The SNES Donkey Kong Country games have magically disappeared from the North American Wii Shop Channel.

Europe will be receiving the same treatment, as the titles will be taken down on November 25. But in North America, there was absolutely no warning given about the removal of the Donkey Kong Country games.

And no, we still have no clue why Nintendo has decided to do this.

For some unknown reason, Nintendo is pulling the three SNES Donkey Kong Country games from the European Wii Shop Channel. Donkey Kong Country 1-3 will all be removed on November 25.

At this time, it is not at all clear why Nintendo has made this decision.

GameStop is reporting a software tie-in ratio for Wii U that is much higher than its predecessor.

At the moment, GameStop has recorded 1.2 million pre-orders for Wii U games. The retailer was given 500,000 units of allocated console stock, which saw sell-outs very soon after consumers could begin forking over money for the system.

Based on the reported figures, GameStop is seeing a tie ratio of 2.4 games for every Wii U console. The statistic is double the amount Wii experienced as its launch was approaching back in 2006.

GameStop said pre-orders have been strong for New Super Mario Bros. U, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, ZombiU, Assassin’s Creed III, and Scribblenauts Unlimited.
