<p>Just days before the release of <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/katana_zero">Katana Zero</a></strong> last month, the game was <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/04/katana_zero_refused_classification_in_australia_and_new_zealand">refused classification</a> in Australia and New Zealand. It meant Switch owners down under and across the ditch were unable to purchase Devolver Digital’s latest indie release from the local eShop.</p>
<p>Fortunately, the game’s ban has now been overturned by the Classification Board. It’s received an R18+ rating and is expected to arrive in this region towards the end of the month.</p>
<p>This is sure to lead to even more sales for the already successful title. As you may recall, the game has been recognised as Devolver Digital’s most <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/04/katana_zero_is_devolver_digitals_most_pre-ordered_switch_game_so_far">pre-ordered</a> Switch game ever, surpassing the likes of <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/messenger">The Messenger</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/minit">Minit</a></strong>. The game also <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/04/katana_zero_sold_more_than_100000_copies_in_its_first_week">shifted</a> more than 100,000 copies in its first week.</p>
