It looks like we might soon be able to play the original Super Mario Galaxy on Wii U. The 3D platformer has been rated by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) for its upcoming re-release through the console’s Virtual Console. The game launched via the service in Japan last May and its fantastic sequel, Super Mario Galaxy 2, has been available for purchase on Wii U since January.
Super Mario Galaxy Has Been Rated By The ESRB For Wii U
We need Mario Galaxy 3, not another port or remake on the Wii U.
It’s a Virtual Console game that has already been out in Japan…. We’re not getting “another port”, we’re getting a port that already exists…
Galaxy 3 wont ever happen, get that through your fucking skull. Each console has it’s Mario style, N64 had Mario 64, Gamecube had Sunshine, Wii had Galaxy, Wii U had 3D World. Galaxy is done and never coming back.
3D World was a sequel to 3D Land on 3DS. And Galaxy, although both were on Wii, did receive a sequel. I don’t think Nintendo operates exclusively on that rule that you apparently take so seriously.
Actually Nintendo already said they were open to making Galaxy 3.
Can they PLEASE bump up the resolution to 1080p? 480 looks junky. It’s not that hard at all.
Wii games are fine and dandy…..but you’d think they’d be attracting a wider market if they ported more GC and N64 titles that are a pain in the ass to find nowadays.
Like Super Smash Bros and Super Smash bros Melee
I’d rather have a physical copy instead than downloading Wii ports from the eShop due to taking huge chunks of space with Metroid Prime Trilogy being an exception…expensive af :(
I think you can still
It’s only a VC release, I still have the selects version that’s 20 bucks on Amazon
CRAP! I thought this meant an HD version was coming to Wii U. Not the same one we can already play on Wii U .
It does seem a bit daft to have a virtual console game you can already play the physical copy of. I too would like to see more GameCube & N64 games as they are not physical compatible with the console and fans are more likely to purchase them than games (on Wii) they can pick up 3 for 2 at their local GAME store.
I only want Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber in my virtual console, c’mon Nintendo and Atlus! Give it to me!
I would love mario galaxy 3.
but even if its mario galaxy 1 & 2 remake HD 1080p 60fps… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_DCs29xw2A

Am I the only one who still wants a Super Mario Sunshine HD remake? I mean, if they can remake Zelda in HD, why not Mario?
Games like Super Mario Galaxy that you can still find today for around 50 bucks should not be getting a virtual console release on Wii U. Games like Metroid Prime Trilogy or Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem, on the other hand… Of course, MPT already got it’s Wii U digital release. Just need Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem! Then again, I’d rather Eternal Darkness get an HD treatment with updated graphics.
