XSeed Games’ social media has announced some unfortunate news for fans of the Corpse Party games. Corpse Party Tetralogy, which was confirmed to be coming to the West both physically and digitally for Nintendo Switch, is no longer coming to the West.

“Corpse Party fans: We know how much you were anticipating the release of the Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack. Though we previously released entries in the Corpse Party series on console platforms and digital storefronts in the West, we were informed that the contents of several games in the Tetralogy Pack did not comply with current platform guidelines. As a result, we are unable to release these games as intended and have subsequently canceled the physical release of Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack, as well as the digital offerings of previously unreleased Corpse Party games featured in the Tetralogy Pack.
We apologize for any confusion and disappointment this may have caused. We remain committed to working with our partners at MAGES. to bring Corpse Party II: Darkness Distortion to the West and will share more details on its release when we can. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of XSEED Games and the Corpse Party franchise.”
It appears that Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe made some calls to change the game to comply with their platform guidelines, and MAGES did not want to make the changes. This has been a new trend ever since the Nintendo Switch 2 marketing push happened in December of last year, with one of my favorite trilogies, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth being one of the first to take a hit.
Luckily, the Japanese physical cartridge has English support if you want to import it to play on your Nintendo Switch console. Unfortunately, it is currently out of stock on both PlayAsia and VideoGamesPlus. Restocks do happen, though, so keep your eyes peeled if you want to buy it that way.
