GenGAME writes: Nintendo is holding a special Wii U Direct tomorrow, which is set to focus on new Wii U games and services. GenGAME writer Alex Plant speculated that we might finally get word of the long-awaited Wii U Virtual Console service, and NeoGAF user Aquamarine believes the source code for the Nintendo Direct page in the UK supports this.
A quick search through the source code for the Nintendo Direct page reveals the phrase “wiiu_virtualconsole” as well as a number of references to older Nintendo systems, including “nintendo_gamecube.”
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.
nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.
people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly
mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.
zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.
nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.
its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.
but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
The GameCube listing looks like it's just one of the many systems they have in the database...but that's definitely a listing for a Wii U Virtual Console... Too bad it's unlikely we'll find any files just by digging...
Nintendo treats the Wii U's VC will be paramount for them moving forward. I hope it becomes a treasure trove of gaming history. No more trickling of titles, just a whole log of old school games, and the ability to play VC games on the gamepad would be excellent. Also tie the games originally purchased on the Wii be able to be transferred to a true Wii U digital account system. That alone would boost the value and content of the system tenfold.
resident evil 1 remake and zero?

Speaking of gamecube . . Why in the bloody heaven, has there not been a more graphically realistic looking game than Resident Evil 1 REMAKE for the Gamecube? .
