StarTropics heading to the Virtual Console?

This article is over 16 years old and may contain outdated information

In a turn of events that is sure to make many a Wii owner happy, the NES classic StarTropics has shown up in the database of Australia's OFLC website. As usual, this isn't 100% confirmation that the game will show up on the Virtual Console in the US, but it makes it very likely. StarTropics is interesting because it was never released in Japan, nor was it ever planned for a Japanese release. Kind of makes you wonder if Japan will get it on the Virtual Console at some point. Granted, it would require hefty translation, but it would be interesting to say the least to see the Japanese Virtual Console getting American imports.
