There's a leak from Japanese magazine Anatao Damasare that Nintendo will be adding a new service to the Wii U virtual console tentatively titled "WiiDemand". The service would provide downloadable Wii, GameCube, Dreamcast, and Saturn titles to the virtual console. This is a rather big rumor, and could be an early April Fools joke (the fact that it was posted a day early having me kinda on the fence), so take this with a grain of salt or two.

Source:http://www.digitalso...m/news/708.html

According to the leak, these would be the launch titles for the service:


Nintendo Wii

Super Mario Galaxy 2 - This adventure for the Wii console marks the first time a second 3-D Mario game has arrived in the same console generation. In the game, Mario rides his trusty dinosaur companion, Yoshi, to new stars and the fantastic worlds found there. This 3-D platforming adventure provides longtime video game fans with a fresh round of out-of-this-world challenges in the style introduced in the critically acclaimed original.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword marks a turning point for The Legend of Zelda franchise. The introduction of full motion control enabled by the Wii MotionPlus accessory synchronizes player movements with Link's actions while offering the most intuitive play control of any game in The Legend of Zelda franchise to date.

Wii Sports Resort - Tennis (1-4 players): Players grab the controller like a racket and swing - the game will register forehands, backhands, volleys, lobs, slices, spin and power depending on how fast the user swings and at what angle. Don't worry about moving around the court to get to the ball - the game automatically moves players into position. Baseball (1-2 players): Grip the controller like a bat and swat fastballs out of the park in a home run derby. Timing and bat speed will make all the difference between going yard and whiffing, so keep an eye on the ball and swing for the fences. In the two-player game, one player pitches and the other bats. Golf (1 player): Step up to the tee, hold the controller like a golf club and swing naturally to smack the ball onto the green. The harder players swing the club, the farther the ball will fly, so be sure to take some practice swings before going for the pin. After reaching the green, line up putts carefully, practice the stroke and try to hole out.

Monster Hunter Tri - Living the life of a hunter need never be a solitary experience with the option of split-screen mode where two players can hunt co-operatively or form a team of up to four hunters via the game's custom online Wi-Fi mode. Even solo players do not have to face Monster Hunter Tri's challenging quests alone as they will be ably accompanied by Cha-Cha, an AI hunting partner whose skills will prove invaluable. New items, weapons and armour sets will be also available to assist the hunters as they embark on the most epic Monster Hunter adventure to date.

Nintendo GameCube

Super Mario Sunshine - When Mario, Peach, and an entourage of Peach's loyal Toad friends set out for a tropical vacation on lovely Isle Delfino, they're in store for much more than a relaxing holiday. A mustachioed maniac has mucked up the entire island, and Mario is accused of committing the crime. Armed with a hi-tech water cannon called FLUDD (Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device), Mario sets out to clean the island, clear his name, and solve the mystery of the villainous vandal. With new enemies, moves, and surprises, Super Mario Sunshine offers plenty of challenges.

Super Monkey Ball - Call your friends and warn your neighbors, it's time to have a ball! Go bananas with 90+ stages, multi-player madness, and 7 cool ways to play! Equal parts "party" and "game", Super Monkey Ball could be the most "well-rounded" game you've ever played!

Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes - Solid Snake debuts on the GameCube in Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. This game revives the first two Metal Gear Solid games--Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty--and combines their best features into one unique experience. You are Solid Snake--a spy called out of retirement to infiltrate an Alaskan nuclear base. During your mission, you'll discover secret military projects and surprising details about your past. Stealth is usually key to a successful mission, but if all else fails, you have a vast arsenal of weapons--including a silenced pistol, a rifle, guided missiles, and a sniper rifle--to dispose of your enemies.

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem - This horror story spans generations, so you must relive the blood-soaked history while conjuring spells, solving puzzles, and slaying supernatural beasts. Whether you're creeping around as the Roman Centurion, Cambodian villager, or any of the other characters, the psychological thriller will challenge you to use your mind as well as your might. The story is historically based and features many significant real-world events and locations, including the blood-soaked fields of the Somme, the jungle-ridden temples of Angkor Wat, the deserts of Persia, and the haunted vales of Rhode Island.

Sega Dreamcast

Jet Grind Radio - Join a graffiti crew, stamp your territory and protect it from rival taggers, but watch out for the angry cops!

Cannon Spike - Far into the future, a rogue group of terrorist robots wreak havoc on the world and it's citizens. The Anti Robot Squad Special Forces has been created to overthrow these radical robots. With an arsenal of weapons and high-powered Motor Boots, you must lead a courageous legion of seven members through multiple levels of robotic terror, huge bosses and other evils. Prepare yourself for the ultimate in speed, strategy and firepower.

Phantasy Star Online Ver. 2 - The realm of Phantasy Star Online has increased. Phantasy Star Online Ver. 2 includes all of the original content, and expands the world with more levels, more features, and more evil to combat. Master the Ultimate Difficulty setting, survive the Challenge Dungeon, and reign as the champion of Battle Mode. The evolution of the original revolutionary gaming experience continues.

Seaman - Now that you have obtained your own Seaman egg, use the faithful recreation of Dr. Gasse's laboratory to follow in his footsteps, uncovering the secrets of the Seaman. When the Seaman egg hatches, the adventure begins...

Sega Saturn

NiGHTS into Dreams - Immerse yourself in an unparalleled 3D flying experience. NiGHTS truly delivers an amazing virtual world of dreams -- filled with unbelievable real-time effects, fantastic creatures and nightmarish monsters.

Guardian Heroes - Much more than just a beat 'em up, Guardian Heroes is the perfect blend of action and adventure. Hack, slash and burn through hordes of androids, zombie warriors and goblins as you select your route through over 30 gripping levels, or battle it out in frantic 6-player mode with over 45 characters to choose from!

Virtua Cop - You're a cop. Putting your life on the line is your job. Staying alive is your challenge. Split second decision making, timing and lightning fast reflexes are what it takes in this adrenaline pumping game of cat and mouse. Dirt bags pop out of virtually every hiding place with their guns aimed, cocked and ready to shoot - you!

Fighting Vipers - Electric fences. Barb wire cages. No-mercy skate punks. Axe-wielding rockers. Rollerbladers who take the term seriously... Fighting Vipers is street fighting in its rawest form. Furious, wall-to-wall combat brought to life with a visual intensity and relentless game play so superior, so brutal beyond comparison, nothing can prepare you for what you've got coming. NOTHING!

The thing that destroys this is that there is no baseball in Wii Sports Resort, and the only kind of tennis is table tennis.

What we do is, if we ever need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
We put the volume up to eleven. One louder.

This is very feasible as Nintendo could re-release gems that people couldn't get during the Wii's lifetime due to various reasons. Sony is doing it with there Ps2 downloads and Microsoft with downloadable releases of Xbox games. The Wii U memory can also be expanded with a harddrive through Usb and SD cards so memory isn't a big problem. The same can be said for other games from past consoles. This also could give people the chance to play games that were missed out on and could lead to the devs making a brand new game to the series such as Sin and Punishment was a popular game on wiiware and got the game Sin and Punishment Star Successor.

Well.... I just Googled the name of the magazine and............ nothing. No official site, and the only place it's ever been referenced is to is on the webpage. We can definitely file this one as an early April Fool's day joke (the fact that they posted it on the 31st of march had me kinda hopeful too :( ).

They updated the end of the article:
Okay, yes, this is an April Fool's Day prank. The name of the so-called Japanese magazine is "anata o damasa re" smooshed together. And "anata o damasa re" is kind of a mangled translation of "Fooled You" into Japanese.
