Hotline Miami Switch release refused classification, on eShop now

Update: Looks like the bundle has been pulled from the Switch eShop. Hope you got in while the getting was good!

Original story: A Hotline Miami Switch release — a bundle of both games in the franchise — has been refused classification yet it still currently available digitally on the Switch eShop.

A 13 June decision on the Hotline Miami Bundle has issued it a Refused Classification rating, meaning it shouldn’t be permitted for sale within the country. Strangely, the bundle is listed at MA15+ on the Switch eShop at the moment.

We don’t think the bundle’s avaliability will last; like with DayZ recently, the Australian Classification Board will likely push to have digital availability removed. In short, go and get it while you can. — it’s currently priced at $37.50 AUD.

We reviewed Hotline Miami back in 2013.
