Go! Go! Kokopolo will be removed from the Nintendo DSiWare service on August 31. This is what CIRCLE Entertainment announced to GoNintendo.

The surprisingly entertaining DSiWare title featured colorful art and a zany mechanic that involved a cat running around, annoying other creatures so they would chase him, and then leading those critters to certain doom. Currently, there are no reasons given on why the title will be removed, but the removal will be permanent, CIRCLE confirmed.

There was a sequel announced to Go! Go! Kokopolo two years ago and this would come to the Nintendo 3DS eShop. There have been very little updates on the development of the sequel however, and it's future remains uncertain. 80 new stages, 10 new boss fights and multiple playable characters were promised, but this removal could be a sign of things to come.

Looks like I'm headed to the eshop. Gonna be dropping 7.99 but this was a fairly late dsiware game, released in 2011. Interesting that this one is going so quickly.

The other thing, neither you, or the source article mention if it will remain on the eshop. I'd assume no but I know there are cases of games removed from one but staying on the other.
