Not really. It still runs in "Wii Mode" even though you don't have to use the Wii menu. I believe it does the exact same thing as when you launch a Wii disc straight from the Wii U menu, hence why save data is shared across disc and digital, and the Wii U has to basically reboot when you exit the game.

I just hope this means the Gamepad-as-a-Classic-Controller feature will also apply to Wii disc games too.

If that's the case I wonder if they would be able to apply an update that allow Wii discs to be booted up without going to Wii mode.

Feeling pretty good about selling my sealed Trilogy for an obscene amount a couple years ago. For $10 I will be happy to finally give Metroid Prime 2 a real shot.

Of course now I wish I had bought more than another $10 eShop credit yesterday. $320 won't last forever.

I will pick up digital copy for mg2 and metroid prime tri for $10 each and keep my sealed copy mg2 & Mt tin sealed as well :)

I know, but you no longer need to boot into the Wii Mode, get out your Wii Remote, insert the original disc, [SIZE=14.2857141494751px]navigate the channels, [/SIZE]and launch it to play that stuff. Now you just start the game from the Wii U menu and it does the rest for you, hence why I said they freed it from the clutches of the Wii Mode because it's a much more simple process now.
Click to expand...
sorry, I was mistaken. I thought when you selected the Wii disc from the Wii U menu it booted straight into the game... but instead it sends you to the Wii menu where you have to select the Disc channel.

 
Weren't some of the unlockables in Prime Trilogy nerfed a while back? I remember hearing that something wasn't unlockable anymore.
 
Nintendo sure knows how to disappoint a guy. I was so excited when I read the headline, only to be super deflated when I read the specifics. Not only am I really bummed about the lack of Gamepad support, but I'm less hopeful than ever that we might get HD remasters for any of these games that feature improvements and Gamepad support.

...Although now that I think about it, it would be a typical Nitnendo move to try and milk these Wii VC releases right before they announce even better versions specifically for the Wii U. I guess there is still hope!

 
botticus said:
If they did they'd be more expensive, so if you want to wait to potentially pay more, that's an option!

I'd be more than happy to pay more for a better product, especially since I'd already have to pay more to play these games since I don't have or want a wii-more/nunchuck. Would love to at least see MPT and Galaxy remastered.

 
Theoretically, the way they're doing Wii games on the eShop suggests that they should be completely fine with putting GBA games up on the 3DS eShop, even if they only run through the DS mode that people around here have suggested is the reason why they'd never do such a thing.

But that would make everyone happy...

 
Anybody else think it's weird that they skipped right over N64 and GCN and went straight to Wii?

Went ahead and bit on SMG2 for $10, and probably going to do the same for MPT. Never really interested in the former, and only played/still have the originals for the latter, but for that cheap it's worth backlogging.

Now to decide if I want to risk it and sell off my sealed copy of Pikmin 2 Wii now before it gets a VC release.

No because if what they said is true they didn't have to do any emulation and just made it so the game can launch without going into Wii mode first. The hardware compatibility was already in place.

There are issues with the special Super FX chip in Yoshi's Island that prevents it from coming to the Virtual Console, so the GBA version is the next best thing.
Click to expand...
Is it decent? I think resolution is fairly close between GBA and SNES, but also heard they added annoying Yoshi noises everywhere.

Regardless, definitely getting Metrod, might get SMG2.

 
Kinda tempted on Super Mario 3D World for $45, but knowing it was on sale for $40 on the eShop a few months ago makes me feel bad for paying more. Nintendo games are so wacky with sales and price drops it's hard to say the next time it'll go on sale for an even $40. Oh well, backlogs big enough it probably behooves me to wait.

They muted baby mario's cries on the GBA version. Honestly, it's better than the original.

 
Good gravy I'm glad I stacked up on Nintendo credit. Steel whatever sale, BCEF, and now this WiiU sale.

I would be all over SMG2 on WiiU except for the stupid issue on my WiiU where Wii mode is shrunk to non-widescreen but looks like it is meant to be stretched to widescreen.

Pushmo is as always an easy recommendation but I bet most of you never beat the 3DS one and probably don't need to buy them all.

Punchout and MPT are so good that I might get them ANYWAY despite the Wii mode issue.

Nintendo just continues to take my money.  Need to replace my blue Wiimotes with these to go with Luigi and Peach.

Wow, Mario Galaxy 2 is cheap. Excellent deal for people who don't own it. I'm debating purchasing Pushmo World, but I'd hate to buy now if it drops to 50% off at some point.

 
Wow, in one fell swoop Nintendo knocks off three titles from the Wants in my Trade list  :D/

Wished I'd got more from that $5 off $20 eShop cards sale last week at Fry's. Hopefully this announcement spurns more eShop cards sales soon. Plus, I just hooked up a spare 250GB hard drive to my WiiU recently, so keep'em coming Big N!!

 
how about this? really hope this becomes a thing, even though i don't know if i have anyone left to give away my wii remotes to make way for even newer ones

You should be able to adjust this in your Wii settings. I had the same issue, but was able to resolve it (I don't remember exactly how, unfortunately, but I did)

But Nintendo, I can't give no more!

Seriously Nintendo is backwards that they skipped the holidays and are now going to destroy us for the next three months. The number and quality of the titles coming out is like everyone else's Sept-Dec.

So the super indie connection sale is buy one get one 60% off.
Could I buy Swords and Soldiers for $3 and then log off and in another transaction get Teslagrad ($14.99) for 60% off.
 
I think you can get all of them for 60% off.

Of course the one I want to get is Teslagrad and for some reason that's not even 50% off.

 
The website says "fans who own any of the participating games, or purchase one at full price during the promotion, will get 60% off the other participating titles."
 
Is Teslagrad $6 for anyone?  It's showing $8 for me, and on the website, which is odd.

Oh, nevermind.  Shows $6 once I walk through the purchase process.

I never said they were stupid, I think it's quite brilliant. Realistically Nintendo can't compete during the holidays right now. Not because of quality of the games but because things like Splatoon would sell a dozen copies and be forgotten about next to the marketing behemoths that live in that space. So they give us only a couple big steady titles like Smash and Pokemon with a couple others and call it a day.

Then after everyone's moved on from all of that stuff and the holidays are over they drop a massive hype bomb when nothing else is going on. A lot of it was really a surprise since we were all focused on the N3DS. So they kick off three months of craziness with the new system, their most anticipated games dropping with it months before anyone was really expecting, at least three first party titles each month and confirmed third party releases as well, new Amiibos, and bits of other excitement. How can you like Nintendo stuff and not be hyped?

This is the approach most of us wanted Nintendo to take with the holidays last year and were confused and disappointed when they only had like four games for the three biggest retail months of the year. It makes much more sense why they took that approach though and hopefully this gambit pays off for them. The headliner stuff people would be picking up anyway but now with less competing for their attention maybe they'll be willing to give a Code Name STEAM or Splatoon a chance that they wouldn't have otherwise. Then there's six months for word of mouth to build up around these new IPs and generate holiday sales. I doubt either will be FEA but I think Nintendo's setting those two in particular up to follow a similar arc. Unknown IPs (FE had a few games here that didn't sell well and Awakening was supposed to be the end of the series), they're probably expecting excellent reviews the way they've featured both, and hopefully the people that pick it up will cause a similar buzz from word of mouth.

Really think this is one of Nintendo's shrewdest approaches to the market this generation and would be down for them continuing this approach and having great Nintendo games to play over all the normally dead gaming months. Maybe we'll even get lucky and see some B1GX or similar promos to help get some of the new IPs into people's hands. At the least let's hope we get another free game when you register a system promo.

TLDR: I think Nintendo is taking a brilliant approach with the next few months.
