You can buy WiiWare through the Wii Shop Channel and you can use your credit card to buy points (and I think they updated it to accept eShop cards) but you can only download/run them from SD storage, not the internal or external Wii U storage.

Booo.

On the other hand, I suppose I've got a ton of old SD cards just laying around.

Thanks!

No problem! You also have to play them with Wii controllers (wiimote, nunchuk, classic controller) in case that wasn't obvious.

You lose the Gamecube Controller support which stinks, but there's really only a handful of situations where there's literally no other option for functionality. (A fun FYI is that you can play 4 Wii Remotes, and one GC controller for 5 player Bomberman '93 on the original Wii)

I haven't bought anything from the WiiWare store since I got my Wii U, but after the initial transfer, all of my old download games run off the internal memory and didn't need me to keep the SD card in.

I'll just follow this up independently: the AI is only an issue if you have no other people to play with or if you decide you want them around in a game of 2-3 humans, so that shouldn't be an issue unless you're looking for a single player game, and if you are there's so many better choices on the system.

Yeah, this. Dokapon Kingdom is only "fun" if you have friends to experience it with. By yourself, the game is designed to make you, alone, miserable, and misery loves company.

Yes, the console version. It has LAN support, so two copies of the game on two consoles with two TVs.

The arcade release is basically just a Wii U in a cabinet, anyhow.

How much of it have you played? Because this is definitely not true.

I'm at world 5 or whatever, done a few levels co-op and the rest single player. Co-op is handy for getting items but the game is clearly designed for just Kirby and the stylus controlled movement and the ability to freely move and jump renders a lot of obstacles obsolete.

Can't transfer from a system you don't have. You know how they say there are no stupid questions? They lied.

Nah, you basically save your original Wii's data on an SD card and then it loads up onto your Wii U. But afterwards you don't need the SD card in and everything runs.

In fact, you need to download an app on the Wii menu of your Wii U in order to get this to work. You don't need an SD card at all to use the internal memory for WiiWare stuff on the WiiU.

It's going to lead in to the announcement that an actual Tekken character will be appearing in Pokken. Not just their moveset or whatever but an actual human/robot/animal in the flesh just going to the mat against all the pokes.

If you have a Wii remote around and a nunchuck, Mario Galaxy 2 is a fantastic game that you can play on the Wii U now.

I'd say 3d world if you have someone to play with, and mario maker if you don't, or if you want the game to last a long time.

I had a lot of fun playing through 3d world with people, but we were done after beating it. I'm still playing a few mario maker levels every few days, and have much more time in it overall.

I have to say Mario Maker. There's a reason everybody is going apeshit over it and it's because it is a legitimately amazing game. You can literally play it forever until they turn the servers off whatever.

Their stance changed right around the time Nintendo gave them money, and then again when they realised both games were getting huge player numbers with little overlap.

They're done with it. It's not going to be in the Capcom tourney this year either.

Edit: On the Evo line up announcement stream, MrWizard mentioned they're avoiding player overlap. Reason why both Melee and Smash 4 are on the list is because the player bases are almost exclusive from each other.

It's out. Capcom is very closely linked to EVO game choice so it must have been a Capcom decision.
