^ I still think that is a little optimistic but I kinda expect them to not release anything lol. It makes each release feel special lol
Its also one of their major problems
lets promise lots of features (the concept of the virtual console in general, the promise 2 years ago of n64 and ds titles on wii u/ snes & gba titles on 3ds), have a decent start, and release next to nothing over the period of a few months to a year. they need to fix this, sure its just re-issuing of old games but its also one of Nintendo's major aces! Nintendo has a larger library of classic titles than Sony or Microsoft and yet they don't capitalize on that. So, if these weekly Wii re-releases quickly dwindle down to nothing after this month, a title here and there then its really going to be.. and mind my blatant honesty pathetic
Perhaps releasing Digital Wii games is just to cover the Wii U game drought, and has nothing to do with a VC revival (would explain why N64 and GC have been stepped over). Digital Wii releases may dry up when there are lots of Wii U releases

What drought? Captain Toad, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Mario Party 10, Mario vs Donkey Kong, Mario Maker, Splatoon, Yoshi's Woolly World? Even Project Giant Robot is scheduled to release before E3. I'd say this is arguably the year the with the strongest first party support any Nintendo console has ever had. If this is a drought, then the entire Nintendo history has been a drought.

We have plenty of announced games but virtually no release dates. For all we know Yoshi and Mario Maker could be June, Kirby isn't out until 2nd half of 2015 in Europe. There you go, a game drought exists (Early January-Late May if you don't like Mario Party, assuming Splatoon is in the Mario Kart 8 slot).

Ok, drought may have been the wrong word to use. Substitute "Wii U drought" for "between Wii U releases". Game drought was not my point. The point I was raising is that there may not be a steady stream of Wii digital releases. Out or curiosity, after Captain Toad, when is the next game release?

Next Nintendo-released game is today if you have a Japanese Wii U (Kirby and the Rainbow Curse). Feb 20th if you're in NoA territory (Kirby and the Rainbow Curse). March 20th if you're in NoE territory (Mario Party 10 + Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars). That's the current schedule at least.

Thanks jariw. I am in EU, but not an Issue, I have loads of games not even started yet. Back on topic, I do hope the Wii digital downloads continue, but I would like to see N64 & GC

Fair enough. I too doubt that they're going to keep the momentum of 3 games every month. I think it's just to start the Wii VC, after some releases it'll probably settle down to one or two games in between the Wii U releases.
I also wouldn't expect a lot more Wii titles beyond what's been announced - at least not with the rapid clip some hope for - look at how long they're taking to re-release NES and SNES stuff or the GBA games (though there's a decent number).
I have to think Zelda will be in there and I cannot see why they wouldn't release both; Metroid Other M also seems like one they'd do and the Pikmin games (unless they plan an HD remake).

There's a huge difference between running games through an emulator and executing ISO images through the existing hardware mode.
Wow, I never knew NSMBW was so small. Makes sense, but it's a little surprising.
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)
