Will QA for food.
According to the Nintendo Direct all those titles shown will be available at launch, yes? That would be quite excellent and I hope the roll out is very quick.
 
By far the worst news of the Nintendo Direct presentation. Now we know that they're planning to trickle out each game individually again. Where are the Zelda games?

At this point, Nintendo needs to get ANYTHING out there. I would just open the entire library instead of this trickle bullshit.

Wonder if Capcom is planning on releasing all 6 Mega Man games on the Wii U VC like they're doing with the 3DS.

Super Metroid, Earthbound and Super Mario World for me.

Sad to say but I never completed Super Mario World as a kid, looking quite forward to it.

When does VC come out? And thank god for SMW goddamn

Next week along side the April update.

N64 vc was never confirmed so I dont know when you going to get that one

They confirmed it in the direct if I recall correctly.

What are the prices of SNES games?

$8 for SNES and $5 for NES. If you transferred your Wii VC games to your Wii U, you can rebuy the Wii U versions at a discounted price. ($1.50 for SNES and $1 for NES)

I've got Super Mario World on Wii, but will probably buy it again on Wii U. Don't particularly want to lose all my Wii saves for games with Gamecube controller compatibility.

It's like they know I don't want to buy things from them digitally so they make it even easier for me...
 
Wait, the Wii U didn't even have a VC at launch? And now several months later, this is their lineup?


bwahahahahahahaha nope.jpg

Where's Metroid? :(

Nintendo!!! I want me some Samus!

Super Metroid is coming in May for 30 cents. If you're referring to the original Metroid, they haven't said a thing about it. Although it's inevitable that they'll release it since it's already available the Wii and 3DS's VC.

Yesssss!
Iwata said they want to get N64 and GBA games on the Wii U VC in the direct today.
And what? Forreal? I hope we dont have to wait long

Are they serious with this shit? NES and SNES only, tiny selection. Once I buy Super Metroid you can fuck right off Nintendo. It's like they want the Wii U to be a laughing stock at this point.

They have the entirety of Wii's VC playable as it was. This is native VC with enhancements like Miiverse, off-TV play, manual save states and controller remapping.
 
If it can play Wii games and has a Wii mode, why don't they just release everything that was available on the Wii VC?

EDIT: AH! My question was answered above.

Earthbound for me.

So we basically have to go through the crap of waiting for weekly releases all over again?

No since the Wii BC on the Wii U has the Wii Shop which has the VC games.

The native eShop VC games has enhancements, like Off TV play, etc.

Sigh. I really need to quit rebuying these games all the time.

Metroids, Marios, DKs bought of course. I just rebuy games from these series time and time again.

The price isn't the worst part, the worst part is the games are not all cross compatible between Wii-3DS-Wii U. Sure, you can "transfer" your Wii games to the Wii-U, but good fucking luck getting a proper account system to be able to take it all on the go with your 3DS.
 

Stumpokapow

listen to the mad man
I really hope they approach this as 'let's rapidly convert as many of the VC titles as possible for native playability" rather than "Let's start re-releasing from scratch, one or two at a time, so your favourite game might not be native until 2018 and maybe at all because we didn't sign follow-up contracts with 3rd parties so lol Hudson lol"
