Well, yes it is, but that's the Wii VC, Not the Wii U.Isn't the game already available on European Wii VC since 22nd August 2008? That would make the Wii U VC port the second one.
Man, that was a great game! I have is on the SNES and it is really fun! I encourage anyone who hasn't played it to get it on the virtual console!
Basically everyone who did not own a Wii because it never released in Europe as a physical game.
Yeah, that was a shame. Europe always got the short end of the stick back then.
