Also drat Nintendo for starting the Wii Game downloads. I don't actually have any of the 3 games announced and now I'm probably buying them all on release, due to the half off thing (Especially Metroid Prime Trilogy!)

Is DKCR good? I'll get the other two things but I'm not really sure about that one.

Wait I'm not sure I understand this downloadable Wii game stuff (because I'm at work and can't watch the Direct).

Let's assume (correctly) that the only controller I own is the gamepad. Can I play these Wii games just fine? Could I play them using the screen on the gamepad?

not only will you be forced to use waggle but youll also be ignoring the non waggle 3D version so the Wii version of DKCR is completely worthless. I personally never had problems with the waggle but people are generally spazzoids who hate it

Not sure, they said SOME games that you were able to use the classic controller for will be able to and then didn't elaborate further.

DKCR is really loving good. Be warned that it's aimed at people who want a very difficult platformer though, it's much faster and crueler than the SNES games.

Edit: the waggle is pretty negligible (it's like Mario Galaxy's spin attack in terms of intrusiveness) and it looks and runs better than the 3DS version.

As far as I'm aware, no. Punch Out, maybe, but both Galaxy 2 and Prime Trilogy make heavy use of the Wiimote (and I don't know why you'd ever want to play the Prime games without pointer control).

Does gamepad support mean that I can use it as a classic controller for Wii VC?

It's looking like the answer is probably no, that the Gamepad will only work as a controller for games that used the Classic (which none of this first wave do). We'll have to see what the eShop says when SMG2 goes up.

On the flip side the Wii version runs at a higher resolution and at 60 FPS.

The correct answer is to play the Wii version with the Classic Controller patch.

Not any of these games. You'll just have to wait til something with Classic Controller support gets announced.

I hope everyone who plays this if it comes out on Wii U at least makes an attempt to play while sitting on the toilet while saving the game.

I'm pumped about the half price Wii VC titles for $10 instead of $20. I already have Galaxy 2, but I'll buy it just to have it digitally because the game is that good.

Nah, I am, too, especially since I never had Prime Trilogy and soon I'll be able to get it for a shockingly low price. I dunno if the games will be getting a proper bump to 720p, but that would be great if they did.

I think the Wii U upscales Wii games to at least 720p, if not 1080p, but you're still dealing with the original textures designed for a 480p output. However, this doesn't matter in Super Mario Galaxy 2 nor Metroid Prime Trilogy's case, because both look great when played in Wii mode. They're still obviously previous-gen-looking, but it's hardly a complaint.

I could be mistaken, but I believe that it's only the download versions that can use the gamepad and that it doesn't apply to disc games.

I don't think it matters if it's announced or not, sounds like we can just play whatever physical discs compatible with CC on the gamepad now. of course if this isn't true then it would be the worst goddamn thing imaginable since I imagine it would take only a patch to make the gamepad poo poo work.

There are some games that never had Classic controller support but probably should have, and it would be nuts to re-release those without supporting the Gamepad and Pro. Like NSMBWii and DKCR.

Ah, thanks for the clarification guys. Shame about the gamepad though. I can understand it would be waaaaaaaaaay too much work to convert motion controls to gamepad controls, but still I'm stubborn and really don't want to buy any wiimotes or anything.

No, that is explicitly not what they announced. The use of the pad as the CC is explicitly stated to be for these and future new digital versions only.

It's up in Europe at least. It DOES allow off-TV play, but Wiimote+Nunchuk is required. So like the current Wii mode.
