Has Nintendo ever run out of Wii U refurbs before? I'm wondering when or if I can expect them to restock.

So I'm assuming that gamepad support for games that use the Classic Controller only applies to these Wii rereleases and isn't a general Wii mode change, is that right?

It's probably breaking things in DK64 but no one can tell.
I just finished a playthrough and the framerate was fine most of the time, but it makes one of the final boss phases much more difficult and one of the minigames it straight-up impossible now unless you pause buffer.

Is Donkey Kong 64 worth going through if you have never played it? I love the side scrolling Donkey Kong Games (SNES Country games and the newer ones) but never picked up DK64 when it was released. I enjoy some 3D platformers, but I don't want to waste my time if the game feels really dated by now (unlike Mario 64 or something).
Absolutely not.

Kirby game is totes adorbs but it's a loving shame that I have to stare at the gamepad the entire time. It's not just the worse resolution, it's much less colorful, too :geno:

Yup, they totally wasted such an amazing aesthetic on a game where you're having to stare at the relatively lovely gamepad screen the whole time. I tried holding out as long as I could, using just the TV and playing by feel on the gamepad but that stops being realistic pretty early on.

You're wrong because YIDS looks and sounds like rear end.

He also told Sakurai that if he didn't want to make the next smash bros for the Wii, they would just release Melee Online or something, which was absolutely the right call imho

I have to get this awful story off my chest: I wanted to support third parties on the Wii U so much that when Splinter Cell came out I traded in my copy of Pikmin 3 to help pay for it. I regret that decision every day.

I did ultimately trade Splinter Cell in for Wonderful 101, so everything sort of resolved itself.

If you can find a copy of excitetrucks, it's pretty great. There's also excitebots, the sequel, but the only reason to get that over excitetrucks is the online, and I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and say it's deader than dead.

Apparently the emulation for the ambassador games is trash, which is probably why they never released them. I really enjoy GBA games on the GamePad, which is the biggest surprise I've gotten out of the Wii U.

It was trash, but one would hope/assume that if they could get a barely passable GBA emulator running on the regular 3DS then they could probably get a more fully featured one on the New 3DS with its greater processing power. It'd certainly be a way of adding value to the system if Nintendo has no intention of making any more exclusives for it.
