Publisher Live Wire announced in a blog post on Wednesday that the Switch release of Cave’s Mushihimesama will be delisted from the eShop on August 10th. Expired licensing with the legendary bullet hell studio is to blame leaving Steam as the only current platform where you’ll be able to pick up the game after August 10th.
Regarding the Nintendo Switch™ game “Mushihimesama,” due to the expiration of the license agreement, sales of the download version of “Mushihimesama” will end on Saturday, August 10, 2024.
▼Sales end date:

Nintendo Switch™ “Mushihimesama” download version* Customers who have purchased Nintendo Switch™ “Mushihimesama” before the end of sales will be able to re-download and play the game even after distribution ends. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all involved parties and users for your patronage. We also ask for your understanding.

Until the 10th you can still grab Mushihimesama digitally on Switch in North America, Europe, and Japan or on physical media for Switch (by way of Limited Run Games), Xbox 360, and even as far back as PlayStation 2. It’s also been available digitally on Xbox 360 for quite a while but only in Japan. Thanks to everyone who submitted the news on this one, we’ve added the date to the Watch List calendar and will have a page up on the site later.
