Takeshi and Hiroshi, one of the stars of the recent Nintendo Indie World Showcase, has been temporarily taken down from the European Switch eShop.
If you've been unsuccessfully searching for the game on the store or via Nintendo's official website, don't worry, it's not just you. A problem with the game's rating has forced its publisher to delist the game and fix the issue; Oink Games says "it will be available soon".
We plan to have a full review of the game for you as soon as we possibly can, so stay tuned if you want to learn more before its return to the eShop. Those of you in other regions should still be able to download Takeshi and Hiroshi as normal.
We thought Takeshi and Hiroshi looked like one of the standout games of that Indie World Showcase, but what did you think? Have you already started playing, or are you interested to give it a go? Let us know below.

I liked what I played, but it doesn't seem to be anything more than a mobile game with an interesting story. You basically decide what enemies your little brother has to face, so you have to find a balance between tough/easy enemies and fun/boring. For example, if you keep sending easy enemies, your little brother won't have any problem getting rid of them, but he'll get bored.
It didn't seem like the game is anything more than that mechanic, tho.
The whole "developing an RPG" element reminded me of Dandy Dungeon, which is a more interesting game.
Well - what was the problem with the rating exactly? /needs more journalism
I like the premise for this one, but I'm waiting on the fence until I can gather more impressions.
I wonder what exactly caused it to be temporarily withdrawn.
Anyway, its a short game but what it lacks in length, it more than makes up for it in charm. Both leading characters are likable and have great dialogue together. The whole 'balancing the game fairly' gameplay is certainly something unique.
I give it a 7/10*
*score does not reflect the opinions of Nintendo Life, Nlife Media or Gamer Network. I mean, I'm a guy in the comments section, not EDGE magazine
Because it's not specified by anybody - I imagine it's a similar issue to what happened with To The Moon earlier this year - the PEGI rating was found to be incorrect or inaccurate by PEGI and the game has to be pulled while they re-rate it.
It doesn't take too long, I think To the Moon was back up within a week.
What could possibly be wrong with its rating? From what I've played so far, this is easily am E rated game.
Happens mo often than u think
