Coming from the Nicalis Twitter...

Regarding La-Mulana, we have chosen to cancel publishing in North America and Europe for WiiWare.

No word on why the title was released, but we'll try to get a statement on the situation. Thanks to Greg for the heads up!

waited for "them" to finish the game?

Who is he talking about? The game was already released in japan, all they had to do was translate it, and weren't Nicalis themselves doing the porting?

edit: Actually I just found out Nigoro did the port, which still isn't an excuse, but at least it makes sense now.

Sadly expected. Prob wouldn't of sold many copies to warrant the 5k or w/e sale reach of WiiWare requirements.

Hopefully comes out on eShop or Ushop

WiiWare is a mess. GO TO THE ESHOP GUYS. I'm sure Nicalis will try to persuade them... hopefully. :(

Speaking of WiiWare, today is the last day to get April's club.nintendo download games. I picked up Me, You and the Cubes, already own Excitebike and skipped on Metal Torrent.
We're going to rack up some serious Nintendogs trainer points together!

"we'ce waited for them..." - Nicalis.

"WiiWare version:
The master data for NOA and NOE was handed to our publisher, Nicalis.
After that, we haven’t received any reports.
So, we have no idea when the release date is determined." - Nigoro (5 days ago).

Who lied? Anyone with sufficient press powers to check the issue? :\

All the wait for a no-show. Oh Nicalis, you so crazy.

Not that I really expected a European release anymore though and/or wouldn't rather see the game on the eShop. Oh well.

Nice! ^_^

Now hopefully there will be better titles to download next month. I'm hoping for 3D Classics Kirby's Adventure. :)

Maybe Nicalis should think twice before announcing games three years in advance.
