Delisting
American Popstar: Road to Celebrity was delisted from the Nintendo 3DS eShop on or before May 13th, 2019. This is the earliest date where a Google Cache archive shows that the game’s Nintendo.com page was online but with no option to buy.
As several DSiWare titles from Gameloft remain available on the Nintendo 3DS eShop as of this writing, it seems likely that the delisting had something to do with licensing. It is also possible that this and other delisted titles from Gameloft were licensed from independent studios or were supported by internal teams that are no longer able to maintain the games, resulting in their removal from sale.
The game was previously delisted from the DSi itself on March 31st, 2017 when Nintendo shut down the DSi Shop.
