The chances of Rare striking a deal with Nintendo to bring the classic Goldeneye to the Wii Virtual Console is looking extremely slim.
“That was some time ago, my friend.”
“Fate was against us that day. Destiny conspired to raise the hurdles even as we attempted to clear them, resulting in unpleasant groinal injury.”
“I suspect we’re long past the stage where an agreement was on the cards, but you never know. Stranger things have happened… somewhere… probably,”
- Rare Developer

Pilotwings, the definitive flight game on the Super Nintendo, is set to land on the UK Virtual Console this Friday.
In Pilotwings, you take control of a range of flying machines and complete various challenges to advance through the ranks.
You can jump into a biplane and fly through the floating rings before bringing it down for a pinpoint landing, perform a precision skydive on to a distant ground target, soar silently from a hang glider and catch the thermals or even test the experimental Rocketbelt.

According to the latest issue of the prestigious Famitsu magazine Nintendo have issued a trademark for the Super Mario Collection.
Whilst links have been made between Super Mario All-Stars and the proposed trademark, nothing has actually been confirmed. Undoubtedly the title will surface for either the Wii Virtual Console or the Nintendo DS at some point in the near future.

Nintendo’s infamous pink blob is making a welcomed return to the prestigious UK Wii Virtual Console with the well-received Kirby’s Dream Land 3.
The game was released in Japan and the US in the late 90s but never came out in the UK. Now many gamers can enjoy this platformer for the first time. King DeDeDe is causing trouble in Dream Land and only Kirby can stop him. As ever, Kirby can swallow his enemies and absorb their abilities – fire, ice, stone, spark etc – and he can also request help from his animal friends like Rick the Hamster, Coo the Owl and Nago the Cat. He can even summon his stretchy-tongued pal Gooey, controlled either by the computer or a friend.
