]

Just grabbed it on Steam with some card money. I've been pretty good about getting most of these games that get delisted, but it sucks every time :-/. The digital future kinda sucks sometimes.

 

[Indelible]

Really glad I got this free with PS Plus, it is a fun little platformer. It can still be downloaded on PS3 if you go to your downloads in the Playstation store.

 

[ShadyJ]

It's $2.24 on the US store.

Just got it

 

[graywolf323]

I would have picked it up on Xbox since it got added to BC but they kept it at $14.99 until the end as far as I can tell so I'll just stick with my PS3/Steam copies

 

[jetsetnickradio]

I already had it on PS3 from PS+ but I just bought it on Steam cuz I'm a sucker for games that are about to be delisted, I guess.

Plus I remember it being a pretty decent game, at least from what I played on PS3 anyway.

.. do you know how licenses work? Licenses have existed since the beggining of videogames, and retail games have stopped being sold because of the expirement of those licenses.

 

[Mush]

I have no idea why I bought this but hey into the endless void that is my backlog it goes.

 

[Elginer]

Thanks for posting about this. Great little game and for less than 3 bucks on Steam.

 

[MUnited83]

Also, for what it's worth, if you have a Android Tablet you can get the game for free using Amazon Underground. No microtransactions or anything, the whole game for free. Has gamepad support if i'm not mistaken.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Thanks, got it on steam!

No different from all those Marvel games that vanished from store shelves when their licenses expired. All licensed games eventually disappear like that, and in the retail space you usually don't get a heads-up and a massive discount like this, either.

In the retail space you can actually buy/play the game years after the digital version has been removed though.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

welp, looks like I took too long. Thought this was supposed to be delisted tomorrow, the 2nd?

 

[JaseC]

While the console versions are gone, it's still available on Steam at 85% off and will remain so for another ~10h55m, and as mentioned above you can get the Android version for free from Amazon.

 

[GeNoMe]

It's not delisted on the EU psn yet. Went ahead and got in on Steam, thanks for the heads up OP.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

Finished it last night in one sitting, it was a fun change of pace, every time Mickey spoke I had to smile, his voice is just so silly. The final fight was cool as well. I really enjoyed the level design, art and audio, the gameplay was fine but very basic. Overall well worth £1.49 for a short blast of childlike fun.

 

[baconcow]

Bought it when I heard Grant Kirkhope`s music playing in a gameplay video.

You will enjoy the steam version because 60 fps plays a lot better than 30 fps in a platformer game.
