According to the Swedish site, The reason is contained in the alleged child pornography in the game. Everything seems to start from some remarks made by an unidentified forum from which emerged the fact that the game could break the strict laws on this Swedish pornography and child pornography, in particular, being able to portray Kasumi, Ayane and Koroke three minor characters in "Figure Mode" with the ability to frame the parties "intimate" while not showing nudity would be a possibility of infringement of the law.

However, even after a recent case of national significance took place in Sweden, where a translator of manga has been charged with possession of child pornography, the local distributor Bergsala and Nintendo have mutually agreed to avoid any potential problems and withdraw the product from the market.
