*In November 2012, the ''Donkey Kong Country'' SNES trilogy was unlisted from the Wii Shop Channel in all regions except South Korea. On November 25, 2012, the games became "unavailable for purchase" on the European Wii Shop, though they were removed in North America without any prior warning. Nearly two years later, in October 2014, the ''Donkey Kong Country'' trilogy was released on the Wii U Virtual Console, and were added back to the Wii Virtual Console around the same time. It is unknown why the games were unlisted, but it could be due to legal issues with Microsoft, who acquired the games' development studio, [[Rare Ltd.|Rare]], in 2002. At its time of removal, each ''Donkey Kong Country'' title was still available to be re-downloaded by players who had purchased the games during their time of availability. | *In November 2012, the ''Donkey Kong Country'' SNES trilogy was unlisted from the Wii Shop Channel in all regions except South Korea.
