Virtual Console News

Wii

A Nintendo spokesperson, speaking to Eurogamer.net has revealed that the PAL verison of the Virtual Console could play host to titles that haven't seen the light of day in certain regions.

"There is always the potential for games that haven't seen the light of day in Europe to be on the Virtual Console. The Virtual Console is the perfect platform for them," the spokesperson remarked.

So what does that mean, exactly? Well, it means that games like the acclaimed Super Mario RPG for the SNES as well as other memorable titles would finally get a release on the PAL format. Whether or not this includes Australia is unknown, but we can probably assume it will.

"Obviously any game not ever released in Europe would have to under go the PEGI and BBFC ratings process."

No titles confirmed, or even hinted at yet, but it's still interesting news.
