Recently, Switch users in Europe have observed that the game BAKERU has vanished from Nintendo’s eShop.
According to a notice from publisher Spike Chunsoft on social media, there is an ongoing issue that has caused the game to become unavailable, and efforts are underway to address this urgently.
BAKERU was released locally on the Switch earlier this month, following its original release in Japan last year. Additionally, there is a demo available for players to try out. Here’s an excerpt from our review, now republished for the Western release:
“Bakeru is a sweet, snappy, and satisfying linear 3D platformer that feels like a wonderful callback to a genre that doesn’t get a ton of representation these days. It’s really easy (although the Western version ups the difficulty slightly) and has some performance problems, but the gameplay variety, snappy combat, oodles of collectibles, and gorgeous art style all come together to make for an adventure that you won’t want to miss out on.”
If you’ve faced any challenges purchasing BAKERU lately or have already played through the game, feel free to share your experiences with us.
