Interested in seeing the Turok games on the Virtual Console? Then let Classic Media know!
Classic Media now owns the rights to the Turok franchise and the company is open to the idea of Virtual Console releases. One fan has apparently been told that now is the time to speak up, so if this is something you’d like to see, send an email to [email protected].
It sounds like the Turok titles would head to the Wii U as opposed to Wii, which makes sense since Nintendo’s older console is out of the picture. Still, things could be tricky givem how the N64 VC hasn’t launched on Wii U just yet.

Live A Live getting Virtual Console re-release in time for its 20th anniversary
Posted on 10 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Following his success in designing Final Fantasy IV, Takashi Tokita went on to create a lesser known RPG called Live A Live, a Japan-only RPG that had a story that was all over the place. Described as Street Fighter imagined as a JRPG, the storylines had quite literally everything form a kung-fu tale to a western. This stowed away Super Famicon gem will be coming to the Japanese Virtual Console sometime in the near future and while Square was quite thorough with porting their more esoteric games to the Wii, Live A Live never made it to that platform making it the first time it will be released in a Virtual Console setting.
