by

A game exclusive to Nintendo Switch, currently available in the eShop, is being taken off the platform by the end of this month. This removal is part of a series of such actions, including Nintendo itself taking down one of its games later this year, as well as several classic games being removed unexpectedly from the eShop. The former event won’t occur until late in 2021, while the latter has already taken place. However, this upcoming removal is impending and will happen on September 19 specifically. The positive aspect of this situation is that a substitute for this game will be provided, unlike the pair of games that were delisted without any replacement.

About the Game

For those unaware, Puzzle Quest: The Legend Returns is typically a fusion of puzzle games and role-playing games (RPGs). This unique game first appeared in 2007 under the title Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. Since then, five more iterations were released before the game you’re referring to in 2019. Most recently, Puzzle Quest 3 came out in 2022.

Initially, when it first came out, the game titled “Puzzle Quest: The Legend Return” received a good rating of 78 on Metacritic and was generally well-received by Nintendo Switch users. However, in 2025, it’s uncertain how many are still playing or purchasing this Switch game. It’s likely not a large number. On a positive note, “Puzzle Quest: The Legend Return” is the latest release in the series available on the Nintendo Switch, as “Puzzle Quest 3” has yet to be released for this system.

After discussing the matter, your feedback is greatly appreciated! In other positive updates, it appears another unique game exclusively for Nintendo Switch, initially released in 2018, is due for a modernized version.
