Delisting
Costume Quest 2 for the North American Nintendo Wii U was presumably delisted between February of 2017 and 2019 alongside High Strangeness. However, while High Strangeness was delisted globally, Costume Quest 2 was only delisted in North America. As of this writing the game remains available on all other platforms and territories where it was released. This specific Wii U delisting may be related to Midnight City’s standing as a North American publisher on the Nintendo Wii U.
If the date range is accurate, the delisting falls within a known period where several releases were being removed from the platform, allegedly because Nintendo of America was no longer renewing developer/publisher licenses. With only two Wii U releases to their name, Midnight City may also have chosen not to maintain their standing as a publisher in North America.
Costume Quest 2 was later delisted on PlayStation 4 in North America on around June 24th, 2024. The game was the only remaining title published under Majesco Entertainment Company on the platform, so the delisting may have been related to their standing as an active PlayStation publisher.
