Publisher Nicalis announced last night on Twitter that it would not publish the retro-inspired, cave-exploring WiiWare title La-Mulana in North America nor Europe. The publisher informed GoNintendo that WiiWare sales are “almost non-existent” and that it would be “near impossible to sell sufficient units on WiiWare” to make it worth the publisher’s efforts.
“The WiiWare market has a fraction of the players from 2008,” Nicalis producer Tyrone Rodriguez wrote in a statement. “The window for release and success of software on the platform ended in 2009 and took a very steep decline. Players have moved onto other digital download platforms.”
