That would be nice. I'm no expert, but can't you play Wii Virtual Console games on the Wii U?

Original backwards compatible Wii's are the best way to play Smash 64 because that method allows you to use the awesome GameCube controller.

If not, I'm sure someone will inject it into VC with Wii U hax.

Let's hope NX has a really good VC.

Well, you have to keep in mind that the game has frame skip enabled so it actually isn't the best way, persay.

Yeah, the original N64 version is the best but the cartridges are getting harder to come by at reasonable prices nowadays. Also, since the N64 looks so horrible on HDTV's many people prefer the original Wii VC version that plays in 480p. For competitive play, however, the N64 version or PC for on-line are probably the only acceptable choices.

Not sure... Only about a year before the NX comes out.

If they do, I sure hope they work out the quirks from the Wii VC version and allow GC controls. Wii U VC lets you customize your controls too. Maybe they could even add some macros for smashes and grabs (I don't think SSB64 had a grab button...) to the game.

Smash 64 was available on the Wii as a VC Game, so I don't see why they wouldn't add it to the Wii U eShop at some point.

As for when I don't think anybody knows the answer to that; however again it did appear on the Wiis eShop long ago so there's high chances of it returning to the Wii Us eShop. Until then all we can do is play the waiting game and just hope for the best in all honesty.

So what you're saying is that we can't send violent and threatening e-mails demanding that we get 64 on the Wii U VC?

Does the Wii Menu on the Wii U still have the shop channel? If it doesn't then this response is completely void, but why would they bother releasing it to Wii U VC if you can still download it through the wii menu on the wii u?

Wii U Virtual Console titles can be played on the GamePad so that's why some people want Smash 64 on the eShop.

I really hope it does become available. It would be cool if you could also buy all the smash games in like a special addition bundle kinda like how blizzard does their battle chests

It should become available at some point. We don't know when exactly but all we can do now is just wait.

I would love to see it on the Wii u, but I have a feeling that every smash game will be on the NX
