It may be a little too early to discuss this, but I put my money on SSX Tricky.
Why? Because:
It's tricky to rock a rhyme
To rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's tricky tricky tricky tricky tricky
I love that game

No idea... Pretty early to be thinking about what the Wii U's downloadable service will be like.
And I doubt Mario Superstars Baseball will be one considering that's just a US thing... (I believe?)

Isn't there a baseball GB game on the eShop right now? Worldwide too....

I know this is a stretch in terms of a vc launch lineup but I'd say, Pikmin, Luigi's Mansion, Super Mario Sunshine, Zelda: Wind Waker, and Metroid Prime. That covers the classics for me.

since pikmin 3 should come out around the time of the system I would have to guess the first two would be on VC, though I kind of hope they are the NPC versions, other than that Luigi's mansion maybe prime 1, same NPC I hope, then Melee would be a safe bet.

Honestly, I don't care for the GCN VC that much at all....Why would i want to play GCN Titles such as Metroid Prime 1 & 2, along with Pikmin when the wii versions are incredibly superior control wise? Durp!

There are plenty of quality GCN games that never got the "New Play Control" treatment. If a GCN VC means we'll have digital access to rare-ish games like Beyond Good and Evil, Killer7, Ikaruga, and Eternal Darkness, then I'd say its a worthwhile service.

WAIT --- have GCN games as digital downloads been confirmed for Wii U, or is this speculation?

Correction: That's one that your region won't be getting, ever wonder how Japan has over 600 VC Titles and the West (NA & PAL) only have 300+? Certain regions may only get certain games, as not every VC game in the west released in every region in the west.

I loooooooove Killer 7

Star Fox Adventures is great, but its not what you'd expect from a Star Fox game. Its kind of an adventure game, even a little Zelda-ish. Star Fox Assault takes a stab at the classic on rails gameplay, but doesn't really capture the magic of the earlier games. Its worth a play if you're a fan, but as a full game I think it falls short of greatness.

I don't think Nintendo will launch the Wii U's VC with 5 Gamecube titles.

  • Maybe one or two of them: Luigi's Mansion HD and Wave Race: Blue Storm HD.
    Both will have "New Play Wii Control" of course, because Gamecube Controllers won't be compatible with Wii U.
    That's only IF Nintendo allows Gamecube downloads.
  • Old VC games should be updated. Button config should be allowed. 50Hz/60Hz needs to be implemented.
  • Hopefully the third party support from Western developers will be tied to Virtual Console games too.
    First flood of VC games by Electronic Arts, Activision, THQ, Ubisoft, etc.
  • New systems will be added.
    Gamecube, 64DD games, N64 and SNES games with more than 40MB, Satellaview games, SNES Super FX-Chip games, Super/Game Boy games, GBA games
    Sega Dreamcast, Sega Saturn, Sega CD, Sega 32X games
    Neo Geo CD
  • Advanced arcade emulation (not only low-sized 80ies retro classics anymore)
  • Better WiiUWare games (data limit increased from 40MB to one that is similiar to the size of Gamecube games)
  • More exclusive translated retro titles from Japan.
  • All VC and WiiWare games transferable and playable on Wii U, free of charge.

Mario super sluggers on wii may not have seen an EU release but Mario superstar baseball did.

I think you're expecting a little too much from this service. unless of course this is what you want and not what you think will happen.

Why do people point to their wrists when asking for the time, but don't point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?

I kinda hope the Wii U's VC service is about the same as the Wii's so I don't have to re-buy games again or have to use my Wii just to buy NES games and such. The only thing i'd want different with the Wii U's VC is to be able to play all VC games from the tablet controller.

Oh, and my 5 gamecube VC titles i'd want would be:
1) Pikmin 2
2) Super Mario Sunshine
3) Metroid Prime
4) Pikmin
5) Mario Kart Double Dash

Being able to play on the Wii U controller screen is a no brainer and I really do hope I'll be able to transfer my Wii VC games over. We can transfer between 3DSes, we can transfer from DSi to 3DS, why not Wii to Wii U?

Having said that, I probably won't be as interested in the Wii U VC as I was in the Wii VC. If I can get any of these games on the 3DS I will and we already know the 3DS VC is getting NES games. Gamecube games? I'd pay full retail for a 3DS port before I got a VC version on the Wii U.
