10 Video Games So Bad They Were Delisted

5. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants In Manhattan

Hack 'n' slash game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan hit storefronts in May 2016, and was generally pilloried by critics who felt it was a soulless, bland fighting game with a license cynically slapped on it to try and make some easy money.

Despite its name branding, Mutants in Manhattan was delisted from all digital platforms in January 2017, barely seven months after release.

While this delisting was primarily a result of Activision's deal to produce games for Nickelodeon properties expiring in 2017, it's also hilariously, transparently obvious that Activision greenlit this game as a fast-and-loose cash-grab before the rights ran out.

They knew it was something they could produce for a small budget within a short timeframe and squeeze for easy profits for a few months until the licensing agreement ran out, and that's exactly what happened.

Needless to say, had the game inexplicably received rave reviews and sold well, Activision might've considered re-upping their deal.
