A system software update brings a new Virtual Console service to Wii U this week, with eight titles to grace the US eShop initially.

Siliconera reports Nintendo has locked in the following games for the service's debut:

Balloon Fight
Donkey Kong Jr.
Excitebike
Ice Climber
Kirby’s Adventure
Punch-Out!!
F-Zero
Super Mario World

The system software update also adds a panoramic view; a demo will be available.
