It was revealed last week that a number of Sonic titles would be removed from the Japanese European Wii Shop Channel. Fortunately, the move will not impact other territories.

SEGA was able to confirm today that the upcoming removals “will not affect Europe, only Japan”. Based on this statement, it seems as though the titles will stay on the North American store as well.
