This would be a welcome addition to Wii U's library. These are pretty fun games. I'd buy them again in HD!!

Take a look at this list and it will tell you all you need to know. Nintendo makes the worlds best selling software PERIOD!

I love how they're all brave saying this crap but then take it down afterwards. What a douchenozzle!!

No love lost here. They only have 1 franchise I care about, Mass Effect and I'm scared to death they're gonna ruin that as well.

As Martin Lawrence once said..."Sh_t just got Real!"

@Wonderful101 Oh my GERSH!!!!! That is some SWEET box art!!!!!

They're both really long epic Zelda titles. Even at regular price, they're worth it.

I will make a trip to Best Buy if it's within reasonable driving distance. Although the lines could be an issue for large metropolitan areas like Chicago.

Pairs figure skating & curling??? I'm so preordering this!!!

Why are the releases in the USA so late in the summer?? The Wii U needs games STAT!!!!

@3Daniel Aaaaahhh, that might make me rethink my plan but then again the physical copy might hold value down the road. Decisions,decisions...

@Damo But then there's also developers who sell more titles on 3DS vs iOS & Android. Gunman Clive being one example. There's also much more profit for these guys on the Vita & 3DS side. Alot of the iOS & Android games barely make money at 0.99 a pop.

There was one Miiverse post that said "I just got the power bomb, how do I use it"?
I seriously wanted to slap that person through the screen. COME ON!!!! Try poop out!!!!

So the entire regular NSMBU will also be accessible on the disc correct?

The boxed version cause I'll hate myself later for not getting it over the cheaper DLC.

Man, that's disappointing but at least now it has a date. It was still really screwed up to list that & Pikmin as launch window titles!!!

A release date for Wonderful 101 would be WONDERFUL!!!

Don't worry, this is all part of their unprecedented partnership!

Apple will never beat these companies until they actually have hardware with "real" control options. IF they ever do that, then that would be the time to be scared. I don't think the software companies wanna deal with Apple though. They are real ball breakers and want too much control. They're happy where they are dealing with the other 3.
IF the day ever comes where Apple does make a real game machine, then that could definitely over turn the apple cart, no pun intended.

@rennandovale Yeah, that is a BIG BIG plus!!!!

Can't wait for the U.S. release tomorrow!!!

Ok, I'm all for the 8 bit & 16 bit look but why do all the leads for these types of games have to look like a square with leg??. Not every game has to look like Fez!!!!

@Ryno No, that place would be the IGN boards where anything Wii U related marks "the end of Nintendo."

One of my favorite Mario games but I prefer the All-Stars version. The amount of games they're trickling out is just sad. I thought the release schedule might pick up. Guess not.

This looks so typical "Japanese" & I mean that in the best possible way. I can't wait to play it!!! We're lucky to be getting it so make sure you support it!!

Yeah this is all about EA trying to stick it to Nintendo. I honestly could care less about their support for Wii U. They only have 1 series I'm interested in and that is Mass Effect. I'll just get it for my PS4 but the rest of their lineup is unimpressive to me.

@KnightRider666 YEAH!! The Rolling Thunder games are awesome!!

I like the artwork for Streets of Rage & I'm indifferent to the E-Swat art. Streets of Rage is Soooooo overdue for an update! Panzer Dragoon too!

@dragon_rider Why do people always use that argument when defending the high prices of the VC? I have several used discs that are scratched & play perfectly fine & I can always turn around & sell the game if I like to make money back. It has tangible value, a digital copy doesn't & shouldn't cost as much!!

@UnseatingKDawg Nah, they'll release 1-2 a year from that list. They don't want to overwhelm us! ; )

@JogurtTheYogurt The Wii U emulation is actually pretty good but what sucks is the lack of graphic options which can be found on any other SNES emulator and I agree with you that the prices are just way too high for 20 year old games.

I think I'm gonna have to pick this up. That Metroid Prime track is mesmerizing!!!

@Moshugan The 16th for North America I believe.

@kereke12 You're actually happy with the paltry releases of the Wii U VC?

@baba_944 Releasing 5 VC titles a week is hardly dumping.

@NintendoPro64 Top 20?? It'll shoot staright to number one given the drought of games. = )

@baba_944 The problem with that is those games are still selling by the thousands believe it or not. NL just posted an article about that actually this weekend.

@Rapadash6 EXACTLY!!! Nintendo's VC should be the Apple of digital game downloads!!! They just need MUCH better implementation!!!

@Vaybio It certainly feels that way at times doesn't it?

@Silvervisiona GBA games running on a 60 inch TV can look pretty good actually with the right scalers.

@ColonelKurtz Sad, but true!!! = )

@Prof_Elvin_Gadd The problem is there's not alot of people buying the SNES titles at $7.99. The Miiverse community for that game shows that people are resisting that price point. Sure there are die-hard fans that will buy anything they drop at whatever price Nintendo names but I have a feeling there's gonna be more pushback this go around.

@Prof_Elvin_Gadd $9.99 for GC games LOL!!! YEAH RIGHT!! I agree with you that they should be priced reasonably but seeing as how they charge $7.99 for SNES games, something tells me that GC titles will be $14.99 or higher!!

@SuperCharlie78 Same here Super!! That's how it should have been handled from the beginning. Buy one title and play it on your 3DS or Wii U with cross saves. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate proves it can be done!

@HeatBombastic = ) you could be right!! It's sad, there's soooooo many SNES/Super Famicom games that never made it to the U.S. that have perfectly working english ROM's available online. Such a missed opportunity for them.

The whole GBA issue is very strange. You would think it would have been one of the first things they would have tapped into for the 3DS's VC library but then it was given as a prize for the Ambassador Program of which I was highly grateful but then nothing else of those games was mentioned about coming to the 3DS eshop but instead to Wii U's VC. Strange indeed!!

Nintendo sits on one of the most vaunted game catalogs in the history of gaming & the way it is treated is terribly, terribly sad.

@Ryno I don't feel the majority of people want them to dump a bunch of ROM's at once but did you see the Japanese launch lineup compared to Europe & N. America's?? Then to add insult to injury they follow it up with stuff like Pacman, Xevious, Solomon's Key etc...not exactly the games that make everyones favorite lists.

Yeah it all seems like a bad dream lately. How could something so easy be so screwed up? Yes I know they can't just dump the ROMS and call it a day but there's no way it takes several months to bring a single title to market. It's absurd and frankly insulting & don't even get me started on the pricing. You can just look at the Miiverse community numbers and see not everyone is jumping over to the Wii U VC updated releases. I said this was gonna probably happen & I was hoping that Nintendo would prove me wrong but with the Virtual Console aspect of their business Nintendo continues to be predictable.
