The Wii U Virtual Console iteration of the GBA title, F-Zero: GP Legend, was already released in Europe earlier this year, and now it's speeding its way towards North America this week, after an official ESRB rating was locked in.
The original title released in the west in 2004 took F-Zero on Nintendo's portable device of the time to the next level being based on an anime of the same name and featuring a roster of 34 playable characters including newcomers and old favourites such as Captain Falcon.
If you live in North America, let us know if you'll be downloading this on release.

I miss the anime of this game.
Actually NOA's website has it listed for this week. http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/rJlxnhjkty3QD_dJSZeXsipryilfSbGb
I'll definitely be buying it, as it was one of my favorite GBA games. Too bad we'll likely never get Climax here.
Best GBA racing game ever!
@TwilightAngel The full japanese anime is on youtube, subbed to english
F-Zero The Legend of Falcon Lap 1

Lap means episode in this case, as the series has 51 episodes, and the final title is The Legend of Falcon Lap 51.
Highly recommend everyone watches the series.
That leaves:
Golden Sun: The Lost Age
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
Metroid: Zero Mission
Kuru Kuru Kururin (Maybe?)
Namco Museum
Mega Man Zero 2
@TwilightV Also, DKC Returns and Kirby Return to Dreamland.
@Grumblevolcano Not to mention Brain Age and a small handful of NES and SNES games.
Well, at least we're closing the gap on Europe. I'm definitely not complaining about this one here.... Will be downloading tomorrow
Maybe for 3DS...
I only want Zero Mission and nothing else will satisfy me.
Thank you NoA! I can finally change my underwear!!
And now we wait for Metroid: Zero Mission...well at least Nintendo put out a good title this week.
Is it better than Maximum Velocity? I have to admit I was a tad disappointed in that game.
@TwilightV That's just getting caught up with other regions. There's also catching up with the 3DS VC for NES games - River City Ransom, Summer Carnival '92 RECCA, Mysterious Murasame Castle, etc are all missing on the Wii U VC.
@Knuckles Wow i didn't know that thanks!
@TwilightAngel You're welcome!
This really needs to be a cross buy game that works on the 3DS. I'm not playing GBA games on the big screen, and I'm certainly not buying them to play in that format. I have the GBA cartridge and would play on the Cube's GBA player if I wanted to!
Fingers crossed for a F-Zero Wii U game being announced at E3...
@TwilightV Brain Age doesn't count as Europe and Japan were only able to own it for a month (if you deleted the game after July 10th you can't redownload).
Shame this isn't coming to 3DS...
I'm so happy, this is by far one of the best F-Zero experiences out there! Infinitely better then the ghastly F-Zero Maximum Velocity.
Hopefully good sales of all these F-Zero games will show that the interest for a new one is there.
Definitely recommend for any F-Zero fan and if you don't mind mode 7 graphics. Though, imo, Climax is the much better game as it has better music remixes and the races aren't as long to name a few things.
"You got boost power!" More like: BOOST FIYAAAAAA!
@tripunktoj f-zero climax is better
