In recent memory, almost all feedback concerning Nintendo’s approach to indies has been positive. So it’s a bit surprising to learn that one developer had a disappointing exerpeice with the company, and ultimately wasn’t able to launch its game on the eShop.
Spearhead’s Simon Darveau and Malik Boukhira told Destructoid that the studio originally hoped to bring Tiny Brains to Wii U. Darveau explained that Spearhead “never seem to find an avenue to get on the Wii U,” in large part due to the difficulties in getting in proper contact with Nintendo.

Pac-Man Museum cancelled on Wii U, 3DS
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 42 Comments
Namco Bandai announced Pac-Man Museum for a number of platforms last year including Wii U and 3DS. Today, the publisher finally shared a release date for the game’s PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC versions, but a mention of Nintendo systems was conspicuously absent.
We followed up with Namco Bandai and were told that, unfortunately, both eShop releases have been cancelled. Pac-Man Museum will no longer be available on Wii U and 3DS “as a result of delayed development,” a representative said.
If you’re still interested in Pac-Man Museum, you can pick up the title via PlayStation Network on February 25 and through Xbox Live Arcade/Steam on February 26.
