I want Killer Instinct and GoldenEye on Wii U virtual console. Nintendo, make it so.


GE is never gonna happen. Acti has to rights to anything having to do with the 007 franchise. Not sure about KI

To have them on Virtual Console isn't entirely out of the question. The reason why they haven't made it onto the VC right now is the web of IP involved, and getting MS and Activision (and possibly EA) to sign off on it, etc. If MS sold Rare back to Nintendo, then that would significantly simplify the web.

The biggest remaining issue would be getting Activision's OK... and the thing standing in the way of that is Activision's remake, which they might fear would have the original on VC as competition. But they'd be much more open to it, I'd imagine, for Wii U.

Killer Instinct, as far as I can see, is only being blocked by Microsoft, so if Nintendo got it back, there'd be no real impediment to publishing it on VC.
