10 Video Games So Bad They Were Delisted

4. Lucha Fury

Don't feel bad if you haven't heard of Lucha Fury - this rickety throwback to classic beat 'em up games existed for basically a hot minute, dropping in June 2011 and being immediately panned into the ground by those few who bothered to even review it.

Giant Bomb called it "miserable garbage," while Gamespot lamented that its solid visuals were wasted on an otherwise boring, uninteresting homage to classic brawlers.

By December 2011, barely five months after its release, Lucha Fury was delisted from Xbox Live Arcade, its sole release platform.

The official party line was that the game was pulled due to developer Punchers Impact closing up shop and parent company Mindscape Inc. exiting the games industry.

But it doesn't exactly take much reading between the lines to observe that the game was pulled because it was a) awful and b) failed to turn anything close to a profit.

Ultimately mobile game developer Chillingo bought Lucha Fury in 2012 and repurposed it into an iOS title, Street Wrestler. Though this version received more broadly positive reviews, it too was eventually delisted from the App Store.
