Nintendo has promised frequent updates to the Virtual Console titles available on the Wii Shop, and the updates have already begun. As of today, two TurboGrafx 16 games have been added to the shop.
Bonk's Adventure is an action platforming game starring a caveman who attacks enemies with his huge, rock-solid head. He can also use his teeth to climb walls. Bonk can be played on the Virtual Console with the Wii Remote, Classic Controller, or GameCube controller.
Bomberman '93 is an action/puzzle game starring the now legendary Bomberman character. There are 48 single-player stages, plus the famous multiplayer battle mode for 1-5 players. Bomberman '93 can be played with the Wii Remote, Classic Controller, or GameCube controller. For five-player games, at least one of the players must use a GameCube controller, because Wii only accepts up to four Remotes (or Classic Controllers, which connect to Remotes).
Each of these games costs 600 Wii points ($6 USD). Nintendo has recently stated that new Virtual Console titles will become available every Monday after launch, so consider this a special Tuesday update before the debut of regular "VC Mondays".

At the moment I don't think Nintendo Australia even know what the console is.

I'd love it anyone could confirm if the VC TurboGrafx games are coming to Europe and Australia.

One notable difference is present though - games from three Nintendo platforms of old and Sega's Mega Drive make up Australia's offerings, while the US, Japan and Europe will receive the addition of Hudson games from the TurboGrafx-16 (or PC Engine), at their respective launches.
Eight games from the TG-16 were announced for Japan, while the US and Europe will each receive five. The console, developed by NEC during the 16-bit era, was never released in Australia however, and as a result, games from the platform will likely never be available for download locally.

That reasoning is completely stupid, but this is NAL so what did I expect.
Personally I'm more likely to buy a copy of Bonk's Adventure simply because I have never played it before. I don't really need a fourth copy of Super Mario 64 etc.
I assume the same fate will await other games that never made it here such as Super Marioi RPG.

We would probaly see Super Mario RPG since they own everything to do with it. Unlike the other games they won't have to renegotiate or hunt down who ever owns ithe lisence.
