Dunno what the issue here, but that's what the Japanese Twitter is saying. Haven't seen mention of it on the US version but probably better safe than sorry if you want them.

Maybe something to do with the rights to the JP voice actress of Morgana? I can't fathom what else what be an issue.

Tough economy these days. Sega can't even pay for the license of a Sega character.

Utterly bizarre when you OWN THE FUCKING CHARACTER!

I swear no major company in gaming is worse with licenses/copyrights than Sega. Let's review shall we?

Sonic 3's soundtrack
Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz' soundtrack
The characters Sonic's multimedia career like the freedom fighters, and other characters from the DiC era, Archie comics, etc. Also; Penders
Sonic 1 and 2's soundtrack apparently still require payment to Masato Nakamura/Dreams Come True IIRC
Now removing Morgana, a character from their own subsidiary (they may even own the rights themselves anyway) from SMB:BM

Like, this company baffles me to no end.

Well shit, the DLC was on sale a bit ago but I passed because why would a SEGA character get delisted from a SEGA game?

Even as a Persona fan I'm not sure I'm too worried (I can use Sonic or Kiryu instead), but damn.

Yup, and somehow the actual licensed characters in Suezo and Hello Kitty are apparently fine. :/

Didn't those two get delisted a few weeks ago? Neither is available on Steam. (Or were they never on Steam to begin with?)

Weird how Suezo and Hello Kitty DLC are delisted from Steam but still available on Switch.

I went to check this out as I was thinking it was free DLC for some reason. $5? They can keep it.

LOL, that's why most of us skipped it. If it'd had music or voice clips I might have gone for it, but nope.

Was funny as hell to see Suezo of all things show up though. I guess the mini-revival for Monster Rancher at the moment justifies it.

Wait, Suezo is gone too? What the fuck, I had been holding off on the game until a decent sale as the ONLY reason I wanted to buy it was to play as him, now there is absolutely no point.

This thing was 5€? More than 10% of the game's price, crazy for a skin without unique voice or sounds.

I think Ikue Ohtani isn't voicing Pikachu in SwSh either and it's back to being the classic GB cry. Wonder if there's a relation.

this is the company whose JP branch did more damage to their console business than any competitor ever did.
