At the time of writing, a reason for its removal has not been provided. The game was originally released in 2015 on both the 3DS and Wii U and draws inspiration from Nintendo&#8217;s <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/snes\/earthbound\">EarthBound<\/a><\/strong> \/ <strong>Mother<\/strong> series. Right now, it&#8217;s unknown if the game will also be removed from the 3DS eShop in Europe and North America.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, this is not the first time the game has been removed from Nintendo&#8217;s digital storefront. You might recall how a homebrew exploit was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2016\/05\/homebrew_vulnerability_discovered_in_3ds_version_of_citizens_of_earth\">discovered<\/a> in the 3DS version in 2016. It <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2016\/05\/citizens_of_earth_pulled_from_3ds_eshop_following_exploit_discovery\">resulted<\/a> in Nintendo immediately pulling the game from the eShop and this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2016\/07\/citizens_of_earth_has_returned_to_the_3ds_eshop\">followed<\/a> with the local publisher Atlus re-releasing the game two and a half months later.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you&#8217;re eager to try this out on the 3DS after all these years, now might be a good time to download it, just in case it is removed from the local eShop as well.<\/p>\n<p><em>What do you make of this removal?
