Banjo-Kazooie and Blast Corps possibly releasing today... on the Japanese Wii U Virtual Console [Update: Mistake, not releasing]
- Thread starter purseowner
- Start date
This definitely opens the door to a Switch release, either via Switch Online, or preferably eShop releases, hopefully using the Mario 64 3D All-Stars emulator.
That's an odd choice to have on the Wii U.
I guess if it's just ROM dumps of the old games in an emulator, it's easy money to make from the dozens of people with a Wii U still hooked up.

they're gonna make an easy 200 bucks from all those wiiu owners
Them being on the Wii U isn't the weirdest part. The weirdest part is it not being on the Switch first.
My guess is it's an error and isn't actually happening.
The question is how was this error made?
Alright, so, Rare games were planned for Wii U VC at one point in 2015-2016.
My guess? They were moved WAY back on the Nintendo website's release calender after those plans fell through and are only just becoming public listings for... some reason? I don't think these are actually releasing, but the listings aren't just auto-generated garbage since they do list Microsoft as the publisher.

I vaguely feel like this sort of thing has happened before because Rare games were used as test data for the VC emulators/database.
Would love to be proven wrong, but I mean, there's zero chance Nintendo is doing something (positive) with the Wii U in 2020 lol.

Has to be an error but I wouldn't be surprised if Banjo HD ports in switch were part of the Banjo in Smash deal.
Occam's razor is this is an error of some kind than Nintendo and Microsoft agreeing to release games on a deader than dead console.
If such ports existed they would have already been released by now.

they need to do something with all those unsold wiius sitting in the back of the NOJ storage locker
This is definitely one of those situations where one of you was offered a wish by a genie and forgot to be specific.
