Wii would still like to play! Please, Nintendo!
With the Wii's Virtual Console service all but dried up, one can't help but fear for the worst when it comes to potential releases in the future. Wii U is coming towards the end of this year and now is likely Nintendo's last chance to throw their motion-controlled juggernaut some love and end its reign with a bang, but unfortunately the focus now seems to be on trickling out Game Boy classics onto the 3DS Virtual Console.
We know that some kind of download service will be on Nintendo's next machine, but the lineup for that will likely revolve around GameCube titles rather than expanding on the currently available lists of NES, SNES and N64 games.
There are still literally dozens of games that could and should be posted on the Wii Shop Channel, some obvious choices that gamers have been desiring to replay since the console's launch, some obscure fan favorites, and others that will likely never see release due to licensing factors. I've put together a personal wish list of games that I'd really love to see, with a special guest page by Pedro. Along the way I'll try to fathom a reasonable guess as to why these games aren't already available on the Virtual Console service, but here's hoping some, if not all of these, eventually do make it to retro retail glory.
