In an update posted today, NIS America posted that certain Danganronpa games would be delisted from the Playstation Store. Most of the games being delisted are the PS Vita versions of the original trilogy as well as the Vita version of Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls and both the Vita and PS4 versions of Danganonpa V3: Killing Harmony.
The official website gives an update that provides dates for when each game will get delisted but no reason as to why they’re being taken down. Ultra Despair Girls on Vita will be delisted on August 31st. The first two mainline entries, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair on Vita will be delisted September 4th. Lastly, the most recent mainline entry, Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, will be delisted September 25th on both Vita and PS4.
They will most likely be relisted at later dates and republished by Spike Chunsoft, who published the Steam versions of each entry. Danganronpa 1 ⋅ 2 Reload on PS4, which was published by NIS America, is strangely unaffected. It’s possible it may be removed at a later date and then relisted, but for now, it’s not on their list.
Update: Select Danganronpa titles will soon no longer be available for purchase on PSN through NIS America. Please read our blog for more information: (https://t.co/8khO8NDGbg) #Danganronpa pic.twitter.com/BV2nALVpJN

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Anniversary Edition was also released earlier this year on mobile devices to celebrate the series’ 10th year anniversary. It was published by Spike Chunsoft and also seems to be unaffected by this strange news. Currently, only the first entry is available, but the sequels are sure to come.
