La-Mulana still on its way to North America/Europe
La-Mulana made it out on the Japanese Wii Shop Channel a few months ago. The same cannot be said for the North American and European WiiWare service, though.
While it has taken a considerably long time for the game to arrive in overseas territories, it’s coming… soon.
Nicalis issued the following statement yesterday:
First, I want to I apologize for the lack of updates recently.
we have had our heads-down working on La-Mulana, but we’ve been trying to find the exact words to say to our fans.As you may already know, we’ve been working continuously and non-stop on releasing La-Mulana US/EU versions since this summer.
But the things haven’t work out as we had planned almost six months ago.We’ve submitted lotcheck three times before we finished the development of the game and, just like for you the fans, it’s a bit frustrating for all of us working on the game that it’s not in your hands this very moment.
There are several reasons why it has taken longer than we initially expected and I really would like to tell you all about it. However, we’re in the business of making great games and want to continue doing so for as long as we can.
We can say that sometimes making games and the elements surrounding them can be a massive pain in the ass because it’s not all just game development.
Anyway, you can probably imagine how we feel
So, La-Mulana is complete. Depending on how quickly things move within the new year then we can look forward to releasing La-Mulana then.
Thank you all for being so patient and supportive of NIGORO and Nicalis as we wrap up La-Mulana and we apologize that we couldn’t release La-Mulana within 2011.
But no matter what, La-Mulana will be released on WiiWare. We don’t want any speculation suggesting otherwise.
