SEGA Announces Delisting of Godzilla and Hatsune Miku DLCs from Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble on Nintendo Switch
SEGA has revealed that two popular crossover downloadable content (DLC) packs for Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, featuring Godzilla and Hatsune Miku, will be delisted from the Nintendo eShop later this year.
The announcement impacts players who wish to expand their gameplay experience on the Nintendo Switch with these unique characters. Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, developed and published by SEGA, launched exclusively for the Nintendo Switch in June 2024.
The game quickly became a highlight for fans of the long-running franchise, introducing new multiplayer modes and creative ways to enjoy the classic Monkey Ball formula.
As part of its post-launch content strategy, SEGA collaborated with iconic pop culture properties, adding Hatsune Miku and Godzilla as playable characters through paid DLC. According to SEGA’s official statement, the Godzilla and Hatsune Miku character packs will no longer be available for purchase via the Nintendo eShop starting November 26, 2025.
The DLCs, which originally released one year prior, will remain accessible for existing owners who have already purchased and downloaded them. The official Super Monkey Ball Japanese social media account underscored the impending delisting, urging interested players to acquire the DLC before the set deadline.
In their message, they advised, "Players wishing to add Hatsune Miku and Godzilla to their collection should act before November 26, 2025.
After this date, these characters will no longer be available from the eShop, but current owners will retain access to their content." While no official reason has been provided for the delisting, it is common for crossover DLC to be removed due to the expiration of licensing agreements.
The announcement serves as a timely reminder for fans and collectors to secure limited-time content, especially given Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble's exclusive presence on the Nintendo Switch platform and the game's growing reputation since launch. Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble stands as a testament to SEGA’s commitment to revitalizing classic franchises for modern audiences.
The inclusion of such high-profile characters as Hatsune Miku and Godzilla has been celebrated by both gaming communities and fans of the respective properties since their debut as DLC. Players hoping to enjoy these special characters on Nintendo Switch have until November 26, 2025, to make their purchase through the Nintendo eShop.
SEGA's handling of legacy content on modern platforms, as demonstrated by this transparent communication, continues to influence best practices across the industry.
