That would be awesome. Is this actually probable?And you're going to get at least two new games (one of which being Monolith Soft's new game). You're just having a Wii U Virtual Console announcement to go with it.
Exactly my point. Nintendo needs to bank on new ideas now.
lol this will never happen

didn't Nintendo already confirm that playing VC games on the gamepad screen is just a matter of time?
"We do not have any specifics to share at this time," a Nintendo of America rep told me in an e-mail. "However, we are moving ahead with development of Virtual Console for Wii U, and we plan to make it so you can play it on the Wii U GamePad alone."

The game of Quidditch ends when the seeker catches the Snitch. On both the GameCube and Game Boy Advance versions, players are actually sent to a special Snitch-seeker mini-game that will finalize the score when a player grabs the winged orb. But link the two games together, and the GBA player is dedicated to grabbing the snitch while the console player continues to score goals and close or expand the gap between the two teams. It's definitely one of the best uses of connectivity so far on the GBA. .
At E3 last May, Nintendo had one GameCube set aside to show off a potential feature in the cel-shaded adventure. By hooking up a Game Boy Advance, players can equip the handheld as an item in their inventory...by using the GBA, a little program gets sent to the system that allows a second player to play as Tingle. On the LCD screen, players see the familiar Legend of Zelda map, but on the GameCube version, the player is represented as a cursor that can move freely in the local area. The person playing as Tingle can help link by moving the cursor over items and blowing them up with bombs, destroying vases, enemies, or doorways while Link does his own thing.
If you ever find yourself lost in the GameCube version of this intense war shooter, hooking up the GBA with Medal of Honor Infiltrator will pull up an overhead map of the area you're in. You can even cycle through the locations of friendly soldiers, health, food, ammo, and more...definitely giving you an advantage over the enemies. And the other console versions. .
Another surprise revealed at this year's E3 was Sega's demonstration of its online RPG's connection feature: by going to the game's online lobby, players can connect their GBA and play mini-game versions of Chu Chu Rocket, Columns Crown, Puyo Pop, and, probably the most exciting, Nights into Dreams on the handheld. This one's a little hard to classify, since, honestly, the GBA connection isn't entirely necessary. But, it does give Sega the ability to post small demos of its upcoming GBA games for players to taste-test for free, simply by downloading them off the PSO server. And that should be a big deal for any GBA gamer.
Ubi Soft's GameCube version of its popular espionage game feature an exclusive connectivity mode with the Game Boy Advance utilizing the GameCube Game Boy Advance cable, offering enhanced gameplay mechanics that can be utilized during the action. Wherever the player is on the GameCube, it will be displayed on the Game Boy Advance as a vector-style overhead map. Unique to the Game Boy Advance/GameCube connectivity is a "sticky bomb" which can be attached to Sam Fisher's gun. When fired, it will latch onto the target (moving or not), and using the GBA system, pressing the button will detonate the bomb. The GameCube game also has a few original levels that can downloaded to the Game Boy Advance version of Splinter Cell.
They said it was gonna happen.
Why not?
So any rumors in the past 6-7 hours? (other than the Monolith one)
What in the world makes you confident that Monolith Soft's mysterious untitled work-in-progress is one of the titles that is guaranteed to be aired tomorrow morning?
11 hours to go! I've got my Wii U stream and popcorn set up ready to go. Hmm maybe I should do something in the meantime.
You sound so sure of this, you must be from the future.lol this will never happen
Sacred Stones and Path of Radiance were pretty much developed simultaneously, to the point IntSys wasn't sure which one was originally going to release first (both were referred to as FE8 in the source code). They've been done with Awakening for a while now, and while I think it's extremely unlikely we'll get one announced tomorrow, I don't think FE Wii U announced this year and released in 2014 is too far-fetched. Specially since we get a Fire Emblem every 2 years (only FE4, FE5 and FE6 were released three years apart from each other).There's no way IntSys can unveil another FE this fast, so it must be Fire Emblem Musou made by Omega Force with connectivity to Awakening.
That's gonna be some shitty popcorn in 11 hours.
Don't think it takes 11 hours for popcorn to go stale
Yes.You sound so sure of this, you must be from the future.
It was listed in Nintendo's last financial as an untitled upcoming release in Japan. Its definitely possibleWhat in the world makes you confident that Monolith Soft's mysterious untitled work-in-progress is one of the titles that is guaranteed to be aired tomorrow morning?

NEW ANNOUNCEMENT.
You know how Iwata was going to talk about some of Nintendo's "services we're developing" tomorrow?
Well I've found evidence that one of the services that will be announced for tomorrow is STRONGLY IMPLIED to be Virtual Console for the Wii U. How do I know?
Because I found this in the source code for the Nintendo Direct page in the UK:
view-source:http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Misc-/Nintendo-Direct/Latest-Nintendo-Direct/Nintendo-Direct-698557.html
It also has "Nintendo GameCube" there as well. GameCube games for Wii U Virtual Console confirmed?
tmdean checked the Google Cache source code, which shows how the site appeared on January 12th, and it DIDN'T HAVE THE LISTING FOR the Wii U Virtual Console.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=46774404&postcount=1767
Isn't it coincidential that "Wii U (Virtual Console" was added to the source code just recently...when Iwata's about to announce a Nintendo Direct "about what kind of Wii U titles and services Nintendo is developing"?
I would bet money on Wii U Virtual Console showing up tomorrow.
I think Mother series is going to be in Virtual Console on Wii U announcement...
Source: http://earthboundcentral.com/2012/12/itoi-announces-mother-developments/
Mother (AKA Earthbound in USA) creator Itoi Shigesato has tweeted some new information on upcoming developments regarding the Mother series.
Tweet #1:
Tweet #2:
So the first tweet says that it is a "republication." This means that they are (hopefully) working on remaking (or editing) the series for potential future release. Maybe they are taking the questionable legal issues out for release outside of Japan.
The second tweet emphasizes that it is not Mother 4, so there will be no new addition to the Mother trilogy. It does, however say they are trying to make the series playable, meaning able to play on modern consoles in this day and age.

Went through all my old games and found 21 unused Club Nintendo codes from last gen. This should be interesting.
Just the Monolith retweet, her history of retweeting ND's that talk about Monolith Soft, and NOJ's site listing the Monolith game with other "known" Nintendo releases. Everything just lines up nicely.
Guys....
Wind Waker on the Gamepad
Guys...
That's gonna be some shitty popcorn in 11 hours.
Only 13 of them worked and I'm 600 stars away from the only thing I want from that damn catalogue.
I haven't popped them yet, they are still in their bag sitting in the microwave with the timer set ready to hit STARTThat's gonna be some shitty popcorn in 11 hours.

I'm not sure, but it's gonna get cold. And it'll get all soggy and shit if you put butter in it.
Please Nintendo...please don't make me re-purchase my VC game collection.

This little beauty.
Wii U Virtual Console, and a most likely fake Resident Evil 2 rumor.
I swear I seen one of those in a pawn shop and other stores.
I'm not expecting anything. Basically, if they frame this as "new" as in "not out yet," we may just see more on Panorama View, Game & Wario, Wii Fit U, Lego City Undercover and Pikmin 3.
Yeah, but I wouldn't be paying for this one. That's why it's such a desirable thing for me.
This little beauty.
Uh, why? So you can play a portable version of a game that'd look superior with correct colors and HD on a big screen, on a controller where you must be within a certain distance of the console in order for it to work?I would pay $60 for a gamepad only port (Not even HD remake) of Wind Waker. My monies is ready.
I haven't popped them yet, they are still in their bag sitting in the microwave with the timer set ready to hit START
Yes, my kitchen is ready.
Any rumors with substance about what we can expect?

Yes. Screw sitting in front of the tv. I don't like to sit in front of my tv.Uh, why? So you can play a portable version of a game that'd look superior with correct colors and HD on a big screen, on a controller where you must be within a certain distance of the console in order for it to work?
