A number of you have emailed in to say that the official Wii U Virtual Console page mentions that Nintendo 64 games are on their way. The website doesn’t give a specific time frame regarding when we should expect them, but hopefully it’s soon.
Check back regularly for the latest releases, including the future addition of titles from the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo 64 systems.
Thanks to those who sent this in.
Sweet, but only 0 of them will be pokemon. Asshole nintendo. >:c
Even though games like Hey You Pikachu, Pokemon Snap and Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2… just saying
They could re-release Pokemon Snap with optional motion controls. That would make it more than worth it.
HEY YOUUUUU PIKACHUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YESSSSSSSD
to be fair, the pokemon games for N64 weren’t that great X,D
The only Pokemon game on N64 worth anything was Pokemon Snap. :/
Title: COMING SOON ACCORDING TO OFFICIAL WII U VIRTUAL CONSOLE PAGE
Content: The website doesn’t give a specific time frame regarding when we should expect them, but hopefully it’s soon.
So it’s not ‘coming soon according’ to the website, you just hope it’s coming soon
Basically every article in this website.
I haven’t played many N64 games, but I’ve had the most fun EVER with the few I did play. Zelda OOT, Killer Instict Gold, and Conker’s Bad Fur Day are all very good. But I doubt those last 2 would come to VC. I think they’re both from Rare, which is in the hands of Microsoft now. :(
It was an epic age in gaming. ;)
Play Diddy Kong Racing, DK64, Majoras Mask, MarioKart64, Super Smash Bros., … The list goes on and on
half of thouse were by rare not gonna happen
Was there ever any doubt? if the Wii had them of course the Wii U would have them eventually, I’m just a little surprised it wasn’t sooner. Give us word on a Gamecube virtual console, now that’d be news.
I been buying N64 games off Amazon so im hoping for some imports.
Too bad about 50% of the games I want from this gen are from Rare. I already got most of the downloaded on the Wii. Though I did not see Bomberman64 or Quest 64. Other that the rest I want are from rare.
I love Bomberman 64, it’s been so long since I got to play. That would be an instant buy for me.
Bomberman 64 was good but Bomberman 64: The Second Attack was better. I had a lot more fun with Second Attack. The story was great & I loved the fact Pommy’s form & abilities would change depending on the food you gave him.
So yeah. Both of those games would be instant buys.
Oh shit! Someone else knows about quest 64 ? I honestly thought I was the only one who played it..
I played it n beat it too…fun game and 64s 1st rpg
Yay about time! Im hoping for mario 64 :)
Bm64 4 player modes yum I need.
What’s the point of Super Mario 64 I already have it on Wii and 3DS. Its the GameCube franchise like Pikmin 2 Sunshine, RE Zero etc. Starfox adventures. Melee.
I dont have it for either :(
So because you already have those, no one else should? I hope you literally die…
And I hope you aren’t being serious. XD
How about you shut the fuck up? Many others might want it again or not have played it, ever thought about that you dumb fuck?
Oh an drink bleach an die plz k thnx
Ignoring I should die but you failed to support Nintendo 20 years ago playing that old ass Mario game that is on 3DS, Wii and 64 and Wii U. Pitaful.
You can get Pikmin 2 on your Wii. I have it on a disk in a Wii case right now on my game case. You could play that right on your Wii U due to backwards compatability.
I can now play Pikmin 2 on Wii U? I don’t have to rehook my Wii anymore?
I never mind
I get you. I have the GameCube Pikmin 2. I don’t like playing it with Wiimote. Though it would be nice to use my GameCube controller so I can play Pikmin 2 on Wii u.
3DS? You mean the 64 DS remake? I have the wii one but haven’t touched it, I hate the classic controller and classic pro and have been waiting and hoping for it on the Wii U so I can play on a tv and with proprer controllers like the pro controller and gamepad. Far more comfortable than the classic controllers and 3DS/3DS XL for me and I refuse to replay such greatness as Mario 64 with cheap controllers or cramped.
Lord Zedd Sir, have you played Mario 64DS? If not, i highly recommend it. Very worth cramping your fingers for all the extra hidden 30 stars! So many clevwr tricks were added to that game. Its an mprovement on perfection itself!
Super Mario 64 DS was indeed a fun game.
Although, the white rabbits were a pain to find.
30 extra stars is enticing lol. After Mario Kart 7 I got joint pain in my thumbs so I’ve been turned off to the 3DS for certain games, but Mario 64 isn’t as intense as Mario Kart in the sense that you can stop for a minute and relax, but you can’t stop in the middle of a race online and all that drifting did numbers to my poor thumbs lol. Maybe I’ll give it a try, but I’ll still hold off for some new remake (3D or HD) before jumping back on. Thanks for letting me know about the extra stars though, definitely makes me like it more already.
FZero GX. All my want.
They should release smash bros 64 before the new one comes out!
YES!!! Especially because the new theme is heavily derived from the 64’s character select theme.

What about fucking GameCube games! We have the controller now!
Crap, I have to own 4 Wiimotes+ (got them), 4 nunchucks (got them), 4 pro controllers (got two), the gamepad and 4 gcn controllers to play all the games avaible in 4 player multiplayer? Crap…
You don’t need game cube if you have the classics and pros I’m pretty sure. They are just a great luxury to have for Smash Brothers lol.
Are you serious? Come on man, you and I know way better that the NGC controllers are best for smash and smash only, and with the announcement of the NGC adapter on the release date of Smash for wii u, we might get a bone thrown at us for NGC VC. It would make sense to do that but knowing Nintendo, it might not happen as we think…soi fingers crossed man.
LoL of course I know it’s the best, I will be buying 4 brand new ones, it’s the only way to smash, even the pro controller isn’t as good (got to play twice at best buy so I can confirm). I was just letting her know she didn’t HAVE to :p For some people GameCube is luxury, for people like you and mean it’s mandatory.
I would somehow try and make the D-Pad bigger without ruining the placement and feel of everything else (not too important cause in Smash it’s only used to taunt), add an extra Z button on the left side (also not a big deal but would be nice) and make the Z button(s) have a better feel when you press them down. Always felt the Z button felt weird compared to all the other buttons. And god I love clicking those L & R buttons over and over just for satisfaction.
Only GCN have analog R/L buttons, so would at least be needed for games where those are used!
I would love to have N64 games on my Wii U virtual console. Hurry up Nintendo!
Classic example of what is old becomes new again. this was announced over a year ago and the website may have been saying N64 games even before that!
Battletanx please.
Fuck yeah!

Here is hoping for wwf no mercy, vigilante 8
turok rage wars, bomberman 64, doom 64, extreme-g, fighting force 64, rampage 2, nightmare creatures, mischief makers and mace the dark age.
Let’s hope Gamecube games are around the corner.
Nope. Not gonna happen this Gen. :/
What’s this site’s obsession with reporting on months-old, or in this case years-old pages, and calling it news? That page has said that since last year.
If you’re going to take content from reddit, read the comments first -it’s said that for ages.
Another reason to buy a Wii U….damn You Nintendo! Put Battlezone: Rise of the Black dogs on that list! Excellent game, many hours of playing.
Hell yeah! I loved the ability to build your own base for some of the levels! I’d prefer a makeover of the original game with better graphics & an extended story but the same gameplay. The gameplay should be left the way it is. But if not a remake, virtual console of the original game will do. This all hinges on whoever owns the game these days, though. :/
What about Gamecube games Nintendo? Wii was perfectly capable with playing those. Can’t you just run the ISOs of those games on the Wii Channel?
If this is true, it’s about damn time. Beef up that virtual console market, Nintendo. Next put some gamecube games there.
Wait, so the reUmagined series is FAKE!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!
I’d also like to see Neo Geo, and Sega console games come to E-shop too. Maybe Saturn and Dreamcast.
Gamecube will be a huge turning circle too.
Sega games would be great, they should buy Sega
All I care about from 64 is
Shadowman, castelvania 64, castelvania legacy of darkness, Mario 64, paper Mario, Pokemon snap, mace, and Mk 4.
(can’t remember if Kirby air ride was 64 or game cube)
But honestly that’s about it, and most likely only 3 of them well come out.
They better support HD, other wise why bring them…
Gamecube dude.
Also can’t forget Duke nukem 64
dude if this is true and we get 007 original goldeneye and quake 2 man fuck ps4 and xbox one
Battlezone: Rise of the Black Dogs, Aidyn Chronicles: The First Mage, Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber, Pokemon Snap. These were great games I enjoyed for the N64. I couldn’t really get into Quest 64 but that would be a nice VC game for those that did like it, though.
N64 games are going to look horrible if they don’t upres them and maybe even use screen filter. I’m sorry but i know people are like “GBA and NES and SNES games don’t need screen filters, they’re fine pixelated” i don’t agree.. but for damn sure i don’t think N64 games will look very good unless they do something.
