Is there any reason Nintendo is unable to release Wii games on the Virtual Console? Would emulation be possible?

(I'm aware you can buy a physical copy of Wii games and run them in Wii mode, but this would be such a better solution)


No confirmed reason, tons speculation.

- Nintendo is too cheap to even try putting more recent games digitally due to cost of conversion along with adapting it to work with the Gamepad and stuff.

- Nintendo is so greedy, they think they would get more money not putting games from their last two generations as digital releases but instead 'remake/port' them and sell at a higher price.

- Nintendo sucks at the internet and anticipating the desires of its gamers.

 

It can go on from there but those are the 3 most prevailing thoughts.


I think it's important to point out he's saying VC.  You know what goes on the VC, right?  It has nothing to do with being too cheap.  Sony doesn't even do this.  It's one thing to release the games digitally (like they have with the 3DS and Wii U) but a totally different thing to give it an emulated version.  From what I heard, Sony is going to go with cloud streaming for PS3 games on the PS4.  Though I still need to do more research.
