Nintendo has released a new trailer for The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past to coincide with the game’s arrival in the Nintendo eShop on Wii U. The action-adventure game originally launched in 1991 for the Super NES, and it can now be purchased through the Wii U Virtual Console service for $7.99. However, if you already own the title on Wii, you can transfer the game to Wii U and then purchase the updated title from the Wii U eShop for $1.50.
Zelda: A Link To The Past Gets Wii U Virtual Console Trailer

First! :D
The dark side, embraced you have, fuckerrr
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, LTTP needs to go on the 3DS eShop to accompany the newly released sequel A Link Between Worlds. What are Nintendo thinking?
Nintendo “the wiiu needs to sell, let’s give it exclusive virtual console games that people want so they can’t use the excuse ‘why buy a wiiu if I can play these games on my 3ds'”
You deserve the “Clever Girl” award.
Yes, I also thought this however it is not going to get me to buy a wii u because they’ve done this, should be cross platform at this point.
I skipped the Wii and seems the Wii U as well. They could at least take my $5 from a 3DS download. Virtual Console shouldn’t be what sells a console… that is just the gravy.
I enjoy being able to play on the WiiU, but I agree, I’d like it on the 3DS as well.
A Link To The Past was a Super NES game. Not a handheld. So that’s why it’s on the Wii U Virtual Console and not the 3DS.
They think you should buy a Wii U.
AHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH!!!!!! Nintenpussies have so little games that they have to re release a wii vc game AGAIN!!!!! 2014 will be the comeback year for nintendo…. in your dreams bitch this is the darkness and nintendo cant survive in it.

– THE REAL ICEAZEAMA
The darkness is coming? I’m pretty sure it’s already here. For many of the reasons you mentioned. I’m going to give Nintendo through 2014.
and GBA games
I want gamecubes games….but this is awesome!
^ and this
I want it too but what I want the most are games for the Wii U with ultimate Gamepad use…
For those in the US.
I bought this on the Wii.
If you buy it on the WiiU (having owned the Wii version) it’s only $1.50 – hell yeah! Sold!
It plays well in Wii mode, why would someone want to update? Is it merely for the gamepad support or is there more to it?
You can play it on the game pad with mapped buttons, unlike the Wii version. You also don’t have to boot to the Wii menus. The VC on WiiU is also better.
When you pay the money to upgrade, do you lose the wii version, too? or do you keep both the Wii AND the wii u version. I do enjoy playing games with my GCN controller.
You keep both. You are not trading your Wii version, you are getting a discount on the WiiU version. So for $1.50, you can play it on your WiiU, or the Wii Menu.
Cheers, Jaded_Drybones!
I can be helpful once in a blue moon! ;D
This was the best Zelda game!
Well this sucks! Lucario was confirmed as a character http://www.smashbros.com/sp/us/characters/lucario.html … I means cool to have him back not complaining but probably less of a chance of another pokemon type fighter coming back .. Everyone though he was gonna be replaced! He looks awesome though that HD! And maybe hell mega evolve when he gets a smash ball lol! That would be Aerosme!

I’d rather not have smash characters spoiled…
To be fair, Sakurai said he’s only in the game because the “brawl team” chucked him in towards the end and he “couldn’t of done it without them”. I know it’s stupid, but I’d love if they threw in a last minute Dr. Mario, I always loved playing with him.
to be honest, i always HATED he is the substitute fro Mewtwo
i rather have another substitution than Lucario again, like Zoroark
What does this mean for Jigglypuff and Mewtwo’s chances of returning!!!? 0.o
Jigglypuff is one of the original brawlers, he is set to appear, no matter what
That was never confirmed by Sakurai. There’s a big chance, yes, but ‘no matter what’ is incorrect. They’ve only had 2 chances to actually kick people so far, and the original 12 all had relevance, still, except earthbound. Infact, Sakurai tried to get rid of Ness in both Melee and Brawl to completely replace him with Lucas.
i know is not confirmed, but the point all the original characters of the original SMB64 appear in all future Smash games makes the possibility almost 100%
Never played this game. Thinkin bought buyin it!
That fight at 0:24. That freaking fight. I remember it well.
aLttP was much harder than aLBW. In my opinion, it was better, too. I loved that game. I’ll be getting it on the Virtual Console.
