10 Video Games So Bad They Were Delisted

7. Jump Force

Bandai Namco

Bandai Namco clearly hoped that their manga crossover fighting game Jump Force would be a mammoth commercial hit that flourished on the competitive multiplayer circuit above all else.

Sadly, that didn't happen, as reviews were largely mixed-to-negative, criticising the bland graphics, unrefined combat mechanics, boring campaign, and worst of all its unremarkable multiplayer suite, with the player-base consequently falling off a cliff within weeks of release.

In their defense, Bandai Namco did stick things out for almost three years, announcing this past February that Jump Force was being delisted across all platforms.

The response from most players, beyond the hardcore faithful, was one of absolute apathy, most having long-forgotten the game's existence.

Though some speculated that Bandai Namco pulled the game due to licensing agreements coming to an end, let's face it, if Jump Force had been the hit they were hoping for, they absolutely would've renewed that agreement.
