Delistings plaguing Wii’s Virtual Console service
by Matt Keller on Mar.07, 2012, under News
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. R-Type. Bloody Wolf.
Only one of these games is considered a classic, but they all have something in common – they’re no longer available on the Wii Virtual Console, or are scheduled to be delisted.
Nintendo has been doing very little in the way of updates for the Virtual Console service on the Wii in the last 18 months (though five games will be working their way towards the EU Virtual Console service this month), and now the service is arguably going backwards. The three games mentioned in the opening line are but a sample of the list of titles that will be a part of Virtual Console history.
Wasn’t digital distribution meant to put an end to discontinuation of stock?

There’s also no second hand market possible. Apparently it’s licencing issues.
Of course, piracy makes it all possible…
