Wii U Virtual Console Games News: The Wii U Virtual Console launch lineup includes a mixture of NES and SNES classic games, set for release after the system update.

Wii U Virtual Console launch games announced

The Wii U major update expected this week is to be followed by eight Wii U Virtual Console launch games, Nintendo announced today. The Virtual Console should arrive very soon after the Wii U update goes live and will feature the following titles:

Balloon Fight - NES
Donkey Kong Jr. - NES
Excitebike - NES
Ice Climber - NES
Kirby’s Adventure - NES
Punch-Out - NES
F-Zero - SNES
Super Mario World - SNES

Keep in mind that if you purchased these titles on the Wii’s Virtual Console, you will be able to get these games at a massive discount. If that is the case, then you will be able to buy these for either one dollar on up to $1.50. This is a substantial discount over what these games normally cost and if the prices for these Virtual Console titles mirror what they cost on the Wii Virtual Console then you will be looking at around $5 for the NES titles and approximately $8 for the SNES titles.

Personally speaking I will be downloading Super Mario World as soon as it becomes available. Which Wii U Virtual Consoles game will you be downloading?
