Yo baby, you ever had your asshole licked by a fat man in an overcoat?
So let me get this straight. They are now releasing Wii games on the eShop, that can be played out of the WiiU menu, but to play Wii discs or your virtual console games you still need to go into Wii mode. The direct made it seem like they were taking that programing wall down to streamline the WiiU.

I think there are a bunch of people who can create trailing images. I know some who could do this as if they were just going out for a stroll.
Is it really such a big deal to hit A about three more times? Launching a downloaded Wii game still starts Wii Mode, it just auto-launches the game in addition to that.

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

These might also be slightly modified too to allow the games to recognize the Gamepad as a controller.

A new Punch-out on Wii U in the next year or two is pretty much inevitable right? Little Mac is popular in Smash Bros, the Wii version is on eShop and Nintendo own Next Level Games now.
Next Level already outright said they'd love to do another one on the 3DS.

It's not worth the effort, and it'd actually make things more complicated. The Wii Mode's a nice general thing that lets you use your old Wii disc and VC games, and, most importantly; it works 100% on anything Wii-related with no headaches. To get games working through whatever magic they're doing for the Wii eShop releases still needs at least a bugtesting pass.

I thought maybe it was just difficult to control because he was drawing lines where the screen was, so while the screen was scrolling I guess he wasn't anticipating things. But then when the screen wasn't moving he was having difficulty drawing lines to things.

I'm in the market for a good play through I don't think I'm going to get this one, it looks nice though.

Have you played Canvas Curse? It controls like that. Admittedly, Andre is kinda suckish in that video while he's otherwise pretty pro at Nintendo.

And, more importantly, the Wii was hacked inside and out, so it needs to be sandboxed to prevent using it as a springboard to a similar level of Wii U hacking.

Does Shovel Knight mirror the image on the television on the gamepad? or does it do that thing where I have to push the minus button to bring the image down to the gamepad?

It's a menu option I believe. The Game Pad normally shows the inventory for quick switching otherwise.

When you start the game, there's a little white rectangle in the bottom corner of the gamepad. If you touch that rectangle, it mirrors the TV on the gamepad. You can also go into the menu like 8-bit Miniboss said, but it's easier to just touch the rectangle.

Edit: If you don't do the TV mirroring thing, the Gamepad is your inventory (relics and what have you).

Not essential though I think it's faster then pressing start and selecting a relic.

I'd say the one time it would be useful is if you were speed running Shovel Knight and trying to shave off a couple seconds. Otherwise, the pause menu is fine. It doesn't greatly benefit the game like it does in Wind Waker.

$20 is still a fantastic bargain for a game with a lot of content. While you may have missed the sale, if you are looking for a new platformer to play, then it is definitely worth spending the extra $10 to go through the game now as opposed to whenever it might be on sale again. The game has alot of content, so $20 is still a great deal for the amount you get.

Are there any rumors if Metroid: Zero Mission will be released with the Prime Trilogy next week?

Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time
For y'all have knocked her up
I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe
I was not offended
For I knew I had to rise above it all
Or drown in my own shit
I've never played Punch Out Wii but I have many fond memories of the NES one and a copy of it on both my Wii U and 3DS so I went ahead and bought it.

Even bayonetta herself forgot about Enzo

My favorite thing about Enzo was that my first thought was that this was the obvious evolution of Harry (Joe Pesci) from Home Alone. He decides he doesn't want to be a wet or sticky bandit anymore, but then just gets his poo poo ruined around Bayo all the time anyway. That and he would constantly try to find ways to get Bayo to kill the kid.

Nintendo doesn't own NLG (or Monster Games), they can stop making Nintendo games and go back to making licensed garbage whenever they want, they're just not that stupid.
