As another reminder as to why a digital only console would be a bad idea, Etrian Mystery Dungeon will soon be delisted from the European 3DS eShop.

The odd part of this announcement is that the North American version of Etrian Mystery Dungeon is seemingly already gone, with no prior warning by Atlus. Furthermore, the “End of Summer Sale” mentioned in NISA’s tweet… isn’t actually a thing from what we can see. NISA Europe’s store does have the game for £7.99, though this is just the game’s regular price at this point.

A note to our European fans: Etrian Mystery Dungeon will be removed from Nintendo eShop Europe on 30 Sept. You can still pick up this title as part of the End of Summer Sale, so make sure you get it before the sale ends on 20 Sept! (https://t.co/vkFS895ISl) #EtrianMysteryDungeon

As there are no plans currently to remove any other Etrian games, this is likely a licensing issue with EMD’s developer Spike Chunsoft. Considering the bargain bin prices for physical copies, we can only assume that trying to keep the game on the eShop wasn’t worth it financially.

If you want to try out Etrian Mystery Dungeon, and aren’t interested in a cheaper physical copy, make sure to grab it digitally before September 20.
