Nicalis teamed up with Christophe Galati on the retro-inspired platformer Save me Mr Tako: Tasukete Tako-San. Now with the game having just reached its second anniversary, a big change has happened.
It’s confirmed that Nicalis no longer has the rights to Save me Mr Tako: Tasukete Tako-San, which has resulted in the game being temporarily pulled from the Switch eShop. However, Galati intends to bring the title back through self-publishing. Additionally, a patch is planned that he was not able to implement due to some unwillingness from Nicalis.
Nicalis and Galati posted the following statement on Twitter:

If you’ve gone back at all to the vast catalog of Game Boy games, you might be surprised by how so much of it is really doesn’t hold up. The Game Boy was Nintendo’s first true portable system with swappable game carts, rather than a single-purpose LCD Game & Watch toy. It had to be able to run actual games, with actual computer processors. These processors were very out-of-date even when the Game Boy was new, with its Z80 CPU having powered many computers from the late 1970s. As the first of its kind, the grey brick was a heap of technical and financial compromises; but it could run the oddball Super Mario Land, and later Tetris, Pokémon, and even a Zelda game in Link’s Awakening. Trying to adapt overly ambitious home-console NES game for the meager capabilities of the machine lead to cases like Metroid II, Castlevania: The Adventure, and Mega Man: Dr. Wily’s Revenge. I have tried going back to these games on the 3DS Virtual Console, and they just aren’t fun.
