Sure, there was Capcom's Marvel Vs Capcom: Infinite and Square-Enix have a number of unannounced projects in development.

Which was fortunately available on modern platforms, until this week.

Some fans have vocalized annoyance over the games being delisted without any sort of prior notice. Users who purchased either game previously will still have download access for both titles.
