Delisting
Four releases from publisher Unity Games Japan — Ballpoint Universe: Infinite, Girls Like Robots, Nihilumbra, Stick it to the Man!, and Teslagrad — were delisted from the Nintendo Wii U eShop in Japan on December 28th, 2016.
While Unity Games Japan gave a brief advanced notice ahead of the delistings, they offered no explanation. It is likely that their removal relates to the closure of Unity Games Japan and its parent company, Unity Games. Neither organization published another game after 2016 and all of their released titles were delisted by 2018. A few of these titles remain available from a different publisher or in specific territories.
The game was later delisted from the Nintendo Wii U eShop in North America (but not Europe), presumably between 2018 and 2019. This timeframe marks a period where several independently published releases were being removed from the platform, allegedly because Nintendo was no longer renewing their developer/publisher licenses.
About the Game
“Meet Ray, he lives in a world where everything is made out of paper and stickers. One day he has an accident and wakes up with a giant pink spaghetti arm sticking out of his brain. This gives him awesome powers and he can suddenly change the world around him by folding it, tearing it, pulling stickers off and sticking them elsewhere! And if that weren’t enough, Ray can also read peoples minds!
Digging into the brains of his fellow citizens, Ray can hear their thoughts and use that to his advantage. Unfortunately, Ray doesn’t have much time to get to grips with his new abilities. He is framed by ‘The Man’ with a crime he didn’t commit, and is on the run. Can you help to get Ray out of this sticky situation? Get ready to tear it, rip it and Stick it to the Man!“
