Star Fox 64 is Now Available on the Wii U's Nintendo eShop

[Hope(N Forever)]

Star Fox 64 is now available on the Nintendo eShop as a Wii U Virtual Console title! Nintendo of Europe released the game on March 24, 2016 for a promotional price of only €4.99 / £4.49 until April 21, 2016, one day before the expected release of Star Fox Zero; the price will afterwards revert to the standard Nintendo 64 Virtual Console game price of €9.99 / £8.99, so you better hurry and take advantage of this offer!

Nintendo of America have made no announcements at the time this thread was posted.

NOTICE: For the first time ever, Europeans can play the U.S. version of Star Fox 64 at its glorious full 60 Hz! Additionally, if you previously purchased Lylat Wars from the Wii Shop Channel on or transferred to the same Wii U console, you can get the Nintendo eShop re-release at only a fraction of the price as any other Nintendo 64 title, despite it being the U.S. version with the proper "Star Fox 64" moniker.

About bloody time Star Fox 64 got some love on that thing, though. Personally, still waitin' for the original Star Fox.

Not going to happen. Legal mumbo jumbo with the FX chip.

Yeah, I know... It's exhausting at this point, trying to wait for Nintendo to get it back, though. Who currently has it, again?

Tfw you live in the US... ;-;

Is it me or do the Japanese voices sound more over-the-top than their English counterparts?

Also this has me curious if the NX will be able to emulate a 3DS. It'd be cool to also have 64 3D on the eshop as well.

Finally!

As of today, North American Wii U owners can finally download Star Fox 64 from the Nintendo eShop, or purchase the game directly from Nintendo of America's website here.
