Gargoyle’s Quest II: The Demon Darkness has been rated by the OFLC. That should hint at a new Virtual Console release, though Capcom hasn’t made any official announcements as of yet. Since the Game Boy version of Gargoyle’s Quest II never launched outside of Japan, OFLC’s rating likely pertains to the NES version.

According to a listing on Nintendo of Europe’s site, NES Open Tournament Golf will be launching on the European Wii U eShop next week. The game will be available as a Virtual Console download starting on February 6. Pricing is set at €4.99 / £4.49. 

Natsume community manager “CeeCee” commented on the publisher’s plans for Virtual Console in the future.

As of late, Natsume has been receiving quite a few fan questions/requests to re-release Game Boy Advance and GameCube titles. Doing so, however, isn’t so simple.

CeeCee explained that when it comes to GBA, this is something the Virtual Console doesn’t support. But interestingly, Nintendo is apparently “working on this” and Natsume “look[s] forward to the day it’s possible.”

Regarding yesterday’s announcement of DS support on Wii U, CeeCee said, “it’s an exciting time, and we’ll be reviewing our DS catalogue for potential titles.”
