Rock Band’s downloadable content is coming to an end. After the drop on April 2, Harmonix will finally cease its work on the game.

The company announced during the PAX East: The Harmonix Rock Band Party last night that Rock Band’s last DLC will be Don McLean’s “American Pie”, which is included in the April 2 update.

We should have the Rock Band Music Store update for March 26 in just a few hours.

A couple of new games can be purchased at Best Buy at a discount. Kirby Mass Attack is available for $7.99 while Sin and Punishment 2 is going for $9.99.

Both games are available for shipping at the moment. I’m not sure how much stock Best Buy has on-hand, but you could also look for the two games in-store.

Wii U sold a disappointing 35,000 units in the UK for the month of January. Things weren’t any better in February – sales were worse, actually.

The latest data shows that Wii U sales stood at 25,000 units last month. Revenue also dipped from £1.2mm to £0.8mm. Year-to-date Wii U sales are now at 60,000 units and £2.0mm in revenue.

Amazingly enough, the Wii was Nintendo’s best-performing system in the UK for February, beating out the DS and even the 3DS.

Wii – 125K
NDS – 110K

When you think about it, the fact that Nintendo allowed Next Level Games to make Super Mario Strikers was somewhat unexpected. The studio was a bit unproven at the time yet the Big N nonetheless allowed the developer to get its hands on some of the company’s most-beloved characters.

You might be wondering: how did Next Level’s partnership with Nintendo begin? It was actually the initiative on the part of Next Level that got the ball rolling. The team first decided to make a Mario soccer demo “with no direction from Nintendo”.
