Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime was recently asked whether Nintendo GameCube games will come to the Nintendo eShop for Wii U. Fils-Aime responded to the question by saying Nintendo currently has nothing to announce, but he would personally love for it to happen.
Will GameCube games ever come to the [Wii U] Virtual Console?
“That is a great question. And personally I would love for that to happen, but we have nothing to announce right now.”
Sadly your representatives don’t agree with you, since this was announced last year
Hey guys guess what…Microsoft has……….renewed the license for KILLER INSTINCT HILY FUCKING SHIT KILLER FUCKING INSTINCT!!!!!!!!
BOY AND GIRLS PLAY TIME IS OVER >:) NINTENDO WATCH YOUR ASS ! BILL GATES IS OUT FOR BLOOD!
-_-
mister bill gates is a big man with big balls and pinnase too.SO WATCH OUT NINTENDRONES!
Considering he is “in a way” retired from his job and left Microsoft in the hands of Steve Ballmer? Hardly scary.
zzzzzzz………..
You do realize that companies renew copyright all the time and never use it right? Besides RARE sucks now so it will probably involve avatars
Never heard of Killer Instinct. So…Meh.
I don’t think that it was announced. It’s more of common sense that they are doing this.
I dont wanna skip out Windwaker since I skipped out the whole gamecube gen
I went straight from N64 to Nintendo Wii
(After my N64 finally broke down,Shock Horror)
So I actually also skipped out on the Gamecube era unfortunately
You missed out on some very good games my friend :(
You mean some great cookies.
good thing the Wii is backwards compatible then ;)
Shame that the really good Gamecube games are usually pretty expensive though…
the same thing happaned to me,at the time i could not afford the gamecube so i played my n64 games for many years,i never have got to play mario super sunshine and i wish for the wii u to get gamecube games on eshop so i can.
I’d love to play Wind Waker on Wii U. It was a great game.
I want Windwaker.
And I want Baten Kaitos… or wait, I got the dolphin
And I want your mother in my kitchen
I still have my copy
Windwaker hd**
love to have StarWars Rogue Squadron on my WiiU
i would love to see wind waker hd, or the orginal wind waker on the VC.
I think we all would Nintendo needs to make it happen.
Here’s hoping that they put up Twilight Princess. It’s one of the Zelda games i’ve yet to play and I would prefer the GameCube version over the Wii one.
Doubt they would put it up.
Bummer……
If gamecube games are up, I have no doubt Twilight Princess will be. It’s one of the best games of all time.
Yeah I don’t think they’ll put that up any time soon considering it’s on the Wii and Wii games will work on the Wii U. Yeah I know, some people prefer the Gamecube version, but as long as the Wii version of Twilight Princess is readily available, Nintendo don’t have much reason to put it up as a download.
poooooopppp
Gee Reggie if only you were in a position at Nintendo to actually do something about it….
It’s not his fault that NoA doesn’t include the headquarters. He probably has influence, but not nearly enough as Iwata or Miyamoto.
That would be cool. Also, HD GC remakes? =p
makes too much sense, but honestly hd would practically double the download size and i think lots of gamecube games are fine without it
It depends on the games. There are HD remakes that do not take up too much space on the Vita, PS3, and 360.
Also, while this article is obviously talking about downloadable titles, HD remakes don’t only have to be on the eshop. Disc-based remakes. :D
They’ve done 3d remakes am I right? I’m knocking on wood now……
Make it happen, Ninty!
i hate to say this but every since the PS3 dropped PS2 Support companies have fallen into this milking of old games we already own on old systems since the new systems only support Backwards Compatability through digital means for really old games its a bummer when your pauing multiple times for the same exact game!
I wouldn’t compare Nintendo to PS3 here. Unlike them, the wii was backwards compatible to the last generation and the Wii U is to the one before it. GCN games are great but years and years old.. I don’t think milking anything comes into play here. If anything I’m glad. It makes the Wii U cheaper so most of the people buying the Wii U will save money. I’d love to play some GameCube games. But I see no reason why they should feel pressured to have included it.
Plus it’s not like Nintendo is forcing you to get rid of your Wii. If you still have GameCube discs by all means keep the Wii, or even if you still have a GameCube just play your games on that.
Exactly. Heck, it might even be cheaper to buy a disc from Vintage Stock than download it, especially if the request is backwards compatibility you’d think you’d already have it. I know not everyone has kept their Wii or GameCube but they’re definitely available.
He knows its gonna happen because it was planned out in advance to milk the gamers!
Except people still have the option to keep their GameCube/Wii and GC games.
IF REGGIE SAYS IT IS SO, IT IS SOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Best Zelda art ever!
Can’t wait to play Gamecube games via HDMI
I doubt it would make much difference since GameCube games weren’t made with HD in mind.
You can all ready! Buy a wii hdmi adapter!
We would all love for this to happen Reggie.
Give me Gotcha Force
Oh plz Milk us already with it!!!!!!
SSBM for WII U now thats plan.
It would be nice for when they don’t have anything at all coming out for a few months to throw a gc game in between but even if they do they will be slow with releases. The eshop is an example that comes to my mind.
As far as I know, GameCube games WILL be coming to the E-shop.
I’d also like to see Sega Saturn and Dreamcast games on there too.
Here’s hoping for metroid hd!
I’d buy them, hopefully Star Fox Assault will be available since I never got to play that game
This would be awesome without a doubt, but also worrying as to how much they would charge. I look at the prices on the Wii Virtual console and 3DS e-shop and shudder sometimes. How much would Nintendo charge for re-releases of Gamecube titles; £10/£15, maybe more? Are we willing to pay that much for a game that we’ve already played and probably still own? I know I couldn’t resist one or two myself after giving in to some of the more recent HD re-releases on other consoles.
Unless Reggie is lying, I also find it worrying that there are no plans/annoucements for Gamecube games on the e-shop yet…actually there hasn’t been hardly any annoucements for the e-shop yet. I’m looking forward to the Wii-U (more to unannounced future Nintendo titles really), but I can’t help but feel sometimes that this console has been rushed out the door under pressure from what ever sources.
The e-shop has so much potential and I think I would have bought every title on the Wii’s virtual console, but the prices really put me off; here’s to hoping.
there are many gamecube games people seek to this day, make it happen nintendo!
if they were to just include the nintendo selects/player’s choice GC games, that’s a huge library in itself and i’d love to have tales of symphonia again, you can’t find that game anymore :C.
Reblogged this on Gigable – Tech Blog.
oh, wind waker: widescreen & hd…
:Q____
It wont be in HD or widescreen , They will just scale it , and besides ..PS2 games are better than shitty gamecube games
Oh Nessy! How do you know it won’t be in HD hmmm? :3 Do you work for Nintendo now?
N64 games ran on wii at twice their original resolution!!
So its not unreasonable to suggest that HD/Widescreen GC games could be released on wii U
Reggie screwed up nintendo and so did cammie that old hag , Reggie is a fat shit that ruined the relationship between Nin USA and Nin JAP and wont bring Mother 3 to the western world, and this doesnt confirm that gamecube games are coming to Wii U he’s probably lying , Remember when they said Mother 3 coming to virtual console? LOL FAIL SHITENDO
How is he lying? Reggie just said he would love to put them on the eshop. He never said that it’s 100% hapening. Learn to read.
*happening
Why would anyone want to buy a game they already have on gamecube? unless their gamecube got broken or something.
I would only buy games I have never played before.
The only GameCube game I currently still have is Luigi’s Mansion and I would love to be able to download more to my Wii U.

i still have my game cube i think i will need to hunt it out when i upgrade to Wii U. the cube was a console. also i liked it on windwaker you plugged in a gameboy advanced. it was the same with crystal chronicles
That would be amazingly awesome if it happens. GameCube was an excellent system. Leave luck to heaven.
Nintendo Shitcube was A PIECE UV FUGGIN SHEET! TAKE A LUK AT DIS FUGGIN GAME! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/72/GameCube_disc.png DIS IS A NINTENDO GAMECUBE GAME! THIS LUK LIEK A FUGGIN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE!
Yeah, so?
It’s over, Nintendo is finished.
Reblogged this on Nintendo Wire.
I think they need to wait for games to turn 10 Years old before releasing them on VC.
Oh, it will come. I suspect that’s one of the reasons they removed Gamecube support from the Wii. This way, even though I have Windwaker sitting on a shelf I have to rebuy it to enjoy it on my Wii U =) Brilliant! Sony did the same thing.
I hope they do put Gamecube games on the Wii U eShop so then the Wii U could have games from all Nintendo home console’s from the NES all the way up to the Wii U games themselves. If they do put Gamecube games on there then I hope they put games such as Super Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart: Double Dash!! , Mario Party 4 – 7, Wario World, Zelda Wind Waker, Four Swords Adventures & Twilight Princess, Kirby Air Ride, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Pokemon Colosseum & XD: Gale of Darkness, Star Fox Adventures & Assault and more.
I thought they’d already said it’s likely there’ll be GC games on the Wii U eshop? Similar to how N64 games are on the Wii shop channel. I just assumed it was a given? But not from release which I can understand, maybe in a year or so when more people have the Wii U.

Super Mario Sunshine on Wii U would be awesome, whether it be Virtual Console, HD Remake, or, my personal favorite, a sequel.
