It looks like the Wii U console’s Virtual Console lineup could be expanded with more Wii games soon. According to Nintendo’s database, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, the original Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid: Other M are among the classic titles that could be coming to the service. Super Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid Prime: Trilogy, Punch-Out!! and Donkey Kong Country Returns are among the Wii games that were re-released via the Nintendo eShop on Wii U earlier this year.
Zelda: Skyward Sword, Mario Galaxy And Metroid: Other M Could Be Coming To Wii U
Funny that the first Mario Galaxy would come so much later after the 2nd one, but oh well.
I very much enjoyed all 3 mentioned games when they came out.
Same. Til I realized that Other M actually had terrible writing & stale voice acting.
Noooooo, ANY game other than Other M!
Why do Nintendo execs and designers still treat Other M like they didn’t screw it up and like it’s better than the Primes?
Personally, I think it’s because they still like the game.
In all honesty, I don’t think they’ve truly recovered from the whole Other M controversy. I think they truly believed that it would be a new platform for Metroid to jump from. In other words, I think they were really proud of their work. Unfortunately, the fans didn’t share that optimism.
Well, optimism is the wrong word, since your referring to the past. The fans actually did share optimism with the developers. We all thought it would be great. But it turned out to be a big pile of steamy dog shit.
But I agree with you about them still thinking the game is great. Almost like they are in denial. If you walk into a Walmart, Metroid Other M is still fifty dollars. Yes, $50.00 fucking dollars to buy Metroid Other M at retail. What a joke. What the fuck is Nintendo thinking charging fifty dollars for that game. Hell, they’re charging only $30.00 for Mario Galaxy.. So yea, I agree with you. They are in complete denial about Metroid other M. But I had so much optimism for it.
>>>In some places in my country and online, it barely costs 10 euros>>>
I had too much for Other M as I actually liked the game when I played through it the first 3 times. Now, I’m in agreement with every other core Metroid fan about the game. Sadly, I still have Other M with my other physical copies of Wii & Wii U games. Then again, I think it best that game rot in my physical library of games to make sure no other poor soul ever gets tricked by the game’s fun gameplay.
Because they’re japanese.
Get over it.
I’d like to see you keep that same level of sympathy if a development team nearly ruins one of your favorite franchises and then refuses to acknowledge said catastrophe.
Uh huh. First off, there is no reason not to add this to the list on the eshop. It makes money. Which is good since I lost my copy and would like to play it again.
Okay. Then they’ll just take away the option of that game being available for you to purchase if you wanted to play it. Good job.
Can we get gamecube games instead? We can already play these games on the Wii U.

Other m was a fun metroid game
Saying that it was a fun game is one thing. An opinion, for starters.
Saying that it was a fun METROID game, however, is objectively wrong.
It obviously is a metroid game just how federation force is a metroid game and you can like those games or not I dont care
It is not, though. Say whatever you want about it, but it shares none of the fundamental design characteristics the series is known for. It has nothing to do with liking the game or not. I love Resident Evil 4, and consider it a terrible RE game. A great game, but a terrible RE. Learn the difference.
I enjoy the game for what it is and that’s it you can whine and bitch all you want but don’t do it towards me do it towards Nintendo and I will try federation force for myself
“I enjoy the game for what it is”
I’m very sorry to hear of your terribly low standards, then.
I didn’t have crazy high expectations when I saw the game and when I played it I just played it not only this has to be like this or that has to be like that
They need to make a new Nintendo Direct to show all of this!
I hope other M gets 0 sales
I’ll gladly support Super Mario Galaxy again!
>>>When is Metroid: Quadraxis’ Other Head coming?>>>
I’d play it :P
That’s right.
Re-release titles that still exist worldwide at select retail stores and are already backwards compatible with the Wii U itself.
Did that suddenly slip your mind, Nintendo?
Seriously, what’s with these irrational decisions?
Yes, that is dumb. I mean, perhaps for new gamers who are only like 10 years old now or something, but HD remakes would have made me much happier since I missed some of these games the first time around for various reasons and HD versions peak my interest enough to pay 50 bones for them
These are convenient for me. I’ll enjoy these games. Thanks, Nintendo!
awesome, I can finish the skyward sword game, I couldnt because my friend lend it to me. And now it’s almost impossible to buy.
I wish I could get Skyward Sword to look as good on my TV as it does on your banner screenshot there.
Why no gamecube tittles? IS project cafe that weak? I mean sure Wii is more powerful than Gamecube but the OS on Wii U probably too weak slow and stupid to handle Gamecube tittles where as Wii games is on the backwards capability area on the weak box.
English.
PLEASE get rid of motion controls on Skyward Sword.
I’m not sure how they can when everything revolved around them. For SS to have no motion controls, the ENTIRE game would probably need to be rebuilt from the ground up. You’d need to fix the first two fights with Ghirahim, the giant eye puzzles, the list goes on.
*facepalm* The whole game revolves around it.
How about no? Skyward Sword is one of the rare games that did motion controls right. Besides, motion controls is integral to the game so they’d have to remake the game from the ground up. That kind of development is better suited to making new Zelda games.
Oh the days when Other M was widely hated & most people that did enjoy it kept their mouths shut about it. But since Federation Force was announced, terrible Metroid games have been getting a lot of undeserved defense & protection from people that probably wouldn’t know a true Metroid game if it slapped them in the face.
