I hope one of the things Nintendo announce during E3 is GC for VC.
Can`t wait to replay some GC aswell as play others i never played like Rogue Squadron games.


Yeah, because the Wii U needs GameBoy Color games in their virtual console. (JK)


At first i wasn`t getting it! :D

It does Single-player-asymetrical-gaming & NFC & has a Geomagnitic Sensor & does True Panarama View for a Home Console.

The "Single-Player-Asymetrical-Gaming" by itself gives you a million different cool ways to play.

Didn't the Wii offer N64 games? And the 3DS offer GameBoy games? (Notice both of these consoles skipped a gen when with their offerings. Wii didn't offer GC, 3DS didn't offer DS. This was because of back-wards compatibility, most likely.)

I'm thinking the Wii U will offer GameCube games in some vein.

Thats the same reason I think VC console will support GC games and even tho its BC with Wii  I can picture a few GC/Wii HD remakes/collections. wpuld u spend $40 on Twilight Princess/Skyward Sword HD Collection or Sunshine remake like there doing with Wind Waker.

I wouldn't spend 40$ on Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword, but I would for Sunshine.

Not going to happen, not powerful enough to emulate it without massive investment - which we all know Nintendo doesn't do.

Mario All-stars anniversary...enough said.

It doesn't need to emulate it, thanks to Wii backwards compatibility it should be already set to run the almost identical (but slower) Gamecube architecture.

No it shouldn't, GPU of Wii is emulated on the Wii-U, it's just the CPU that has a compatible instruction set.

Not set to run it by a long shot.

The Gamecube CPU and GPU are the same as the Wii, just slower. If you can emulate one, you can emulate the other.

I meant together, not seperately. And another one I could see is Metroid Prime Trilogy HD

i need sega saturn on vc

Remember how we got Earthbound? If enough of the fans ask for GC games on the VC on Miiverse then Nintendo will hear it and have to respond.



     
Games can and should tell stories and share ideas through their mechanics. This is the intrinsic element of the medium and this is how experiences should be crafted in video games. No company does this as well as Nintendo and their echoes from the past.
