When they announced the disc version, they said it was a limited edition. Considering there's a bundle with Mario & Luigi U combined on disc, they might have meant it. It might eventually be considered scarce, or it might become like a loose Duck Hunt, ya never know.

They never said it was a limited edition. They said it was available for the Year of Luigi. People on the internet took that to mean it would be discontinued at the end of the year when the Year of Luigi was over. The rumor caught on, and even big sites were reporting it was limited. But as far as I know, Nintendo has never stated that it's a limited edition.

Uhm...

New Super Luigi U is in shops now as a packaged Game Disc** version, but this edition of the game will only be distributed by Nintendo during 2013 – The Year of Luigi!

I guess there's a chance, but it wasn't released on the Wii VC in Europe. It was released in the US (on Wii) however, so maybe Europe gets it this time, too. First SquareEnix has to recognize there's still a VC in the West, of course.

Two Tribes @TwoTribesGames
Looks like we'll be announcing a new classic coming to Wii U soon. Can you guess which one?

Any guesses?

Hmm.... Sword and Soldiers is possible (especially with S&S2 announced last week), though TwoTribes only made the iOS version. But who knows? It's the most likely candidate, in my opinion.

Yup. Wii U VC output is actually quite decent in Japan... at least the releases keep coming. Stupid PEGI requiring a new rating even for VC games : /

Possible 2 gamepad game coming? Gemology

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/20..._eshop_and_utilising_the_systems_capabilities

"NL: Will that online play be real-time, or asynchronous with data exchanges? Does the absence of double GamePad support also rule out local multiplayer?

JT: Actually... we're working with the possibility of two GamePads as that was something promised at the time of the Wii U's release, so if you have a buddy and you like the game enough, maybe you'll be able to bring your pad over because Gemology's multiplayer is about vengeance and punishment!"

The Wii U eShop sales are really light. Is it common for devs to reduce the Wii U versions of the games, too, during Steam sales?

We were supposed to get Adventure Island 2, years ago, on the Wii, and now we just get it on the 3DS. Why can't they just release both versions on the same day? I don't understand NOA at all.

Certainly, NOA believes SMB 3 has already been released. There can be no other explanation.
Click to expand...

They definitely know it's not been released yet, they just apparently live in a really unique dimension of ignorance and incompetency over at NOA, this story is from about a month ago, even NOA *employees* want to know where SMB 3 is:

http://nintendoeverything.com/ninte...bros-3-will-be-out-on-the-na-virtual-console/

Although it should hardly come as a surprise, Nintendo customer service has no clue as to when Super Mario Bros. 3 will be launching on the North American Virtual Console.

Super Mario Bros. 3 landed in Europe right before the end of 2013 – for both Wii U and 3DS. Meanwhile, there hasn’t been any news about a stateside release aside from the fact that the game is coming… eventually.
Reader Andy decided to email Nintendo customer service in hopes of obtaining an update. Not much was revealed, but you can find the full response below.

Hello,
Thanks for contacting us. I was sorry to learn that the Virtual Console feature of the Nintendo eShop was frustrating you. Your feedback is very important to us, even when it isn’t necessarily positive, so I want you to know I’ve documented your email and am forwarding it to the department which oversees the Nintendo eShop.
Click to expand...

"The department which oversees the Nintendo eShop." Wow, would I love to know who these clowns are. This was a month ago so obviously the feedback went into oblivion.

Regarding your request for information, I can confirm that every week we plan to release new digital titles to the Nintendo eShop. In some cases, they will be all Virtual Console titles, in other cases they will be original games, but for most weeks the releases will be a mix of the two. Beyond this, I’m sorry to say we don’t have information which tells us how decisions are made regarding Virtual Console titles. This means we’re unable to determine why Super Mario Bros. 3 hasn’t been released or given a release date, and we apologize for any inconvenience this causes. I can certainly understand your enthusiasm for this game as many of us (myself included!) would like to download this game as well!
I can only recommend keeping an eye on our website (www.nintendo.com) for announcements about new Nintendo eShop releases and for any updates regarding Super Mario Bros. 3.

Still kinda pissed that Nintendo doesn't have any of the older Pokemon games on the 3DS eshop... I'm in the mood to spend money with the whole TPP craze going on now, but Nintendo doesn't want my money :(

Any idea what Yumi's Odd Oddysey's going to come in at pricewise? I can see arguments for $20 (Level-5 put Inazuma there as a series intro) and $30 (Senran Kagura, Phoenix Wright...)

Even if its not remarkable for game standards these days, I would love if NOA released the first Earthbound game for NES as a surprise on the VC sometime...

Would be nice...

This was just posted in the thread for the Mario Kart 8 LE. What's important here is not the LE, but this segment:

En en attendant le 30 mai, les fans désireux de faire gronder les moteurs et entraîner leurs réflexes, pourront profiter du grand classique de la Super Nintendo, Super Mario Kart* qui sortira sur le Nintendo eShop** de la console virtuelle Wii U le 27 mars
Click to expand...

As far as my French helps me here, this means Super Mario Kart is coming to WiiU VC on March 27th.
Also it explains further below that this will be the US version of the game.

Edit: English source

Meanwhile, for fans wishing to keep their kart tyres warm and reactions sharp before 30th May, the Super Nintendo classic Super Mario Kart* will release on Nintendo eShop** as a Wii U Virtual Console title on 27th March.

Maybe Super Mario Kart's release would be a good occasion to revive the VC highscore thread? But then again hardly anyone ever participated the first time.
