Idea Factory International sent out the following

 

Idea Factory International was originally set to release the following Neptunia titles on the Nintendo eShop on May 21: Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2 Sisters Generation, and Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3 V Generation. It was also announced that Death end re;Quest: Code Z was set to launch physically and digitally for Nintendo Switch™ in 2025.

The 3 Neptunia titles and Death end re;Quest: Code Z for North America and Europe will no longer launch on the Nintendo Switch/Nintendo eShop due to the contents of the Re;Birth series and Death end re;Quest: Code Z not complying with the Nintendo Guidelines.

Please note that Death end re;Quest: Code Z will still launch physically and digitally for the PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®5 in 2025.

This is not the first such instance of Nintendo rejecting a game outside of Japan as Redneg Allstars Swing-By Edition was also refused released.

 

Update: An indie developer has released a video suggesting this may have less to do with Nintendo guidelines changing and more to do with ratings boards in the west changing their guidelines.
