eShop. I got the news from Nintendo Direct this AM then from IGN. I wish N had a webstore. I havent been down to the cave yet to fire up any game systems. But I wanna know how much!Is this on the eShop? I'm not at home so I can't check on my Wii U but I'm not seeing anything on the website.
Detroit, what! *pounds chest*All games will be half price the first week! Next week is Punch Out then Detroit Prime TRILOGY!
Ugh! Deal breaker on these games. If I can control the game with the pro controller I would be all over these, but the last thing I want to do is use a wiimote and nunchuck to play anything. $9.99 is a great deal for these though.Detroit, what! *pounds chest*
Regarding SMG2, you have to use the Wii remote for... pointing at shit and shaking.
You sure about that? I thought one of the main complaints about that game was that you had the required waggle to roll, and the classic controller wasn't supported.Nintendo announces Wii games for download through Wii U eshop and states that games with classic controller support will have Wii U gamepad support.......then proceeds to release the first three games with no Wii U gamepad controller support.
Brilliant!! At least, NoE released Donkey Kong Country Returns within the first month. That has classic controller support, ie gamepad controls.
Detroit Prime!All games will be half price the first week! Next week is Punch Out then Detroit Prime TRILOGY!
Yeah, you are. Some of it is more of the same while other bits are same but different, if that makes sense. You don't have to play one before the other really, though. I would say go for SMG2 now, then grab Galaxy 1 when/if they stick that on here, too. It's weird they went with 2 instead of 1, but maybe they figured more people had 1 on disc and skipped 2 in the waning days of the Wii.I know this probably isn't the best place to ask,but am I missing out on anything if I skip galaxy and go straight to Galaxy2. And I'm not talking about story stuff, just good gameplay.
Yep. That's the reason I never bought the game.You sure about that? I thought one of the main complaints about that game was that you had the required waggle to roll, and the classic controller wasn't supported.
Suddenly interested in Punch-Out... Didn't realize I could play it without the waggle business.Yup. DKCR needs motion control. On the other hand, Punch-Out!! allowed a side Wiimote control scheme. I wonder if that will be game pad supported.
Yeah I plan on getting Punch-Out. I wish Mario Galaxy 2 didn't require the wiimote and nunchuck. I have a wiimote, but no nunchuck and I don't plan on buying one as I hate that control scheme with a passion, it's so cumbersome. I wish Nintendo would re-release more Wii games on the eShop, but support the pro controller for those of us who want to play these games and not have to use the wii controls.Suddenly interested in Punch-Out...

If you have the SMG2 save file on the Wii U Wii Mode, it should work.I've got Super Mario Galaxy 2 saves on my Wii which I can transfer to Wii U using an SD card. Does anyone know if they work with this version of Galaxy 2?
Thanks for the info. Having just tested it, I can confirm that the save files are 100% compatible and shared between the Wii U Super Mario Galaxy 2 (launched from the main Wii U menu) and the disc version of Super Mario Galaxy 2 (launched from the Wii Menu inside a Wii U). I created a new file using the Wii U SMG2 icon and collected a few stars. Then I quit out and inserted the physical SMG2 disc and continued the file. After collecting a few more stars, I quit the Wii Menu and ejected the disc. I restarted the Wii U SMG2 and all progress was shared correctly. Good job, Nintendo, you did something correctly.If you have the SMG2 save file on the Wii U Wii Mode, it should work.
I ripped all my games to run off a HDD on my Wii, and Prime Trilogy took up every inch of a double-pressee DVD, IE ~7GB. Get that external storage ready!I wonder how many gigs Prime Trilogy will be. I am running out of internal space fast.
I hope this is the case too. It doesn't support the classic controller pro, BUT you can play it with just the wii remote, so it seems like you should be able to play it on the gamepad only since the nunchuck is not needed.If you can play punch out with the pro controller then I will get that on day one also.
NES VC games are like this, too, but they require the remote. I know that might be because they want us to buy the Wii U versions instead, though! Here's to hoping for Wii games we can just play with the dang gamepad or pro controller.I hope this is the case too.

This. Nintendo can (and will) make a fortune just by re-releasing these titles. And for stuff like MPT/Kirby, I appreciate it as a CAG because it is significantly undercutting the current used/marketplace prices. Keep these titles rolling.It'll be a hard swallow for me at $20, but at $10, instant purchases.
They don't. You can use the Wiimote like a NES controller though.Can anyone confirm if the Pro controller or the touch screen controller work with Punch Out?
