Has it already been a month since F-Zero was released? I'm still playing Mario U and Sonic Racing on and off but yea, I would mind a new game for Wii U at some point in the future.

I think the next virtual console release would be the 21st. Isn't the actual service going up this month or next though? And could someone try something with Runner 2? I'm wondering if maybe the costumes are causing the crash ion exiting. I just realized it has crashed every time since I started wearing the glove costume.

Isn't the whole point of sales to draw people in to simultaneously also buy other products? At least retail sales. I mean, if I went to grab the .30 Punch Out! and saw some other titles I wanted were now available at their normal price, I'd certainly grab them.

The titles released so far don't even have instruction manuals included. I'm not sure they're completely finished yet.

Actually, in this case I think it's to test out the response to a lower price for the games and to build some brand awareness.

When it's available on WiiU, of you already own the Wii version and have system transferred it over to your WiiU, you still have to buy the WiiU version, but it is discounted to just $1 instead of full price. I think that's for NES games, SNES might be a couple bucks more.

There is absolutely no reason for SNES games to cost more than NES games except that people perceive them as more valuable and Nintendo very cleverly realized that they can milk that for another 50% increase on an already insulting fee.

Note when new vc drops it isn't going to have the whole library. The games are going to be released piecemeal. You'll probably have half a dozen to start and one or two a week.

The price of goods is not set by how difficult they are to produce, but by how much customers are willing to pay. The price to produce only sets a FLOOR on the possible price, and if you owned a business you'd do the same drat thing.

Any Miis you transfer have to go with all your other Wii stuff, and the system transfer is the only way to get your Miis to the Wii OS on Wii U. The only way to transfer Miis to the Wii U OS is to beam them from the Wii to a 3DS and then to the Wii U.

AngryCaterpillar posted:Any Miis you transfer have to go with all your other Wii stuff, and the system transfer is the only way to get your Miis to the Wii OS on Wii U. Wait, what? So the Wii U, which bases many of its features and interactions on Miis, doesn't easily import them from your Wii? So if I don't have a 3DS (which I don't), I can't put them on to the Wii U. I'd have to make them from scratch.

This keeps coming up, but the Wii U VC games will be released on a gradual schedule just like the original VC, and it's highly unlikely that anyone with a large collection will be able to to a 1:1 upgrade of everything. There may be entire platforms that don't get represented on the Wii U VC.

Miis import automatically with a system transfer. I think you're reading him wrong. I hope they do get TG16 games though, I really wanna play those two Zelda ripoff games with diagonal movement on the Gamepad. Those were so fun. greatn fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Mar 7, 2013 |

The download prices for retail games are pretty awful though. ZombiU is like £55 I think. PS3 has the same problem. (Maybe 360 too, I don't have one)

KimT posted:The download prices for retail games are pretty awful though. ZombiU is like £55 I think. To be fair, Ubi has already done a pretty good sale. Right after they announced the Rayman Legends delay, they cut the price of all of their games on the shop by 30% for a week or two, so you could get it for $40, which was better than most retail prices (and about even online, ie Amazon). The game's only 4 months old and considered to basically be the best non-Nintendo game on the system right now, I don't think it's reasonable to expect it to be dirt cheap yet.

I think that's for NES games, SNES might be a couple bucks more. You don't have to buy the Wii U version if you don't want. The Wii version should still be playable after the Wii U version is released. This is based on what's currently going on, with me owning the VC version of F-Zero and still being able to play it after buying the Wii U version. That being said, when they do start that discounted upgrade offer, I wonder if folks'll still have access to the Wii version if they upgrade to the Wii U version.
