Relisting

We received word on June 27th, 2019 via Twitter that Gangstar 2 had reappeared on the Nintendo 3DS eShop. Upon further investigation we found that the game had only returned in North America and that a Nintendo.com page no longer existed for the title; it can only be found directly from a Nintendo 3DS. The reason for its return is uncertain and as of this update Gameloft’s other delisted DSiWare titles remain delisted. The original delisting details follow.


Delisting

Gangstar 2: Kings of L.A. was delisted from the Nintendo 3DS eShop on or before May 17th, 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.
