Nintendo of America has announced via their Wii U Facebook page that the Wii U Virtual Console will be making its debut on Tuesday 23rd. Back at the Nintendo Direct, it was said that the Wii U System Update, that will see faster loading times and improved performance, will be coming this week also. It was also stated that the Virtual Console for the Wii U would be launching the day after the system update went live.
