Topic: Donkey Kong Country pulled from Wii Shop Channel (Update: it's back!)

This sounds like something Reggie would do.

"God, work is boring today. Only seven JRPGs to deny localization. Hmm, what else can I do to rile my long-time customers? Oh I know, I'll take DKC down for a couple of days!" cackles all the way down the hall to the big machine that holds all of our childhood memories and brutally yanks the DKC cartridge out

Well he did try to trick Iwata and Miyamoto to get trapped in a 3DS chased by Bowser so I expect him to do anything in his quest to take over the world.

I thought this was true. Thanks it back to VC. I hope someday they announce with anticipation when they quit games from VC.

TMNT, sms R-Type, and a lot of wiiware games. Please announce when a game is out of shop so we can buy it.

no wonder the wii shop is in a sorry state. if people actually bought the games they wanted instead of waiting for what ever, we wouldn`t see so many games being pulled, and posibley more games would have gone up too.
i understand that people might not want another copy if they own the original games that are on the VC. but not everybody does, and there needs to be a bit more sales of games if devs are going to take notice of the fact that the wii shop can generate some sort of profit and release more games.

It's not as simple as that - it's down to money in my case. VC games arn't cheap and in these hard times I have to prioritise what I spend my money on and some games, despite the fact I really want them, sometimes have to wait. It's that or not be able to pay my electricity bill, in which case I wouldn't be able to play it anyway.

It is true, we like a lot of VC games but it is impossible to buy them in an instant. The games are a bit expensive if you collect a lot. I wish like 10 or 15 more games (i have more of 50 VC games) but it is more than 500 dls if i download them, and i have to play the already ones i bought so i can´t buy only to buy, i have to play and enjoy them first.

yeah i checked the shop and all 3 Donkey KongCountrysare there

This topic title should really be renamed to reflect that DKC is back on the shop to avoid confusing people.

Or at least locked...

I recall a similar incident with Ghosts N' Goblins when the arcade version appeared. Maybe a DK game is coming? /Speculation

Edit: Or a glitch like the first page said.

there, now we can all move on.
