Sourve: Nintendo PR

North America may not be getting Ninja Gaiden as its Wii U Virtual Console title for this week after all. Instead, it would seem that Zelda: A Link to the Past will be taking its place.

Ninja Gaiden’s listing has been removed on Nintendo’s site, but an entry for Zelda: A Link to the Past has appeared. Most would probably take Link to the Past over Ninja Gaiden here, so this is probably a good thing!

We’ll see how this pans out tomorrow.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

One of the highlights from Nintendo’s investor briefing today was the confirmation of DS support for the Wii U Virtual Console. You can find out what president Satoru Iwata said about the functionality below.

The Wii U Virtual Console will be receiving DS support, Nintendo has confirmed.

Nintendo hasn’t shared concrete details, but the company suggested during its investor briefing today that the GamePad will split the game action in half – at least based on the image above.
