Cruis’n Blast Has Been Delisted From The Switch eShop

Cruis’n Blast, the arcade racing game that returned to consoles with its 2021 Switch release, has been delisted from the Nintendo eShop. The removal was discovered after the game became unavailable for purchase on the digital storefront, though the developer Raw Thrills has not provided any public explanation for the delisting.

The Cruis’n franchise had been absent from modern console releases for years before Cruis’n Blast arrived on Nintendo Switch in 2021, marking the series’ return to home gaming. The arcade title adapted the classic racing experience for Nintendo’s hybrid console.

Delisting of games from digital storefronts can occur for various reasons, including licensing expirations, publisher decisions, or other business-related factors. Without an official statement from Raw Thrills, the specific reason behind Cruis’n Blast’s removal from the eShop remains unclear. The delisting raises questions about the game’s future availability and potential impact on players who previously purchased or may wish to purchase the title.
