Delisting
Agetec’s digital DSi releases were delisted in North America between February of 2017 and April of 2019. The titles were still available as of our recording in 2017 and delisted by our next capture in 2019. Agetec’s Nintendo 3DS releases were delisted in North America in May of 2018 and it seems likely that their DSi releases were also removed around this time.
Several of these titles were handled by different publishers in Japan and have also been delisted, although dates have been hard to identify. Meanwhile, all of the titles published across Europe by Agetec remain available on the Nintendo 3DS eShop as of January 20th, 2021. It is likely that the cause for these North American delistings is Agetec’s standing as a Nintendo of America publisher. The company has been dormant since 2016 and likely did not meet the requirements to keep their titles online across North America. These rules apparently differ across Europe.
The table below contains the affected titles, denotes their territorial releases, and their availability as of this writing. Each title links to its GameFAQs page where you can find specific release dates. An asterisk indicates an Extinct title that is no longer available anywhere.
