Hey before I press the trigger, are the Wii U classic controllers worth it if I like to play lots of SNES era games? Also, does anyone know if those Japanese Club Nintendo SNES/Wii controllers work for the Wii U?

Also, does anyone know if those Japanese Club Nintendo SNES/Wii controllers work for the Wii U? They're actually called the Wii U Pro controllers, and yes they work rather well with SNES games. Yes, Japanese Wiimotes and controllers will work provided the software supports it (i.e. Virtual Console, original Wii games).

Then pick up classic controller pros for another $20 and that cost less than the Pro U controller, and you'll be using the wiimotes more than the pro u controller, which is also tits.

GATOS Y VATOS posted:Hey I'm going to take the plunge and get a Wii U finally. I turned on my Wii for the first time in around 4 years and found that it retained all my old games that I bought on the Wii Shop. Now with the SD card transfer as shown in the OP, will this transfer all my games etc and I'll be able to access them on the Wii U with no problems? I don't know if I have to do anything else. If you previously homebrewed your Wii, that stuff won't be moved over. However, you can use that stuff to restore a full backup of your Wii's contents and thus restore your titles after you complete the transfer. Just don't connect to the Wii shop channel after restoring them, since I believe it validates your games and will notice they've been transferred and delete them.

Updating the Wii U so I can start transferring data tonight. I'm honestly surprised that there is no Wii remote included. No problem since I have my old ones, but eh.

When your Gamepad costs over $100 to manufacture you're not going to just toss in a Wii Remote and increase your package costs even more. Besides, they tend to give them out in a lot of games (Mario Sonic Olympics, Wii Party U, etc.)

Oh yeah, I'm not disappointed at all, it just never occurred to me that they wouldn't include one. I have more than a few anyway, so it's no big deal.

Finally beat Champion's Road. I had to cheese my way with having an idle 2nd player, but now at least I can say I beat it. Now on to that loving mystery house...

Champion Road owns, I did a semi-speedrun type thing of it with Toad. I think keeping your momentum is really the key to getting through it smoothly, same goes for the final levels in SMG2 and 3D Land

I did my run as Peach, I don't think I could do it as Toad

Astro7x posted:Now on to that loving mystery house... I'm assuming there isn't a checkpoint in the middle? My brother and I can't seem to get the 15th star because the timer always runs out right when we're next to it. Can't imagine having to replay them all over again when you just have to get a couple near the end.

Finally picked up NES Remix. This is definitely in my wheelhouse. So far the only games that have been frustrating me are Ice Climber due to the sometimes unresponsive jump and Mario Bros. due to being a really terrible game. Everything else I'd consider a fair challenge. Link Donkey Kong is really hard. I can get to the final platform but the timing to wait for DK to drop a barrel down is too much for me. I've been having the most fun with the Balloon Fight and Excitebike challenges, while I've so far found Zelda games to be underwhelming.

When there are two of the same color next to each other as a step, jump at the very last moment before it disappears. Then float, and your float will finish right as it reappears on the next step. And no checkpoint, that is the challenge of the mystery house  It looks so easy with 4 players, but my wife is no help to me....

Can you change the size of the icons in the main menu like you can on the 3DS? I can't for the life of me find the option, but I want to have more than 15 icons on my screen.

Yeah, same. And folders. Preferably with more indication of what's in it than just one letter like on the 3DS. Hilariously stupid, that.

Is there any reward or additional content for rainbow ranking everything in NES Remix? I rainbow ranked all the main games, but the remixes are just too hard. I think I have like two stamps left, and I've three starred everything except the last bonus level. I'm probably going to want to do that one, but after that I think I'm done unless there's one last level to unlock. Edit: Seconding folders. I am in desperate need, I have only one empty page left. Luckily for now Nintendo decided to stop releasing good virtual console games. greatn fucked around with this message at 14:29 on Jan 2, 2014 |

I'm surprised Shenmue 1&2 haven't gotten an HD rerelease, if only to try and gauge interest on actually making Shenmue 3. And if Capcom had any of their creative talent left, they probably would've made Power Stone 3 long ago. They should license it out to Platinum and have them make it  .deafmute posted:The wailing and gnashing of teeth would be hilarious. If Sega is tight on money someone should start a kickstarter to make this happen If Keiji Inafune can kickstart a new game, then there's no reason Yu Suzuki can't either  .

Neddy Seagoon posted:I'm surprised Shenmue 1&2 haven't gotten an HD rerelease, if only to try and gauge interest on actually making Shenmue 3. The most genius thing Sega did after Dreamcast went tits up (in my biased eyes) was release a bunch of Dreamcast games for the Gamecube. Heck I'll be honest, I originally purchased All-Stars Transformed just because Vyse was in it and I thought in some stupid way that buying that game would assist the possibility of another Skies of Arcadia title. I probably never would have played it otherwise. Now Skies of Arcadia is one of the most requested games for Sega to release for download services, along with Shenmue. I don't believe that would have been the case had they never did the Gamecube port. If they do an HD remake it just has to come to Wii U. IT HAS TO  But yeah, Shenmue 3 for Wii U would be hilarious. Actually, Nintendo should just enter a big exclusivity deal with Sega and fund a bunch of games Sega doesn't want to take the risk on. Especially niché Atlus titles.

Has Nintendo publicly said anything about a Mario Sunshine remake? With Nintendo's track record, such a project seems like an inevitability. I guess it's just a question of whether or not we'd get it during the Wii U's lifespan. I actually do have a GameCube that's still all hooked up (with component cables!), so theoretically I could track down the original game, but I hesitate to spend ~$40 for a used copy of questionable quality.

Dr. Luigi ($14.99) and CastleStorm ($9.99) are now up on the eShop along with Super Punch Out! and Mega Man X2 ($7.99). I guess the controls are better in the Wii U version of CastleStorm than other versions? Just something I caught a few people saying. Don't know if accurate.
