One of these major additions is the Virtual Console service. The Virtual Console will support NES, SNES, and GBA so far. And, it will be released later this year. There is still no info regarding GameCube games being added to the service.
But, we do have a taste of what this service will be like.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Famicom. So, to celebrate, for the next six months Nintendo will be releasing one game a month that will sort of a trial. Just to see what it is like. These games will be at a discounted price of 30 cents. This month gets Balloon Fight from the NES.
I have purchased the game and have played it for about twenty minutes. So, I'm going to give a little insight on some of the features of the WiiU VC service
So, let's start with the basic features of the game. It is a two player game, so one person can be playing on the gamepad while the other uses the Classic Pro. It is different because the button layouts can be fully customized. It's pretty nice.
Like the 3DS, this also features one save state, which is pretty nice.
Another big feature of the WiiU VC is that it will have a Miiverse community for every game. So, people can post comments, screenshots, and etc. Iwata has said that he would like to see a Balloon Trip score that would surprise them......challenge accepted!
The last big feature, is that the VC games can be played on the gamepad itself.
So, if you own a WiiU, and want to try the new VC service for only 30 cents, this would be a good buy. It is 35MB, and is a quick download.
