Something big is apparently headed to the Virtual Console, and Go Nintendo got hint of it first. Here's what one of their readers transcribed and sent them from gaming mag GamesTM:
“Something big is coming to the Virtual Console, something that, for the past decade, certain corners of the retro community have been crying out for. I wish I could say more, but the uncertainties of publishing schedules prevents me from spilling the beans too early. Nevertheless, if what we’ve heard turns out to be true, the virtual console is about to become a lot more interesting and looks like it might turn out to be much more valuable to dedicated retro gamers than we first thought.”
Could this be the same Christmas surprise that was being hinted at earlier? I have my doubts, seeing as how that was (supposedly) related to the Wii Channels interface, and this is specifically to do with the Virtual Console. Maybe Nintendo finally managed to secure the rights to add Golden Eye to the list of VC titles? My guess is as good as yours.
As always, take this supposedly "legit" info with a pinch of salt.

This would also explain why Capcom's Wii support has been virtually non-existant (besides Res. Evil UC) up until now.
PS: sweet avatar cruds. Extra points if that was actually you :-P
Righ timeframe, it was practically complete and it would make it a whole lot more interesting
Online MP sounds excellent and would add a lot of value to some games.
On an even wilder thought, level editors would be cool too.
Meh... that's my $.02
out = our
Bad speeling baby!
"...something that, for the past decade, certain corners of the retro community have been crying out for."
It's in the first sentence for fuck's sake. I don't think the retro community has been crying out for VC online play for a decade, or any of the other things that are being posted and have not yet been out for a ten years. Dracula X would be a good guess, or maybe quality Saturn emulation.
Hell, they ought to use the Famcom versions of a number of NES titles. Since the publishers in Japan could use their own chipsets, their games often looked and sounded better then their NES versions. Take Contra for example.
A new Kid Icarus?
This can't be about just one game, now can it?
It is probably a classic game, I am leaning towards Mother Earthbound and that stuff, probably Not Chrono trigger
Seiken Densetsu 3, Romancing SaGa trilogy, Terranigma, Bahamut Lagoon, Star Ocean, and any others that I missed.
