Shame it's not coming out to the Wii's VC, but I guess that's all the more reason to buy a Wii U. Smart move Nintendo. :P

Nintendo took a while, and probably due to legal reasons, but finally! They are actually listening to us!

I said it wasn't coming out on the Wii's VC, but it will on the Wii U's VC and that it was a smart decision to move console sales.

I was told by someone at Nintendo that this was never going to happen. Good thing he was wrong! Love it when people who think they know things are wrong. :-)

My bad. Anyway, Nintendo shutting down some online support of Wii channels it's basically a dead console.

I have mixed feelings about the release. I'm glad it's finally being released. But I was also hoping it would stay on the SNES due to collecting purposes. Either way I'm still happy about the announced.

I wouldn't worry about it at all. A physical copy will still hold tremendous value as a collector's item regardless of the fact that it's getting a digital release.

Has it been confirmed whether this is coming to the European VC as well? Considering the original Earthbound wasn't even released over here...

I believe so.

Edit:

 

Yep, right here: http://www.eurogamer...e-due-next-week

 

1994 SNES classic Earthbound will be released for the first time in Europe this year via the Wii U Virtual Console.
