I thought VC games ported to the WiiU during a transfer? Is this talking about a further upgrade? If so, what are we buying for that extra cost? It sure as fuck better not be just the ability to play them on the gamepad because that should be native functionality of the platform... you know, just like online remote multiplayer should have been because NEW emulators have been doing that for over a decade...

I had been regretting purchasing a WiiU.
But now, after WW HD...
Not to mention a Yoshi game by the Kirby's Epic Yarn team? TAKE ALL MY RUPEES, NINTENDO!

Fucking amazing. Always knew this was going to come eventually just due to the fact that the Tingle Tuner + GamePad made so much sense (and being the only Zelda console release not re-released like OoT has been 15 times).
If I didn't own a Wii U, I would buy it for this game alone.
Next: Please re-release Luigi's Mansion and Mario Sunshine. I really loved Nintendo's GameCube. I'd take Double-Dash over Mario Kart U anyday.

Yes, it's one dollar. But for people who bought a lot of VC titles and don't want to bother with the 5 minute "Load up Wii menu" wait times, that's horseshit, I'm sorry. It's not a matter of being able to afford it. It's a matter of "How many times are you going to give Malibu Stacy a new hat?"

If they come out with Rogue Squadron or anything great from the SW universe, I'm buying a Wii U for my son pronto.

I bought the ones I want to play. So to upgrade them we're talking $30-$50 in upgrade fees, for save states and the ability to play them on the Gamepad? Something that shitty portable emulators have been doing for years?

I'd rather buy one that is going to work perfectly on my Wii U and on the GamePad.

$1-$1.50 per title is a shitty thing. I also have 3-4 pages of VC titles on my Wii, not all of them are NES or SNES, but easily half.
I'd be happy paying a one-time upgrade fee of $10 for my entire library. But per title is a cash grab. Save state is not an upgrade, it was already on the Wii.
Anyway, if and when I ever buy a WiiU, I'll migrate all my VC titles. Then I'll look at the benefits of paying the additional fee for the games I really want to play frequently.

I guess to me it would be like paying for upgrades from an iPhone 4 app to an iPhone 5 app. New features, better resolution yes... but I shouldn't have to give you another fee.

Sure, going from iPhone to iPad... I get that. That's not an issue to me. The comparison I'm making is going from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5. New resolution, new hardware, etc. But the apps you bought on the 4 don't charge you a fee when they add programming to them to make them work on the 5.

Chuck, I guess we should just be happy are older purchases are honored at all. They didn't have to do that and I totally didn't expect it, even from the beginning of the Wii knowing there was no unified online Nintendo ID.

I really have no idea as I haven't even turned on the Wii in a long time. I should probably just move everything over and box it up.
Isn't the trilogy worth a decent amount of money? That'll drop the value of my unopened copy!

I love that we're in this new console gen, and the best games (Mario U, Rayman, Yoshi) are 2D games or old games re-done in HD (ZeldaWW).

I don't mind HD-ified remakes to pad out the schedule, as long as they don't interfere with new games and true sequels.
I have the Nyko one which auto powers down after 1-2 hours(you can set it) which is nice. I don't use it a ton, but I've had it a few years and have yet to replace the batteries.
That being said, I paid $15 for it. $45 is ridiculous.

With the exception of that weird Twister style game in that one video above I'm pretty impressed with everything I saw. Wind Waker was the last Zelda game I really gave a shit about so I'm thrilled about that news.

So I found some old Wii Points cards... do I have to use those ASAP in the Wii store because they're not honored in the new store, or are they compatible?

I would guess they only work in the old store since our old points don't transfer to the new store. I hope Microsoft and Sony allow us to carry our balance over to their new consoles.

I really should fire up my Wii then and soak up whatever points I still have on there if a) the points don't transfer or 2) the store is shutting down.
Especially now that today's Nintendo Direct made my pants a little tight for a Wii U. I almost went to go buy one, but that's silly. It's just Balloon Fight for 30 cents right now.
