The Streets of Rage 4 Mr. X Nightmare DLC is available now, but a technical issue is preventing it from being able to be purchased on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Dotemu issued a statement alerting people that it, Lizardcube, and Guard Crush Games are aware and working on a fix for the situation. While it didn’t have an exact release window, it noted it could be a few days before people can buy the game.

We are aware of a technical issue affecting Nintendo Switch players from being able to purchase the [Streets of Rage 4] DLC. We are all hands on deck to remedy this issue for fans and will be posting updates on the ETA for when we anticipate the fix to be live.

Currently, our best projections are that the fix will come in following days but beyond that, we are unable to give a more accurate timeframe. This is extremely unfortunate for fans of the game who’ve waited patiently for the DLC and we apologize unreservedly.
