The removal of the Donkey Kong Country games from Wii’s Virtual Console is now a worldwide affair.

First a notice was discovered on the European store about their impending disappearance. In North America, they were randomly taken down, seemingly without any notice. Now we’re hearing that the games will be taken down in Japan as well.

On December 8, all three Donkey Kong Country games will be removed from the Japanese Wii Shop Channel.

Why are you doing this, Nintendo?!

Nintendo TVii will be ready for the Japanese launch of Wii U next month.

Starting on December 8, the app will be available to all consumers in the country. Nintendo has teamed up with Syndicated G Guide for the service.

We’re waiting on concrete details as to how Nintendo TVii will work in Japan, but it sounds like it’ll be much different than the North American version. It seems as though the app mainly functions as a source of information. You can view downloaded details about TV programs to your Wii U and view that on the GamePad. Actual television watching is done on the television.

The screenshots look a bit compressed, so don’t worry about the graphical quality too much. You can see the game in motion for a few seconds here.

An unexpected Nintendo Direct mini was published by Nintendo’s Japanese division just a short while ago. The video reveals that, at least in Japan, a new “Golden Classic Course Pack” for New Super Mario Bros. 2 will be free for a limited time. The Big N is making this offer available to celebrate the news of 300 billion coins collected in the game worldwide.

Each of the DLC’s levels are based on ones found in Mario titles of old. Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata said that questionnaire feedback helped the team in determining which courses would be included.

Remade levels from Super Mario Bros. include 1-1, 1-2, and 1-4. Super Mario Bros. 3’s 1-1 and 1-5 will be represented, too. Courses feature hidden routes, and if you come across them, you’ll wind up in other classic areas.

Players can download the Golden Classic Course Pack for free between November 27 and January 1. From then on, it’ll cost 200 yen.
