What happened to Vs. Excitebike on the Wii U Virtual Console this week, I was so hyped for a Japan only game to release again. But at least we got Sin and Punishment for the Nintendo 64, I got on my Wii Virtual Console awhile back and now I can upgrade for $2 on my Wii U Virtual Console.
I thought they said it would be releasing tomorrow, and we don't know if it is just a VC release of the Japanese version. Has there been any information other than the 1 tweet?

Formally called brewsky before becoming the lovable, adorable Yoshi.
Now playing:
Final Fantasy XIV (PC) | The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Switch) | Celeste (Switch)

@brewsky: thanks for letting me know, I'm super excited for another Japan only game again now I just need Animal Forest 64, F-Zero: Climax and Mother 3 to appear on the Wii U VC

Those would require mass translating unlike a Famicom game. Mother 3 they'd go put the effort into translating as many people are demanding it, but the other 2 not so much...
Super stoked for this game's release! How long has it been out in Japan???
It's not, just regular Excitebike seems to be out in Japan. This should be its Virtual Console premier and its first rerelease.
Hopefully Clu Clu Land: Welcome to New Clu Clu Land, a FDS conversion of Vs. Clu Clu Land for Nintendo Vs. System arcade hardware, follows it and finally appears on the North American Virtual Console. Japan has had that one in all three incarnations of the Virtual Console, where as we've only ever gotten it as an unlockable game in Animal Crossing (Where it's labeled as Clu Clu Land D).
Lots of other interesting Vs. System arcade releases that they could release. But alas, I believe that these are the only two that were converted to Nintendo's 8 bit console platform. So since Nintendo doesn't release their own arcade library on the Virtual Console, regardless that this particular arcade hardware was essentially a Famicom (And these games can be enjoyed on a real NES with a multicart), it appears as if we can count on not getting stuff like Vs. Super Mario Brothers.
@DarthNocturnal: well the reason I wanted Animal Forest 64 and F-Zero: Climax is because I don't know if we will get a new Animal Crossing or F-Zero game for the Wii U. I'm not saying there couldn't, there could be, just if only Hisashi Mogami who made the Animal Crossing Series would go back to the Animal Crossing team instead of helping out with Splatoon he's helped out enough for that game it's selling really well. Lastly for a new F-Zero I would think I would happen sometime after the release of Star Fox Zero, since Shigeru Miyamoto decided on a new Star Fox game before a new F-Zero game.
@Angelic_Lapras_King: I would think F-Zero: Climax would be another one they'd want as well since Shigeru Miyamoto decided to make Star Fox Zero instead of a new F-Zero game.
