Delisting
Dracula: Undead Awakening has been delisted worldwide from the PlayStation Portable and in Europe and Australia from the Nintendo DSi (3DS eShop), although the timing is uncertain.
On both Nintendo’s and Electronic Arts’ support pages, the game is included in titles affected by the 2014 shutdown of GameSpy. Although Dracula: Undead Awakening is a single-player game it apparently had some connection to GameSpy services for high score tracking or perhaps simply player analytics. Despite this, the game remained available on Nintendo Wii until the Wii Shop Channel was shut down on January 30th, 2019.
Similar to another Chillingo release on DSi — Cut the Rope which has also been delisted in Australia and Europe — Dracula: Undead Awakening may have fallen under different terms outside of North America. It is possible it was delisted within 3-5 years as is typical with digital games of this era.
Dracula: Undead Awakening remained available exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS in North America until June 14, 2022 when it and all other EA published DSiWare titles were removed from the eShop.
