Due to the presence of a game-breaking bug, XType Plus was recently removed from the European Wii U eShop and omitted completely from the North American equivalent.
Luckily, today the developer PhobosLab announced through its Miiverse account that the team behind the title have managed to locate the bug that has been causing all the mischief and – hopefully – have dealt with it. PhobosLab is currently busy testing the game to make sure this sort of mishap doesn't happen again.
Here's the official Miiverse post:
Good News! We were able to locate the crashing bug and fix it!
A new version of the game is currently being tested. So far, everything looks great! I hope I can announce a release date for the update very soon.
Again, thanks for your patience! I can't wait to see you all in the online leaderboards
The error occurred when users attempted to access online leaderboards, where the arrival of a few hundred entries in Europe prompted consoles to hard freeze.
Will you be picking up a copy once it's re-released, or has this put you off the game to a degree?

I guess they X-terminated the bug.
(I'm very sorry)
Yaay.
So much to play, so little time
I will gladly buy this. I actually appreciate their integrity. Instead of leaving the game with the bug, they removed it from the eShop until it was fixed.
WB and Arkham Origins think these guys are wasting their time.
Can't wait to take over the leaderboards again!
I have a review code, and was 1st on the leaderboard up until the game started freezing.
@RCMADIAX They probably didn't get to put the online infrastructure through its paces with just a few small-scale tests, methinks.
I've been waiting for this to be fixed. I had $5 waiting to be used from the DDP.
I really hope this sells well.
Still waiting for it-- need a new Shoot 'Em Up that isn't $30
Yes I will be buying it when it returns. Clearly high score tables aren't the simple affairs people used to think they were!
Please be soon, this looks like such an exciting game!
Yay I looked for this game on the eShop a couple of days ago, only to find out that it had been pulled.
