Is it a rights issue? There is no one to pay the royalties to?

Hmm... I might need to man up and buy Military Madness. Loved the TG-16 version, and it would be a shame to miss out on this release if it gets pulled from WiiWare in North America too.

You'll get more enjoyment out of the Ninja Spirit Retroactive than playing it, methinks.

All those VC games are made by Irem.  Did they get bought out by another company or something like that?

At least they gave some advance warning this time, in case anyone wants to buy them before they become unavailable.

Yeah, something happened to Irem but I don't know what. Kinda sad since they made the first game I bought for my Game Boy back in the day (R-Type).
