According to the developer of political satire game The Great Rebellion: Edition 2084, the Nintendo eshop has decided to pull versions of the game from the US and UK stores. This is in spite of multiple censorship compromises the developer claims to have made in order to comply with global standards.

According to KVLTGAMES, The Great Rebellion was previously listed on Nintendo’s online storefronts but was pulled 2 days ago. Surprisingly, the Japanese eshop remains unaffected and Japanese customers can still buy the game despite its alleged post-censorship controversy.

We have previously reported on The Great Rebellion after Steam was forced to ban the game for German customers in order to comply with the country’s laws on restricted speech.

The Great Rebellion is a cyberpunk roguelike game which is largely known for its rightwing political commentary and soundtrack, the former has made it the target of controversy.

KVLTGAMES released a statement where they explain the situation to their fans, they also quote Nintendo as saying that the game could cause harm to Nintendo as a brand. However they neglected to identify any of the content that violates their standards.

KVLTGAMES reached out to Niche Gamer and gave us a behind the scenes look at the approval process. What’s interesting to note is that the game passed “Lot Check”, a process where the game is reviewed to assure it complies with Nintendo’s guidelines, in September. This makes the late November decision to pull the plug on the game sudden, especially since it was set to launch in just a few days.

The Great Rebellion is available now on PC via Steam (unless you’re in Germany) and on the Nintendo eShop (but only if you’re in Japan).
