DKC 1-3 - SNES

Sonic Advance 1-3 - GBA

Crono Trigger - SNES

The Final Fantasy games - SNES

Super Mario RPG SNES

Metroid Zero Mission - GBA

Mortal Kombat - SNES

Mega Man 7 (I know it's coming) SNES

I still wonder why DKC 1-3 were removed from the Wii VC.

Doom.

Creative director for Mortal Combat wasn't too rosy at the prospect of the Wii U VC

I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

I just wish they would move everything from the Wii VC to the Wii U virtual console. And then start making more N64 games.

I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

I wish all the Rare stuff would come over. I want DK64 and Goldeneye! Also DKC1-3 would be cool

It has to be something to do with Rare. It couldn't be a coincidence there are no Rare games available on the Virtual Console.

I'm not entirely convinced it has to do with Rare only because if that were the case, the Donkey Kong Land games wouldn't be getting released on the 3DS (they released the first one in Japan in April and I'm pretty sure the second one has since been released too)...

It might not have anything to do with anything, but it certainly adds to the curiosity of the situation...

Have a nice day...
