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.

In between judging turf battles, you can find Judd sleeping around the entrance to the tower in the Plaza.
Cats sleep so much that there’s a theory that their [Japanese] name derives from ‘sleeping child’.
They say that the older the cat, the more they sleep, but just how old is Judd?
He seems like he’s got a very relaxed way of sleeping.One of our field researchers sent us a video of Judd sleeping.
Our image division has recently been focused on video, it seems.
It’s been bothering me for a while, but Judd has an oddly shaped tail.
Speaking of, I’ve heard that a cat’s tail will split in two as they get older and they will become a ghoul [specifically, a ‘youkai’ in Japanese].
You don’t think…
Today we find ourselves getting not only an image for Splatoon but another snippet from the game as well!
