Word. I want to buy Super Mario Bros. VC and be able to play it across all platforms that support it for one price. Wii, Wii U and 3DS + any future consoles with VC.

You have to do the transfer process first. Then you have to redownload any games that were stored on an SD Card. It takes awhile if you have a lot of games. obviously.

Really? NES and SNES titles? REALLY?
Where the fuck are the Gamecube titles? Jesus Christ.

They'll probably announce them in 2015 for a 2016 - 2017 release. Nintendo is slow as fuck with these things. :/
IF EVER.

It continues to be ridiculous that every game already on the Wii VC isn't being made available immediately.
I'd be upset about lack of GameCube games, but we'll probably get some more HD remakes so it's okay.

lol Nintendo is probably gonna do the same schedule for the vc game 
:'( oh god the times i waited for games to be uploaded.
N64 games will probably get announced at E3 and i will predict now, "We can't get them to run on the gamepad, sorry please understand"
*sees wii u games played on it*..........ahhhhh lol if they cant do that.
but my gamecube games where are they

where are theyThe large lump of Virtual Console games at the service's launch is promising.. but I wouldn't be surprised if a week later we're back to the trickle. Nintendo seems to be in love with the trickle release going by the later years of the Wii VC and now the 3DS VC.

That's exactly what I'm expecting.
In fact, I'm not even convinced right now that all the games in the OP are coming next week. I thought I heard Iwata say "these games are coming soon".
In my mind that meant these are the games coming in the first month or two of the Virtual Console release schedule.
Yeah, that trickle is gonna be in full effect again folks. God help them if we don't ever release Yoshi's Island for the U VC.

If ever is probably more accurate. I'll never understand what's going with Nintendo. They just can't seem to move beyond the NES/SNES era when it comes to VC.

And the NES emulation is bad anyway. I don't remember Balloon Fight ever looking so dark.

Or the Punch Out controls being so laggy. I swear I push over in time to dodge, get hit every time. I've used much profane language due to this issue.
Well with PS4 you wont get any of your PSN games from PS3 at all on PS4 at least WiiU lets you have Wii VC games on WiiU.

I think they've cottoned on to the competing platforms, and most gamecube titles I think will be re-released in the form of HD remakes ala Wind Waker.

They have to update every single game on the service. I don't think it's ridiculous that they haven't got hundreds of patches ready on day 1.

Input lag is almost always caused by the TV. Or have you been playing it on the GamePad?

People have noted input lag even while using the Gamepad.

The European video showed Mario's Super Picross.
Between that and Picross e it feels like rubbing salt in wounds. Hey at least America don't need to worry about will it play at the correct speed...

N64 is going to take a while to be added for some reason, so I'm holding out less hope than ever for GameCube. Why Nintendo didn't get GC on there day 1 is beyond me, it's a console seller for sure. And boy do they need features that sell the console.
Okay, that really can't be the full lineup. It doesn't make sense to start with Mega Man 3.
At least for Mario's Super Picross we won't have to worry about that either.
Yeah, their 1st party GC titles are worth getting up there asap.
With the release of Luigi's Mansion on 3DS, I really wanted to play the Gamecube one as well, but used store prices bring it to about $30 ish.
Put that on VC for $15 and I'd have picked it up already.
I...how did you...what?

When will DKC be available again?

Since they never said what reason they had to take it down: Somewhere between next week and never.

This is what I figured. *sigh* I paid for the game, too. That's what really pisses me off.

I didn't transfer my stuff over (sold the Wii before I got the Wii U). Can I still buy it in Wii mode?
Yes but it's the same price than what it will be on eShop.
No. The shop in Wii mode is the same as the one on the Wii. Since they took it down, it's gone.

My biggest gripe about Nintendo is how they handle their eShop. Jesus, just dump all the gamecube and snes games out all at once already.

Am I crazy or is the NA VC service basically identical to the EU/AUS/PAL region?

They did not take down the Wii's shop.
You can still access it via your wii mode and buy stuff.
When will DKC be available again?
As soon as Microsoft buys Nintendo.

The best news in the lineup is Earthbound. I'm so excited to finally buy it.
