The new Virtual Console is hitting the Wii U some time this week, and Nintendo has taken the time to fill us in on just what games will be part of the launch lineup. As predicted, we’re in for a bit of a retro treat.
To recap:
- Balloon Fight (NES)
- Donkey Kong, Jr. (NES)
- Excitebike (NES)
- F-Zero (SNES)
- Ice Climber (NES)
- Kirby’s Adventure (NES)
- Punch-Out!! (NES)
- Super Mario World (SNES)
This isn’t all of it, obviously, but it’s a pretty decent first blow. Nintendo has also confirmed that ther are plenty of other titles in the works – including Super Metroid – and that the service will expand to include Game Boy Advance and Nintendo 64 games at a later stage.
…and of course, how could we forget? EarthBound is coming!
