I put up a translated list of all the Wii Virtual Console games taken from Nintendo’s website. They also list upcoming games on the site so I include those as well. I will try to keep this updated as often as they do: http://www.fiveforty.net/wii/jp/vc/

The PS library includes almost all PS1 and 2 games remember?
The Wii’s only gets what is out on VC and cube titles added to it’s library.

Effectively numbers wise all the consoles launched with large libraries.

Sure, the cool thing to do would be to stay off the VC games until there’s some multiplayer functionality. But 1) the VC titles, are mostly one player affairs. 2) The library of titles for the Wii is still comparably smaller than either Xbox360 and the PS3. That’s what did the Gamecube in. So you can understand why they would release the as-is versions on their VC.

The name of the game here is to inflate your library by whatever means possible.

Hatake Kakashi, Street Fighter II doesn’t have any upgrades like online play, it’s just the same SNES game. As of now all of the Virtual Console games are just like the originals.

I’m pretty sure that Warioware intro is the greatest thing ever.

Can you play against other people online in SF2?! That would be so cool, like the old days in the arcades, without the smell of sweat and cigarettes.

Yes! Japanese Wii has SF2 for download?! Now I don’t feel so bad for being forced to buy the Wii in Japan instead of in the US.
