A Nintendo spokesperson has confirmed that the Wii Virtual Console could be host to games not previously released in Europe. "There is always the potential for games that haven't seen the light of day in Europe to be on the Virtual Console. The Virtual Console is the perfect platform for them," a Nintendo UK spokesperson told Eurogamer.net.
There is a possibility that fan-favorite titles from third party developers that were previously only released in the United States, could be available in Europe via the download service. "I can't speak for third-parties, but if it's the right game then there's absolutely no reason why it should just be a first-party game," the spokesperson said.
Nintendo of America vice president, George Harrison, previously also commented that the platform holder was open to previously unavailable Japanese games being released in the US if they could be translated properly.
