Meme Run was pulled from the Wii U eShop due to copyright claim

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.
