Based on the source code for the Nintendo Direct page in the UK, NeoGAF member Aquamarine is certain that Wii U Virtual Console will be revealed today, during the Wii U-focused Nintendo Direct. Aquamarine claims that “Virtual Console (Wii U)” was recently added to the Nintendo web page. This is not too far-fetched, as Nintendo President Satoru Iwata yesterday confirmed that he will talk about Nintendo-developed services during the online presentation, which airs January 23rd, at 9 a.m. ET.
Please let it be so.
Bout Time…hope it’s not a let down… i want GC games…if we can’t get GC then at least MORE 64 titles
OR fucking GBA games!!
But I love Game Boy Advance games like golden sun and Pokemon Ruby. The ambassador program had some really good games a while back
There are so many great titles they could put on the VC if they include GC.
There’s no way that Nintendo won’t include Gamecube games in it’s Virtual Console especially due to the fact that the Gamecube is 2 generations old. Most likely they’ll have the games upscaled in HD and they have already confirmed that the Virtual Console games will be transferrable to the Gamepad. I don’t really see them including GBA games unless they choose the Japan-only ones that never made it stateside updated in English. However, I think Nintendo will mention some surprise titles. A few that people didn’t see coming but they’ll save the megaton bomb games for E3
I doubt they’ll upscale to HD because Wii games aren’t even upscaled in HD.
They may eventually have the GBA games on the 3DS eshop. If they could give GBA games to tpeople who bought the Wii3DS before the price cut, then the idea to offer them on the eshop has to be a possibility.
I really hope they eventually do it… My aqua blue 3ds broke, so I took the ad card out to see if I could put all my downloaded games into my xl and nooope! I guess they could only work on the ambassador 3DS… Which realllly sucks :(
Wii3ds??? How did thay happen?? XD I meant 3ds lol
I’m really wishing for the mother games! Probably not, but it would be really great. They could at least do that for the Mother fans lol.
Please sikr and alba , for the love of God and all things Humane , ban the spam trolls…..
They’re just completely destroying the integrity of your comment section. It never had a lot of integrity in the first place , but this is an all time low…..
I really would like to know what motivates people like N Runs It and Sly Cooper Lust Man to act like such brain-dead tools.
They probably have some serious mental illness m which is harsh but probably true. Do they think it’s funny ? cus to be funny you actually HAVE TO BE FUCKING FUNNY.
Writing a load of what appears to be horse shit all over a Nintendo forum is the oppisite of being funny.
I
Shut the woof up! You’re not funny! Quit trying!
He’s a child with no friends, it’s clear he needs attention, momma was a drinker and father left, sad but true.
You have cancer in your breath and I hope a plane crashes into your house…
This doesn’t help. Ignore them, or if you are to reply, don’t say crap like that. I support Nintendo but wouldn’t ever wish someone dead.
I’m only joking , should made that a bit more obvious though lol.
Yeah, but you really don’t need to bring up things like that. It just makes you look like a dick.
whats ruining the comment section is the fact you idiots buy nintendo products. if this site was about playstation it would have way more integrity. You all are the cause of the death of sega but playstation is killing nintendo. jus tlook at the sales numbers
Zzzzzzzz………..(Snore)……Zzzzzzz…….Ha whaaa oh sorry I dozed off there. Sorry I get abit bored reading the same comments over and over again.
Haha so true xD
Oh boo hoo, nobody here will add you to your playstation 3 and you’re saaaaad.
Cry us a river, build a bridge, and get over it.
Oh, and troll harder.:P
What numbers are you looking at? Wii outsold PS3 by a landslide and aren’t they selling 4 3DS’ for every 1 Vita sold?
How can anybody actually defend Sony? I dunno what happened to them since the PS2 days but since the PS3 launched, they’ve done nothing but bash Nintendo and then copy whatever Nintendo did the year prior, but some how still manage to mess it up.
They manage to mess it up because they copy things from Nintendo that a lot of people already have.
One word: Vita
Seriously, Fuck off you troll.
Its like the Vita is actually beating the 3DS, and the Ps3 sold more than the Wii. What sort of acid-trip world do you live in? Sony is hemorrhaging money and you’ll be lucky to see a Ps4 at this rate, the company is nearly bankrupt.
Ugh I know!!! That one Sly Cooper pervert dude is really creepy… I actually wasted my time asking it to stop in another post…. How foolish I was >_>
Yeah, just like how Pokemon Direct was going to be about Pokemon Rainbow.
Big difference here. It was confirmed that the next Pokemon game was on the 3DS due to the coding of the web page.
Man, I was thinking the exact same thing when I read this.
This is completely different. Unlike Pokémon Rainbow, a Virtual Console for Wii U has been confirmed by Nintendo.
You mean WILL be confirmed. :P But I don’t know, its just something that has to do with Nintendo Direct and rumors that just don’t bode to well with me. Of course, unlike the uncreditable anonymous source that spouted pure nonsense about the new Pokemon games; this actually has a credible source, and a good lead with the webpage source code.
I’m pretty sure that this was confirmed, but is yet to be announced. Correct me if I’m wrong.
It’s about time. Virtual Console should have been there on day one.
mother….
I hope so! Want something other than Trine 2 to download.
get mighty switch force too. it’s pretty fucking good.
Nano assault is pretty fucking good aswell :)
oh shit, haven’t tried that one yet.
Whilst were still swearing , Get off the shitter and download the fuck out of that game immediately!!! Awesome 60FPS graphics , Dual screen multiplayer , Online scoreboards and is generally just a very good game for its low price.
well fucking shit the cunt out of this ass twat. sound pretty good. the cave looks pretty damn good too
I bought The Cave, decent game and kinda funny, but has a terrible framerate.
Wiiu version has terrible framerate? Reviews are suggesting the 360 and ps3 versions to have bad framerates too …
I have it for the WiiU, I dont think it has anything to do with the platform it’s on. Maybe they can fix it with a patch.
Hopefully. There is litteraly nothing worse in gaming than framerate issues :/ . People shouldn’t even be aloud to release games unless they’re 30FPS locked , minimum.
it has a bad framerate on the wiiu? what a shame. well, guess i’ll get it on pc then
I think it’s the code, not the platforms. Might have framerate issue on PC as well I would look into it if I were you. Still worth it though, kinda.
Shit son!!!!! Yeah the cave looks like the sniznizzle. So far Trine 2 , MSFHD , Nano assault , Little inferno and the cave all seem to be worth downloading . Even chasing Arora is supposed shite fuckingly good.
calm down ward don’t let them get to u we haft to have sum kind of sanity on this site
i hope its for gamecube games aswell
it would be silly to not have gamecube games.
Games better not be too expensive lol
They should range from 10 to 15 dollars each imo. N64 should probably be lowered a tiny bit too since they’ve been available for a while and the introduction of GameCube games may make them look a little overpriced. I guess it really depends on the GC pricing. If GCN gas where, say $13, it may make the 64 games look pricey but if they where $15, then the pricing seems balanced when looking at all the vc pricing for other platforms. :p
Hope So!
Same … Imagine an upscaled Wind Waker with the gamepad functioning as your map/inventory…
And suddenly. . . i feel whole.
Wind waker
Tales of symphonia
Paper mario thousand years old door
Resident evil 4
Luigi’s mansion
Kirby air rides
Mario double dash
Just some tittles I would like to see in the futur
OMG!! Wind Waker! I hope so!! Also, you forgot Mario Sunshine.
Melee… C’mon it’s a no brainer
Mario Kart. Star fox. Rouge squadron. F-Zero. Skies of Arcadia. I could go on..sooo many awesome games.
Yeah! Mario Sunshine!!! I haven’t played that game in foreverrrrrrr! XD
What no love for Custom Robo and Chibi-Robo?
Oh yeah, I loved custom robo! Never played chibi robo though T_T they may not be among some of the first to he released, but if Gamecube games will be on the virtual console, then they’ll definitely come at some point! This is a bit off topic, but I would love the addition of Sega CD games just so I can play Sonic CD without pulling out Sonic Gems collection every time… On that note. Dreamcast games too!!! Like Shenmue!
haft to be gamecube games
If true, it’s about time.
You are a headache. Reading your comments is the same as using heroine every day for 3 years and then just all of a sudden giving up and then going into the most extreme of cold turkeys.
lol
I kinda wanna see what this message said now lol
Along with that republished Earthbound game?
Direct copy-paste from the page’s source code:
wiiu_virtualconsole” : ‘Virtual Console (Wii U)
Also found this, there might be a Pokemon mini Virtual Console too! :
“pokemonmini_cartridge” : ‘Pokémon mini’,
no more lego, no more piknmin, we need new games!
Like new IP’s? I agree! Though I’d be happy of I just saw something Smash Bros related lol
goldeneye hd with online
Good idea, I am hoping for Mario Sunshine. Such a beautiful game…
Can you even IMAGINE the number of cheap bastards that would play as Odd Job just to easily evade fire?XD
Nintendo better have PS2 games for the Wii U VC or they are FINISHED!
Hello Neutron. Been a while, huh?
You are an idiot
im referring to neutron, not you slenderman
That made me laugh. Good job, man.
If so I am hoping for Virtual Console version of MARIO SUNSHINE on the game cube!!! :D
Me too! That was a big game for me growing up! It was my 12th birthday present XD
I hope they make something similar like 3D classics but instead have HD Classic where the games would be formatted to 1080p or 720p and have a gamepad functionality, and it could even have the original game booklet that came with it, but in a digital format, or better yet for an extra $6.00 it will come with a digital guide book which you can look at when u pause the game… well i can always dream :)
Let’s hope your dreams come true because that sounds like an awesome idea. I also would like to see Nintendo let you transfer your games from Wii VC to WII U VC and add in off-screen play functionality.
I thiink Sega is making an HD Sonic Adventure too, so maybe Nintendo will be doing something similar? I would LOVE that!! My only thing is that some fans are getting a little mad at all the remakes… :(
By the way, cute dog! It reminds me of a Beagle I once had named Yoshi lol :D
Imagine how Smash Melee will look like in 1080p.
My nipples just hardened.
It better have onpine mp, or its all for nothing.
*online
AS much as I would like it Melee on the VC will not have online. VC games are ports and are changed as little as possible from the original form.
Well you’re prob right but I think Nintendo really needs to up thier online mp support, VC is a perfect opportunity for them. Would attract a lot of attention if they did this.
Wow now we not only have to deal with current nintendo crapware, but not we have to deal with it from the past, and way over priced as that. Ohh goodie maybe they will release the care bars
This troll is boring me. Can we get a new one?
Not today there too busy trolling ign at the moment maybe another day…
All trolling representatives are currently busy. Please hold until one of our troll becomes available. *insert cheesy hold music*
we are all waiting
Shouldn’t you be eating your 4th dinner?
’m the good one, and she’s fatty, and fatties love troll sandwiches
do you own anything nintendo?
I’m the good one, and she’s fatty, and fatties love troll sandwiches
Right you are Amy Rose :P they feed off the attention like a pack of rabid wolves…. *shudders* O_o
*Rabid hedgehogs
Lol!
Now THIS is the Amy i like.
Perhaps there will ne both GameCube AND Dreamcast games??? I mean, it’s not impossible since there’s already Genesis and Master system games for the Wii VC. :D who else would wanna see some DC games available?
Me! I figured though that the rereleases of dreamcast games that were ported to Gamecube will be GC only games, while I’m sure Wii U will take the eshop approach to some DC games that were rereleased in HD to 360/PS3, examples including Jet Grind Radio and Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. But yeah, bring on Shenmue 1 and 2! They may even put Saturn games on VC
Oh yeah! I totally spaced out on the Saturn!!! It had some good games like night’s into reams :D but yeah, I would love to see Shenmue and the SA games! :D
Oh and maybe even Sega CD games! The only one I care about is Sonic CD, but I should really be available on the vc as well!
I would like to see more SNES games, Gamecube, Dreamcast, Sega Saturn, and Game Boy Advance games on the VC for Wii U.
Just what I figured. The whole stupid thing will probably be all about this. Instead of some much needed game news.
I think when Iwata was saying they will talk about Services they meant Miiverse coming to PC and the 3DS. All though if the Virutal Console gets up and running I want GC games and more SNES games. Namely Spike Mcfang.
Or for that matter, where is Earthbound?
Yeah, EARTHBOUND is the game I want to hear about. In fact, that’s the only Virtual Console/eShop game I intend to download if it ever becomes available. I wanna show my Earthbound love and support.
Agreed, I want releases I can’t already/didn’t already get on the Wii VC service. And for crying out loud, if they are going to recycle releases (I’m looking at you, 3DS VC offerings) I’d like to at least see tweaks. I had hoped the 3DS 8-bit classics would be reformatted to fill the entire upper screen or at least have some sort of border on the sides of the 4 x 3 image. 3D Classics Twinbee made this small yet appreciated effort.
I predict that once the 3DS gets the Miiverse that can be linked with a WiiU account, we could see an option to transfer some 3DS VC games to WiiU and vice versa. I would say that for games that will transfer over to 3DS will be NES,SNES,Genesis,N64, TG16, and SOME arcade titles.
N64 probably won’t since there arealot of n64 remakes on the 3ds and ds like, sm64, goldeneye, oot3d, mm3d, sf3d and so on, tho Ames seen like the likely one
The thing is though, if you go to any page on the Direct site and bring up even an archived Nintendo Direct and check the source for that page, you will find that same section of code.
Eternal Darkness on VC would be awesome.
i have 100 vc games.. just need mother 2
I hope we can use the Wii U pro controller so I don’t have to buy more of the classic controllers to play multiplayer! Already owns a pro classic controller and a wii u pro controller!
I really hope we get hd gamecube games as vc.
i wanna see nintendo arcade games from before the famicom was out…
A Virtual Console where they upscale to HD graphics for N64 games!
man i hope we get Mario Parties 1 & 3 cuz they released 2 on Wii VC but not 1 or 3.
mp1 i heard they couldn’t release cuz the whole N64 joystick lawsuit against nintendo thing, but mp1 still could of released cuz the Wii Pro Controller/ Classic Controller Pro has soft joysticks and u could use the GCN controller so thats why i don’t know why we never got mp1 on VC.
But MP3 we could of got cuz it never had the joystick blister problem so i dont know why nintendo didnt put MP3 “Mario Party 3” on VC, does anybody know why?
Well, im not sure why, but maybe because Mario Party 2 was the best critical recieved, that it was actually put on. The Third title wasnt the best in the series. I know these arnt the most reasonable arguments, but they are the only ones i can really think of.
It’s a pity that I’ll be missing out the 9:00 am presentation… I’ll be at work. However, I will watch the encore presentation on the ‘Tube when I return.
i hope i don’t get a bad connection like the last time had to wait until they put it up on youtube i had so much trouble with my internet
