For now, the Wii U version remains available on physical media at around $30 in North America. Maybe it’ll pop back up, say, a week after the Switch port has been out? I’ll circle back then and update. There’s still a lot of unaccounted for space between all of these dates so I’m going to wait before adding the game to the site in case this was all a big mistake. Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze Big Top Bop. The latest capture that shows the download was available is from all the way back in October of 2017. Download Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze - Big Top Bop Boss - Pompy, the Presumptuous 115952286. The last capture from February 25th is missing any reference to the eShop version. While the thinking is that the game was delisted in a nefarious push to get consumers to buy the more expensive Switch port, shows it may have been removed a while ago. The game is still available to download from both Nintendo Europe and Japan. I did a quick check and, sure enough, the “Buy Digital” link has been removed… but only in North America.
If a Wii U owner wants it they can get it so what does making it just slightly harder to come by accomplish?Īnd there are already several Wii U-to-Switch ports and I don't recall any of them being discontinued from the online store.Leading up to the May 4th release of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze on the Switch, one redditor decided to revisit the original title on Wii U this week and found it was missing from the eShop. The game is also plentiful in the used market. It seems to be a pretty easy game to find a physical copy of so this is just discouraging one specific type of sale. And if you really want this for the Wii U there I still see tons of copies at my local Wal-mart.
If the Wii U game sales were a serious threat to Switch sales then the Wii U would have been successful enough that a new Nintendo console probably wouldn't have come out yet in the first place. The whole reason all these Wii U games are getting re-released is because they're like new games for most of the Switch userbase. Having any sort of concern about a Wii U game affecting Switch sales is silly since it's actually pretty hard to get a Wii U these days and hardly anyone owned one when it was current.
