Update: Returning with new ESRB rating – Bigley’s Revenge disappears from the Wii U eShop
Update: Creator Jordan Schuetz says Bigley’s Revenge is only being removed temporarily. It’ll be back, and with a “T” rating from the ESRB. An update might happen as well.
ESRB has a form where rate what content is in your game. I marked: Violence "Mostly fantastical setting" & "Stylized depiction".

ESRB came back today and literally marked the same boxes, however they determined for whatever reason that it should be rated Teen.

For everyone wondering, that's why the game is off the eShop. I can resubmit the game if I wish to with the new rating.

Bigley's Revenge is now rated Teen by ESRB.

Bigley's Revenge can't be listed on the eShop again until I submit a new ROM to Nintendo. Maybe I'll make some improvements to the game also

No one would have to repurchase Bigley's Revenge. They would receive an update.

Indie game Bigley’s Revenge may have been removed from the Wii U eShop. It’s nowhere to be found in the store, and searching for the game returns no results. The same goes for the Miiverse community.
This wouldn’t be the first time that a Wii U eShop from Ninja Pig Studios has been removed. Meme Run suffered a similar fate over a copyright issue. Bigley’s Revenge also features several memes, so it’s possible that’s come into play here as well. We won’t have a clear answer until Ninja Pig Studios provides an official update.
