Following yesterday’s talk about Meme Run being removed from the Wii U eShop, we now have confirmation that this is indeed what occurred.

“Trollface” meme creator “Whynne” approached Ninja Pig Studios about the image’s use earlier this year and attempted to settle the situation amicably. However, he “claimed that he was not at liberty to speak about his relationship with Nintendo or any of the particulars regarding the game’s sales data.” Ultimately, this is what led to the game’s removal from the eShop.

Whynne goes on to say that Meme Run’s “absence might only be temporary.” He also apologized to those who had intended to purchase the title and can no longer do so.

You’ll find Whynne’s full comments after the break.

I’ve never purchased any music DLC for a game before, but I think that will be changing thanks to Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call. I can’t resist Nier’s music! Hills of Radiant Wind (last song in the video above) is one of my favorite tracks from the game.

A demo for Theatrhythm Dragon Quest will be released in Japan next week, Square Enix has announced. The trial should be out on March 11.

Two songs will be included in Theatrhythm Dragon Quest’s demo. Players will be able to try out “Adventure” from Dragon Quest III (field stage) as well as Dragon Quest V’s battle theme (battle stage, of course!).
