Sega would like to clarify a statement that was issued over Twitter. All options are currently on the table concerning development for the Wii U Virtual Console. Although there are no immediate plans, this does not negate the possibility and exploration of creating for this platform.

Over on Twitter a fan asked Sega Developer Yosuke Okunari whether or not we could expect any SEGA games coming the way of Wii U, but it doesn’t look hopeful.

Just want to thank you for helping with the Nintendo Virtual Console. Introduced me to a lot of games on wii! Any Wii U VC plans?

There is no such plan.
