Nintendo ain't gonna put Wii games on VC. Not until WiiU's successor.

I mean in general, for upcoming games.


Alright then.

Isn't it possible that nintendo will put out games from the wii too? At least the ones like xenoblade and metroid prime trilogy.

Unlikely, we didn't see GC games on Wii VC, only N64 games. They wouldn't make the WiiU backward compatible if they were going to have it available as DLs.

Also releasing those games on VC might piss off some of the collectors who will see a sharp drop in the value of their game.

Tha's because GC were impossible to put on VC because of the file size limitations.   40 MB versus 1.5 GB.  Storage was another problem.   Each game had be able to load in the Wii's 512 MB internal flash memory.  Meaning that practically no GC game could even fit.

Wii U doesn't have a file size limitation and doesn't have to worry about an internal flash memory launching point.
