Report 2

Hello everyone!
We are sorry for no update for 4 months.

A lot of things happened in the last 4 months, but we still don’t have
anything to release officially.
However, we wrote this article because we want to tell you as much as
we can say at the moment.

WiiWare version:
The master data for NOA and NOE was handed to our publisher, Nicalis.
After that, we haven’t received any reports.
So, we have no idea when the release date is determined.

PC version:
We have almost finished developing it.
Debuggers are in the middle of testing.
In the meantime, we are discussing where and how to sell it.
Off course, PC version is being released overseas.

For the future:
We are not only a developer but also a publisher in WiiWare Japanese version.
That is why we could make statements freely and quickly.
We will be able to talk about the PC version freely.
So, we will reply comments about PC version as many as possible.
We are sorry for keeping fans waiting such a long time, and thanks for
your encouragement forever.
We promise to do our best to deliver LA-MULANA ASAP.
Thank you again for your patience.

P.S.
NIGORO members are not good at speaking except Japanese, even so we
work hard to make statement in English. Sorry if that sounds funny!

    *sighs* Well, as long as it sees a proper remastered release international, I suppose I can’t complain TOO much. Long, long ago, on a computer oddly enough, more powerful than the one I now write this comment on… While I still say take what time is needed to ensure a quality product… Is it too hypocritical of me to confess that patience is starting to wear thin while waiting for this to come to pass? I intend naught but support, but… Just can’t help but feel more than a little frustrated at this news, I must admit.

  2. So, I saw a random announcement on Penny Arcade’s checkpoint [1] that Nicalis cancelled the US and EU release of La-Mulana for WiiWare.

    May I have a statement on that?

    PS: If it’s true, please do hurry with the PC version, I’ve been waiting to play this game for months.

    Please, please, please, release La-Mulana on Steam and Desura!

  4. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    In Japan,‘Golden Week’holidays passed, and we start work as usual.
    Thank you for a lot of comments.

    We will post the summary that includes our answers to your questions in the near future.

    Wait a moment, please.

  5. Piro_Maniak says

    Hello,

    I am both happy and sad about these news…
    Sad because of the Wiiware version we will never play, but happy about the PC version we will play.
    I want to ask something… Could you consider making a PSN version of La-Mulana ? I don’t know why, but I think it would be very good for the PSVita. I could easily pay 20$+ for it.

    Thanks

  6. ForOhFor Error says

    If anyone wishes to try to fan translate the wiiware wad into english, email me at MegaPoster404@gmail.com. I have some game data, so please feel free to ask me for it…

  7. Armored Chocobo says

    Considering Steam took up the Cave Story new PC release (which was also by Nicalis), Steam’s totally your best bet for a La-Mulana PC release.

    I know I’d jump on a Steam release of it.

  8. cylex7 says

    ラ·MULANAの新しいバージョンは、Macintosh Apple社のMacシステムだけでなく、PC版に出てくるのだろうか?

    Will the new version of La-Mulana come out on the Macintosh Apple Mac system as well as the PC version?

  9. cylex7 says

    Can this be played on a Macintosh Apple Mac system?

    これは、Macintosh Apple社のMacシステム上で再生できますか?

  10. enkimeister says

    I’ve been saving my money for years for the Wii version in the US and it gets canceled?! I hate you…

  11. Eclipse says

    awesome! Will the PC version be on Steam?
    You could contact Carpe Fulgur to translate that version in english, they did wonderful jobs with Recettear and Fortune Summoners

  12. TheRagingGamer says

    you’ll probably be more profitable on the PC port rather than the Wii port anyways. Keep going, we are all waiting.

  13. If I may rage for a moment…

    FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU…….

    That is all.

  14. I am glad that you will be able to release the PC port. I feel bad for the setbacks you’ve had so far and am glad to hear that you are still able to work on La Mulana.

    I will make sure to buy it upon release.

  15. Now that the game is confirmed to not be coming out on WiiWare internationally, I ask that the PC version be made available to not just Windows PCs. I have been waiting for a long time for this game, and I want to be able to play the new version on my Linux box.

  16. Stojan says

    I hope that the WiiWare (Jap) version [wad file] will be fan translated as soon as possible ! – I will not survive another Wii cancellation after this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonk:_Brink_of_Extinction
    For the PC version – Steam is ONLY solution as You can read through the other comments here – nothing gonna stop You to release La Mulana there.

  17. Sabin Stargem says

    As I understand it, Nicalis cancelled the game…without consulting with Nigoro first. Putting aside the feelings of hurt and blame, it is important that Nigoro puts together an solid plan for the PC version of the game.

    1 – Publishing: Should the developers self-publish, or find another publisher? I personally think that Carpe Fulgur should publish La-Mulana, as they seem to have an unblemished record, and I feel Nigoro should have someone who can natively handle negotiations with English-speaking parties.

    2 – Distribution: In my opinion, Nigoro should have as many digital distributors to sell their games through. The biggest players, such as Steam, Gamer’s Gate, GameStop Impulse, and Good Old Games should be good places to get started.

    3 – Advertising: Nigoro should send review copies of La-Mulana to various internet reviewers and sites so that word of mouth can be spread around. I think that WorthPlaying, RPGFan, AngryJoe, RetroWare TV, 16-bit Gems, Angry Videogame Nerd, Extra Credits, and many others would be worth sending an copy to. While not all would be receptive or positive in their reviews, I think that this would still help generate sales of the game.

    4 – Sales: I am not sure what price for La-Mulana would be acceptable, but I think that Nigoro should look into getting La-Mulana into the Humble Indie Bundle program at some point, so that people can become more aware of La-Mulana and Nigoro. With indie games, word of mouth is very important.

  18. Ganbatte kudasai!!!

    ******* **** ****** ** ****** ****** ******* ************ *******

    Dear NIGORO, I pray you release La Mulana PC soon, so I can get to play it ASAP. Also, I’d like to inquire about whether the PC version will be in English or both English and Japanese.

    P.D.

    Please understand the situation….

  20. La-Mulana is cancelled in the U.S. and Europe because WiiWare sales are “non-existant” according to publisher Nicalis.

    Is this true? While I’ve been waiting, wii pts in hand, for years for La Mulana’s release … I suppose no one is to blame but Nintendo. Guess I’ll be picking this up on PC. Thanks for trying guys!

    http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/nintendos-digital-download-woes-nicalis-cancels-la-mulana-over-toxic-wiiware-market/

  21. Hi guys,

    It’s sad to hear the news about the Wiiware cancellation of La Mulana in USA and Europe. I know it’s due external factors. You guys are awesome, and La Mulana is one of the best game ever. You deserve the best!!

    I would like to encourage you to finish the new PC version, and would like to say that we are thousand of fans awaiting, whatever it takes and please don’t worry about the time. We are here and we love you!

    Best,

    G87

  22. Tommaso Mongelli says

    Please NIGORO, don’t give up. I hope you have the strenght to find a new Wiiware publisher. We have been waiting for so long! Ganbatte.

  23. Mathieu says

    Hi there,

    i’m really disappointed to see that the game won’t be released on the european wiiware, but i’m eager to see the pc version!
    I’m now playing an old version of the game, i’m at the beginning and i’m very, very, very impressed.

    I agree with some statements above, steam would be very good for this game, it deserve more notoriety. Anyways, no matter the platform it will be released on, the game will be mine on the first day.

    Total support and greetings from France.

  24. I have read today at indiegames.com , that wiiware version is not going to launch in EU and U.S. , is this true??

  25. kesley says

    I really would like to see this game come to the Wii. I hope all is not lost. I do look forward to the PC version as well.

  26. I don’t have a Wii but i finished Original La-Mulana on PC. I’m waiting for the remake, please, release it on Steam ! 😀 You’ll have my money !

  27. FunktionJCB says

    Glad to see the PC version is coming out soon.
    I’m really looking forward to play it!

    Best of luck with the game!

  28. TheMaverickk says

    Can you guys go to another publisher such as XSeed perhaps to publish the game?

    They always seem more then happy to bring Japanese games over, and they are far more reliable from what I’ve seen. Even being more diligent with the games out there.

    It’s actually really upsetting to read that Nicalis is saying that they were still waiting for La-Mulana to be finished…. but this seems contradictory considering you released the game in Japan. So how is the game unfinished?

    The only thing technically needed to be done I assume was the translation, and any other little bugs that could be found.

    Anyways like I said Nigaro should look towards another publisher possibly. If not just do it yourself on Steam if you can. It’s an indie developer haven.

  29. Dear La-Mulana staff:

    I have just heard from the internet that Nicalis has cancelled publishing the game stateside today. I just hope they were not your only option for WiiWare.

    As for the PC version, I am willing to get it via PC as long as it is available outside of digital distribution centers, like Steam.

  30. Sabrewing says

    https://twitter.com/#!/nicalis/status/197093647404105729

    How could this be allowed to happen?! What in the world were they afraid of? Nigoro, PLEASE start looking for a new publisher — don’t let this game completely die!

  31. Cancelled. 🙁

  32. http://m.ign.com/articles/2012/05/01/la-mulana-wont-make-it-to-wiiware
    Looks like Nicalis made the decision to abandon Wii-ware. All that’s left is PC.

  33. http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=176464

    How much of this is lies? Fuck Nicalis, trying to pin all of the blame on you guys. Fuck them hard. Get the PC port out asap.

  34. For PC digital distribution, Steam and Good Old Games (GoG) would be the two recommended decisions by consumers for the PC. Valve provides a simple process to publish games on Steam, and La-Mulana would find an excellent home for many years to come!

  35. WOW, Nicalis just announced on twitter that the WiiWare game is CANCELLED!

    The game was already self-published in Japan, but this publishing company can’t manage to publish it over here. What an amazing job!

    Let me guess, they just found out they won’t get a cut of the PC version sales?

  36. WRuddick says

    From nicalis twitter

    Nicalis, Inc. ‏ @nicalis

    Regarding La-Mulana, we have chosen to cancel publishing in North America and Europe for WiiWare.

    WHAT. THE. ****.

    Are you…. are you kidding me?

  37. I just want to say that I’m sorry the publishing deal with Nicalis didn’t go through.
    Whether it was their fault or Nintendo’s certification I don’t think we can say, but I’m sorry regardless.

    I will but the PC version when it’s released though.

  38. http://twitter.com/#!/nicalis/status/197093647404105729

    Coming from Nicalis’s twitter, the Wiiware version of La-Mulana for US/Europe was cancelled, so essentially the PC version is all we have to look forward to now. Fortunately, this PC version will be superior to the Wiiware version anyway, so I still have faith in this project.

  39. AnuBleed says

    F*** you Nigoro.

  40. How is the guide going? Thanks for the update =D Keep it up!

  41. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    Thank you for comments.
    We answer the question are as much as possible, please refer to the log.
    Thank you.

  42. Thanks for the update regarding the PC version of La Mulana. It’s good to hear progress is still being made, after four months I was worried the game had been cancelled! I hope you’ll consider Steam for your PC release, there have been more and more (translated) Japanese games on Steam recently, and I think La Mulana will do well on that platform.

  43. traumafox says

    For PC version, try Steam!

  44. Stargoat says

    Ah, I was really looking forward to the Wii version, but it’s looking less and less likely every day :(.

    Still, a PC release would be great, especially un-compromised by the Wii’s weird size limits.

  45. You can try releasing the game on Steam!

    http://www.steampowered.com/steamworks/

    This is the submission form for games:

    http://www.steampowered.com/steamworks/title-submission.php

  46. I have only one question: Will this game be available on the Mac?

  47. Open up pre-orders, and you can have all my money.

  48. Oh, also you should make sure to include native gamepad support for the PC version. I would suggest using the 360 controller, as that seems to be the standard.

    Get it out ASAP and I’ll still purchase it, but I refuse to wait for much longer.

  49. I would be angry at Nicalis if I were you guys. They haven’t even promoted your game at all. This is ridiculous. Get the PC version out as soon as possible and release it on GoG.com and Steam. You will actually make some money this way.

  50. Miles Bluefalls says

    Thank you so much for the update on the status of the game, especially the news that it will be released on PC overseas. I can’t wait to buy this. Thank you all for the original game, thank you for the beautiful-looking ports, and thank you for having the patience to tough out the horrible time you have had with the localization process.

  51. While Steam is a very strong distribution service, there’s always the demographic that will greatly appreciate an alternate, independent, DRM-free method to purchase the game.

    Hopefully an impending PC release will encourage the publishers to stop dragging their feet with the wiiware version!

    Also, I don’t remember exactly where, but I have been told that hell temple was cut into DLC because of wiiware size limits. I don’t know if that is true, but if it was the case, will it be handled any differently for the PC release?

  52. Steam is a very welcoming platform for doujin and/or indie titles on PC, so it would be a great place to sell La-Mulana overseas.

  53. It’s good to hear from you guys again!
    Sad that it’s bad news though. I’m starting to dislike Nicalis…

    Anyway, will the PC version be using different art assets (the non-scaled down originals)?

  54. Anonymous52555 says

    Oh oops, sorry I missed your response to someone else about the price so just ignore my previous question. Anyways, I can’t wait for the PC release. I was able to buy a copy of the Japanese version of the Wiiware version and I have to say you guys have outdone yourselves. I’ve also given Hell Temple a go and it was a long night but I finally beat it, you guys are evil :). One thing I’m interested in with the PC version is doing a Speedrun/RTA. That will surly be fun.

  55. Anonymous52555 says

    How much will the PC version cost?

  56. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    We have published the making of La-Mulana successively with NIGORO official site.
    Sorry it is only in Japanese….

  57. Great to see this still moving forward! When you say PC version, will it also be ported to OSX?

    Very excited to see the changes between the new and old versions! Wish I could read through the notes on making La-Mulana on the NIGORO website.

  58. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    We want to release on the same day Japanese ver. and English ver.

  59. Hello thanks for giving us an update finally. I find it awesome that the pc version is so far in the works.
    Is the pc release going to be out on the same day in all regions?

  60. Steam.

  61. Thanks, thanks, thanks a lot!!! Finally a good news!
    Steam or GOG or anything else, the pc versione will be mine at day-one release.
    🙂

  62. I think this game looks awesome, and I’ll definitely buy it (especially if it’s released on Steam – though GOG.com is another very good alternative for retro-style games).

  63. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    The PC version support a keyboard, a USB game pad, and a wired XBox 360 controller.

  64. Nillansan says

    Dear Staff,

    I am so excited about the PC version of La-Mulana, thank you so much!

    Will the game natively support a wired XBox 360 controller?

    I hope that the game will be released on Steam, it is certainly the most ideal distribution platform.

    Kind regards,
    N

  65. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    Thank you for your many comments!.
    Because my English is poor, I cannot reply to all comments.
    Please do not worry even if there is no reply.Thank you.

  66. Just so long we get to play it some day, I should be good. PC version sounds promising. I know it’s got to be frustrating to keep everyone waiting, especially when people complain. Good luck, you guys!

  67. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    So far, we plan to distribute the OST on bandcamp.

  68. Rossmallo says

    Frigging FINALLY. Holy hell, I thought you guys had given up.

    Also, what’s the latest news on the official soundtrack? Ie, when is it going up on Itunes or whatever?

  69. Krendall says

    Thanks for the update. At this rate, it looks like the PC version will be out before the WiiWare. Oh, well, Nintendo’s loss, because I am anxious to own this game.

  70. Good to see the PC version is still coming. Steam is a great place to sell La-mulana overseas. Sales could be very good because many many people use Steam to buy games. There aren’t too many good platform adventure games so La-mulana will be a surprisingly good addition to Steam.

  71. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    On PC version, we map up and jump to the different keys. You can rest easy.

  72. LemGambino says

    This is good news, I’ve been waiting for La-Mulana on Wii for ages.

    For the PC version, please do the following: DON’T MAP UP AND JUMP TO THE SAME KEYS. Sorry for the caps, but that was my most irksome thing with the original game. I also hope you’ll have multiple screen res options too, and ability for windowed support.

    Any chance La-Mulana will get ported to other consoles? Cavestory was ported to pretty much every Nintendo console ever, so I’m jcurious.

    Keep up the good work! (and don’t worry about the english, I got the gist of what you were saying)

  73. Can we have an estimate on the PC release date?

  74. Thank you for the update. We love you guys.

  75. Nicktendo says

    So good to hear that the game is still on track for launch! Checking this blog everyday has really paid off! Ever since the Japanese release last year I was really beginning to wonder if we would ever get to play it on our shores! Thank you for updating us and I hope everything goes smoothly so we can deliver Peace to Mother!

  76. Hey! It’s good to hear from you. After all, any news is good news.

    Nicalis seems to have dropped the ball on this one. Maybe it’s because of a focus on WiiU development instead, not to mention their continued love affair with Amaya-san. (For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvB8bAgyvCA)

    I am eagerly looking forward to the PC version! Here’s hoping I can put my money in your hands soon, haha.

  77. MrZeebub says

    YEA news! Good to see you guys are still breathing. Can’t wait for the PC release.

  78. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    To answer.
    1. There are a few. Details will be posted one of these days.
    2. We have not decided yet.
    3. DLC may be added later when more games sold.
    4. We want to release if possible. But it takes a lot of money to translate. I’m undecided.

  79. Thank you for working hard on the game! I still have points on my Wii from last year for the Wiiware version, but I’m looking more forward to the PC version now.

    I just have four questions.
    1. Will the PC version include anything extra?
    2. How will the PC version be released (e.g. Steam)?
    3. How will the downloadable content be handled for the PC version?
    4. Are there still plans to release an English version of the guide?

  80. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    Details will be posted.
    You can play the hell temple on PC version.

  81. gg nicalis top qualyt companee

    On the PC release, will we expect a release on Steam? Also, will the Hell Temple be included or as DLC?

  82. Yay! At last some news!!

    Glad to hear the pc-version, i dont´t have a wii anymore…

    Hope it doesn´t take too long 😉

  83. Thank you for updating! I’m thrilled that the PC version is so far along. Please consider releasing it through Steam if possible.

    And your English is quite good!

  84. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    It is a reasonable anger.
    From now on we will publish the information of the PC version responsibly.

  85. Zantagor says

    Good to hear that you’ve dropped Nicalis for the PC version. 4 month without giving any updates or news to either their customers or developers is completely unacceptable on a professional standpoint.

    heck, at this point, I wouldn’t even be surprised that the PC version is out before the Wiiware version over here in the US.

  86. I’m glad to hear this! Good job, guys!

  87. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    Well… NIGORO have no experience in game development on a Mac.
    I hope to one day is possible I think.First, we want to give priority to release the Windows version.

  88. Hey, it’s cool, guys! Glad to hear you’re working on the PC version. My only question about that is if it’ll be compatible for the Mac as well?

    Also, one can only hope that Nicalis gets the act together, too. I’d say send them a letter or something at this point.

  89. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    We hope that the sale of game on their own to do as much as possible.
    Cause of the delay in the release English version is not only because Nicalis.
    Some things may be that we now seek the help of Nicalis, and is currently pending.

  90. Will NIGORO be publishing the English version of La-Mulana for PC, or will Nicalis be handling that also? The longer this goes on, the less I want to give Nicalis any of my money. I will, though, if it’s the only way I can get La-Mulana~

    Thank you for all of your hard work!

  91. Thanks for the update guys! That’s all we wanted to hear. 🙂

    I’m still excited for this game, but I think I’ll be picking it up on PC when it comes out (which sounds like it could be before the US/EUR release on Wiiware). I’m really excited to play La-Mulana again, so I’m looking forward to when it finally gets released!

    がんばて!NIGOROの英語はすごい!あなたたちの気持ちいわかてるよ。(^v^)

  92. The obvious question about the PC version:

    Will it be available on Steam?

  93. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    We already do a remake of the game is finished on Wii version, then there is no change in the contents of the game on PC version.
    First, we will aim to release the game as soon as possible.
    I think that is good to enjoy extra contents after the release.

  94. Well, I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say that I’m thankful for a new update. Steam seems like the most logical choice for PC distribution, seeing as Cave Story went the same route (and was highly successful). My only hope is that you were able to expand the game since the PC doesn’t have a ridiculous 50 MB size limit to the game. Even if you decided not to cram it full of features, this game is still a day 1 purchase for me. Thank you for your continued work of this masterpiece.

  95. For the love that you have put into a proper La-Mulana remake, I would wait for years. I will always appreciate everything you have done for fans of La-Mulana. Thank you so much for your effort. I will patiently wait as long as I have to so I may purchase the game. 🙂

  96. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    We are going out of the PC version’s information on this site now.
    Of course, there are changes or modifications to suit the PC.

  97. I have to ask, what are some of the differences between the Wiiware and this upcoming PC version? Will there be a higher resolution allowing for smoother character sprites to match those of the guardians?

  98. LaMulanaFan says

    Thanks for the update guys. I’m excited for the WiiWare version but I’m patient too so I don’t mind if it isn’t coming for a while, as long as it’s before the Wii U comes out I guess. But I’d rather it get released sooner than laster! Thanks for all your hard work 😀 Oh & your english was easily readable too.

  99. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    We apologize that we did not publish any information about the english version.
    We did not think it is difficult that we release Japanese product in overseas.

  100. I swear, this is going to become vaporware at this rate. You built up the hype, and now people are losing faith.

  101. That’s great to hear. Your progress on the PC version is pretty quick! I say this more then makes up for the delay.

    As for your English, I think you’re doing pretty good. It’s kind of stilted but it’s easily understandable.

  102. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    Now, there is no ability for Wii version to us.
    We are focused on to release as soon as possible either.

  103. I’m glad at least you guys are keeping us up to date, because Nicalis isn’t saying anything.

    I would like to know, if the PC version is finished before the WiiWare version is released, will you wait until the WiiWare version is out or will you sell it as soon as possible?

    Also, you should sell it on Steam!

  104. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    Thank you a lot of information and suggestions.
    We are considering a variety of release methods.
    We will tell when we’ve decided it in this blog.

  105. As for the methods to publish it, if legally possible on your situation, I recommend this ones:

    – STEAM: http://www.steampowered.com. VERY famous and very reliable. Light DRM but great public penetration. Windows and Mac support.

    – GOG: http://www.gog.com. From CD PROJEKT, the creators of The Witcher and The Witcher 2. No DRM and great public support. Not that great public penetration yet, but in ascent lately. Only Windows support at the moment.

    – DESURA: http://www.desura.com. Popular distribution platform, supporting Windows, Mac and Linux.

    – GamersGate: http://www.gamersgate.com. Another platform in ascend, supporting windows and Mac. No info about the DRM, but it’s popular too.

    – Origin: http://www.origin.com. Distribution platform from EA Games. Very heavy DRM and VERY intrusive software. Included here for completion, but, for me, this one is a great no-no.

    There are other, but this ones have with international support and they are reliable platforms, tested and secure. GOG is very interesting, because distributes the games without DRM, and this is good for the gamers. However, if this is a problem for you, STEAM has a good compromise between DRM and freedom to the user. All this, off course, is IMHO.

    Hope it helps!

    AT LAsT! an update!!!, THANK YOU GUYS!!, we are all excited that there will be a PC version coming soon. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

  107. Steam? Achievements?

  108. Thanks for the update guys, we really appreciate everything you do. I know that you’re all working really hard on getting this game released, especially after all the time you put into it. Kudos, and thank you for all that you have done. 🙂

    I have a couple of questions. What is the estimated price for the PC version, and will it be on Steam?

  110. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    About the price: It is not decided yet. We want as much as the price of Japanese Wii version.
    About the platform: I also wrote other comments, we are considering, including Steam.

    Ah, the norwegian wiiware site had La-Mulana scheduled for an April release so I had my hopes up and was frequently checking the wii store. As far as a PC goes a Steam release would be great. Will be buying it for PC and Wii anyway 🙂

  112. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    That would be pleasing to Naramura, the game director.
    New La-Mulana will make you a well-trained masochist, I suppose.

  113. At this point, I’m glad to hear anything, even if it’s really nothing. The game has made a masochist of me.

  114. thanks for keeping us posted! And your english has been good enough to get the point across, so don’t worry about that. ^_^

    Hopefully whatever the cause of the delay on their end gets resolved soon! Of the last remaining Wii/Wiiware titles I have to say this is still #1 on my list even after all this time!

  115. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    But also consider that we release this game on Steam, we need to examine the platform.

    Release the pc version on steam. I don’t care about any other medium of pc gaming. I repeat, all that matters is a steam release.

    Also, ****ing nicalis sucks so bad for making this take so long, as well as all of the lot check Nintendo bs… You guys have such a hard time, but steam barely has any quality control (tons of crappy stuff on steam), so it should be fast and easy at least

    Steam!

  117. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    I hope we can release this game on Steam.

  118. With how fast Nicalis have been pumping out Cave Story rehashes, I don’t think that Nintendo is entirely to blame for the lack of word from Nintendo Europe and America.

    It’s great to hear about the PC version nearly being done. It most likely means I’ll get this over the Wii version if they’re released at similar times.

    My answer, and likely what a lot of others will suggest, is to release the game on Steam.

  119. LA-MULANA STAFF says

    Thank you for the first comment.

    Your english is good. I can understand everything perfectly well! Looking forward to the release! ♥ La-Mulana
