THIS IS OLD. Look at your actual eShop on your Wii U to see real list.

North America
None

Europe
None

If you have already bought a VC game before on the Wii, you will get a discount. NES games will instead cost $1.00 and SNES games will cost $1.50.
To achieve this new price, you must have already done a Wii to Wii U VC transfer.
Once done, the eShop will actively show you the new price as well as the words "Discount" shown in the listing as well, even before you go to buy it again.

Are the original Wii VC games playable on the Wii U?
Yes. In Wii Mode, all previous Wii VC games are available within Wii Mode after you do the system transfer.

If I already have a Wii VC game and do the upgrade, will it delete it from the Wii mode side?
No. It will continue to be there in Wii mode, even if you buy it again on the Wii U side.

Will Wii VC saves carry over?
No. Saves do not make it over. You will be starting from scratch.

Why isn't XYZ on the upcoming list? I know it's coming.
Even if we know a VC title is coming, I won't add it to the list unless it's upcoming within a few weeks or we know a specific release date.

The banners are all thanks to Alistair Roo!

Eight titles? Lolz

The latest Nintendo Direct had me believe there would be more available.

Frolow · Apr 23, 2013

Well...

EleventhDoctor · Apr 23, 2013

And then nothing of note for 6 months.

Levyne · Apr 23, 2013

please be excited

jwk94 · Apr 23, 2013

dam...

Gonzo The Great · Apr 23, 2013

So four games that were part of the Famicom 30th Anniversary promotion, three games that were part of the 3DS Ambassador program, two games that were rereleased as 3D Classics, and Super Mario World.

Whoever is handling the Virtual Console should be fired immediately. The Wii had a better launch lineup than this. :/

Amir0x · Apr 23, 2013

hahaha. come on. come ON.

Super Metroid in May for 30 cents.

Off-Kilter · Apr 23, 2013

At least it's something, right?

...

right?

Father_Brain · Apr 23, 2013

Awesome, Nintendo delivering on all fronts

Eusis · Apr 23, 2013

Time for a hostile takeover from CD Projekt to put GOG in charge of the VC.

VariantX · Apr 23, 2013

All of that should come out on the first day. They've got to stop with this trickle down nonsense with the VC. Hell its basically a mirror of the 3DS VC.

Risgroo · Apr 23, 2013

CrunchinJelly · Apr 23, 2013

Weren't most of those already on the sales?

:-/

Vanille · Apr 23, 2013

Riveting

BlazingDarkness · Apr 23, 2013

OP should replace the list with the itsfuckingnothing gif.

mullet2000 · Apr 23, 2013

God I was expecting it to be bad but that's a borderline slap in the face.

We're supposed to get Super Metroid next month. Kirby Super Star/Kirby's Dream Land 3/Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA) looks like it's coming soon.

Shadow2222 · Apr 23, 2013

Not just the fact that there are eight, but that four have technically already been available so far.

Wow...

Czigga · Apr 23, 2013

FFS man

gngf123 · Apr 23, 2013

That's a pretty damn short list...

Well, only way to go is up.

ClovingWestbrook · Apr 23, 2013

Knew it. 7 games. Nintendo folks.

Ein Bear · Apr 23, 2013

"Here's a sneak peak at some of the games we'll be launching on the service! We'll be announcing the full launch lineup after a countdown!"

Three Days Later

"The launch lineup is exactly what was in the sneak peak. That's it."

GAMERG0D · Apr 23, 2013

Aaaaaaaaand three of those have been $0.30 before, one is $0.30 now, Excitebike was free on 3DS for a limited time, and two of those given away on 3DS for Ambassadors. So Super Mario World remains for me...

DJSharpeCheddar · Apr 23, 2013

Chris Kohler going thermonuclear in 3....2....1........

cw_sasuke · Apr 23, 2013

Even worse than WiiU actual lineup....congrats Nintendo.

Yep. Every single game, excluding Super Mario World, has already been rereleased on Wii U/3DS.

Camjo-Z · Apr 23, 2013

because we just can't wait to get our hands on ice climber for the fifth time

Nightstick11 · Apr 23, 2013

Come the fuck on Nintendo. At least make the Wii VC available day one

Zia · Apr 23, 2013

Bwahaha, oh my God. Nintendo loathes its fans.

Tagg9 · Apr 23, 2013

Wow haha. I can't believe the system update thread had 38 pages of speculation regarding this.

darkside31337 · Apr 23, 2013

This is the sneak peek list right?

Emitan · Apr 23, 2013

Holy shit. Nintendo. Come on.

Anth0ny · Apr 23, 2013

Did you guys really expect anything more than that? lol

I wonder how long until we get N64 titles.

Drago · Apr 23, 2013

Shit lineup.

I already have 4 of those games, and 3 of the other 4 are shit titles not worth $5 at all.

Fuck.

Bel_Air_Jeff · Apr 23, 2013

Da fuck is this shit Nintendo?

captainwhat · Apr 23, 2013

It boggles my mind that we're probably going to have to wait the span of the Wii U's life span to get all of the titles we already got.

MicH · Apr 23, 2013

Great, now we can buy the same games we've already bought on Wii and 3DS!

Seriously Nintendo

At least Super Mario World is new

ClovingWestbrook · Apr 23, 2013

Can't wait for the defenders to come in and argue that it's better this way so Nintendo can properly market and advertize these games.

Jailer of Hope · Apr 23, 2013

You cannot defend this. It is just not possible.

jacob armitage · Apr 23, 2013

awful.

is it M2 doing this round of emulation again? i can't believe they would give it such a weak launch after so much time.

LiK · Apr 23, 2013

this is just for the week right?

Zoramon089 · Apr 23, 2013

Whoever is in charge of Nintendo's VC group needs to be fired

Amir0x · Apr 23, 2013

I would have thought they would have gone beastmode with Wii U doing what it is since this is something fairly in their control and all, but I guess they still don't feel the heat or something

Zee-Row · Apr 23, 2013

I really hate the things Nintendo does , why not just give us more? Why do we have to wait months and years for games we want?

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
