It's cheese, and the total delay is actually 10 months. Was meant to be a launch title, but a lot of things were meant to be launch titles.

Excellent! Thanks for finding that.

the game is not bad at all the system games are awful but it's amazing on pc. REally who does not play a game just because critics say they suck. All my life i had games that people said was just awful that i really enjoyed. do you really think games like halo and cod should get 8's and 9's all the time? NO they get that because thye get paid and free stuff from those game companys to give them high scores

you do know games ship a month before release right? most stores have the stuff in their warehouse two weeks before game is out. at this point it would be hard for places like gamestop and what not to get it to their warehouse and to stores in two weeks

Well, the Wii U version has dropped off the face of the Earth since October or so. So who's to say that it wasn't already silently cancelled?

It would be hilarious if it were the definitive, bug-free version

Tried doing a little research online but had no luck. Does anyone know if I can download Club Nintendo Rewards on the wii u? Meaning, I have enough coins to download the Paper Mario game on the Club Nintendo Site. It says it's compatible with the wii. Am I able to purchase this reward with my saves coins and download it on the wii u? Is the wii u set up for this yet?

I just got a Wii U for XMas and I'm still hazy about what you can and can't do with it. I need to transfer all my games from the wii to the wii u. I'm guessing that's possible. I just thought the virtual console wasn't available for the Wii U yet so therefore I thought the wii U would need an update in order to play those things? I dunno.

Wish there was some solid text and info on this topic.

Yeah, with the way there's almost no new information on the WiiU version and how terrible the reviews have been for 360/PS3 (which will likely lead to low sales) I wouldn't be surprised at all if they just end up cancelling it. In fact, with those 2 factors, I'd be more surprised at this point if the game comes out for WiiU than if it got cancelled. Too bad, I was really looking forward to motion tracker on the gamepad.

You can play Paper Mario on the Wii portion of your WiiU. So you'll launch the Wii from the WiiU dashboard and then be able to anything you could do with a regular Wii (except GameCube stuff of course).

Does that make sense?

Nintnedo Direct tomorrow
- Wii U and 3DS stuff, NOA and NOE (probably no new Nintendo games since it lacks NCL)
- Expect a 3rd party game announcement

Criterion put stuff out about the Wii U version of NFSMW, and it sounds very enticing.

It will be interesting to see if people use this game as a benchmark for the Wii U, since he's saying that they are using the PC textures for it.

For all the talk of using the gamepad as an assist to the racing player, I wonder if they thought about using it for an opposing player, directing cops, setting up obstacles, etc. That could make for an interesting experience.

Yeah there's a little note on the product page on club nintendo that links to here:

There's also a full system transfer guide here:

It looks like Ubisoft's Rayman Legends delay has gotten the attention of Forbes...

I so hope they reverse this stupid decision. Hopefully in time for it to get a ton of good press for the Nintendo Direct Event tomorrow...

Good point. Gamestop could be heroes to Wii-U gamers, but it would probably kill their relationship with Ubisoft.

I hope they release some info on the gba games, I'm guessing that will not be until E3 since they are slowly trickling out the wii u virtual console games.

The ambassador games were a good selection, I would just like metriod zero mission since it is a excellent remake of the first game and the minish cap. And of course any gba gems that went under the radar.

I was also listening to the 8-4 podcast and they talked about rando of blood as an example of a game on the vritual console that would have to be re-licensed by Nintendo through konami who really has not shared it's wii u virtual console plans yet. Made me quite sad . Playing balloon fight on the gamepad was a really nice experience.

It would be cool if the gamepad was more like a iPad in the sense that it could use remote play and connect to wii u over the internet and play off-screen enabled games and virtual console stuff. Also have a better reach antenna wise to communicate with the console itself. I may be too optimistic since Nintendo has not worked out it's online kinks but Nintendo can do some pretty neat things with just the gamepad since it is pretty much a "game-tablet". It would be cool if they could also add Spotify or Rdio to stream music while playing games too.

To add a little to what the others said, I would transfer your Wii content to your Wii U first, before downloading Paper Mario. I'm not sure what happens if you do it before, but when you do the transfer, your old Wii shop account gets transferred to the Wii U. You might as well do that first before redeeming the code on your Wii U - just to be sure you have everything on the one account.

You could also probably redeem it on the Wii first, then do the trasfer of everything. But you might as well do it afterwards once you've verified the transfer worked OK (mine went flawlessly once I got the USB network adapter. I never could do much of anything over WiFi with either the Wii or Wii U).

I imagine porting from PC is a lot easier than porting from PS3/360. Considering that's how Frozenbyte did it with Trine 2 and got similar results, you have to think that might be what some developers do from now on instead of going from PS3/360. Assuming they have PC versions coughcougheacough

The gamepad really isn't anything but a controller with a screen. It has no processor, so remote play's out the window.

The OS side of things is interesting. I figure if I can watch youtube while browsing the net while a game is open it's pretty good at multitasking.

I have my wacky ideas for the netflix app where I could find out on IMDB what I know that actor from on the gamepad.

I'd be happy if the gamepad would just play in all the rooms of my tiny little house. It's pretty frustrating that my xbox and ps3 controller have better range.

The Amazon Video app does do something like this offering headshots of the cast of the show you are watching and limited filmography for each.
