No idea what this one is all about. I wonder why they'd yank them now, after all this time. Thanks to NintenDaan for the heads up!

Maybe it has something to do with rare?

[Cave Story]

Wait... WAT? Meh... oh well. I just hope they don't remove them from NA too.

[Wave]

Well, that's crap. I feel for you guys, all three of those are great games.

Will have to make it a point to download them as soon as I pick up my Wii U in case something like this happens in North America.

[cazakara]

Nintendo probably has some plans for them on Wii U and want to make sure those versions sell. That is my guess.

[SDDMN]

I hope this isn't some legal thing with Rare.

Unless I'm mistaken, doesn't Nintendo hold rights over Donkey, Diddy, Cranky, and maybe Dixie?

[toadster101]

I hope this isn't some legal thing with Rare.

It isn't, Nintendo owns all rights to those games.

[Zaakro]

I own the originals. I'm good

/me quickly downloads 2 and 3 that I didn't before.

[ButtonBash]

I'm happy to have gotten all 3 already, but that doesn't change the fact that this is surprising. Has anything been removed before?

[bellboy]

I hope the Wii U will accept them for the transfer...

[YoshiRider123]

Plenty of times before, yeah.

[Autosaver]

Donkey Kong Collection?

[Frank]

Didn't they already get removed somewhere else briefly? Weird though, it'd be nice to hear why, and if they'll be available again later.

Here we go, the original disappeared for a short time in NA earlier this year. That was very brief though, so I'm not sure rhe same will happen here.

[Mirr0rR3flection]

I had all the VC DKCs once……but then a robber stole my Wii…

…well at least I beat them before they took it. <:-)

[Johnknight1]

What games specifically been removed before=???

Also, if they're removing it, hopefully this is to fix something with these 3 masterpieces or replace these 3 masterpieces with something better version of them.

[Zanreo]

Whoa, crap. Better download 2 and 3...
