Unsure on that to be honest. I'd initially say no because it wouldn't be listed for you to select but I don't have enough experience to give you a wholly correct answer.

I have the physical release on WiiU but this has me considering looking for the XB360 and PS3 versions this weekend. I'm betting there's a license issue and they either don't want to pony up or there was a statute of time that passed where they lost access to the IP.

Regardless, nonsense like this is what turns me off to the idea of an all digital future for gaming.  :P

Things like this can happen when a company loses licensing rights. The same thing happened to one of WayForward's other games, Wonder Momo: Typhoon Booster, a sequel based on the old Namco game. That game was only released digitally, and was de-listed everywhere a few years ago. Now it's essentially non-existent.

This is kinda like some music artists who record songs just so they themselves can have them and nobody else. But sometimes in the case of music, it comes out later on,

Or maybe they are trying to drive up demand because they may release it again later. Maybe in the future or it could be a Disney licensing issue.

sometimes copyright laws make me want to scream. I would rather just get ROMS or just buy physical copies or ROMS  legally, but then again malicious software could make you pay with the price of a new PC or device

In most cases, yes. It's pretty rare when a delisting completely removes access to a title, some notable ones like that being the PT demo or Minecraft Story Mode.
