Nintendo has deleted an upcoming Wii Virtual Console games page on its Japanese website. The move has sparked speculation that the company could be looking to bring the service to an end sometime soon.
As of now, Nintendo still seems to be supporting the Wii VC in North America and Europe. World Heroes 2 came out in the states just last week. Europe received the VC title Ninja Master’s Haoh-Ninpo-Cho on January 10.
Fire Emblem: Awakening download takes up nearly 8,600 blocks

Fire Emblem: Awakening will be available at retail and through digital means when it launches next month. If you decide to download the title, make sure you have 8,579 blocks of free space on an SD card.
Awakening is one of the larger retail titles, but the size isn’t too bad. It takes up more space compared to Super Mario 3D Land, Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, and Paper Mario: Sticker Star, though it’s certainly less than Style Savvy: Trendsetter’s 10,500 blocks.

GameStop on Wii U wait list figure compared to actual sales
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Early reports from GameStop stated that 500,000 customers were on the retailer’s Wii U wait list. But as we now know, only 320,000 consoles were sold in November and December.
GameStop spokesperson Matt Hodges explained the discrepancy:
“Our initial allocation from Nintendo was not 500,000 units. We never disclosed that number; we only stated that we had reserved thru those units in the first 48 hours of them being offered. NPD reported sales of 463,000 Wii U units in the U.S. in December. That number added with those sold in November brings the LTD total to 888,000.”
Hodges went on to say that a person being on a wait list doesn’t necessarily translate to a sale:
“One thing to consider about the people who signed up for our waiting list is that they had no financial commitment to do so. So it is possible that they purchased their Wii U from another retailer.”
