What Wii games would you want to carry over to your new WiiU? I would probably want:

Donkey Kong Returns

Sin and Punishment

Super Mario Bros

maybe the new Zelda too, but i have a sneaking suspicion that there will be a WiiU version of that game anyway.

There is nothing wrong with playing a game from the gen before. I would rather be able to have one system that plays everything. Wii is basically that. It has like 10 consoles in 1 with the VC. So being able to play Wii games on Wii U isnt bad at all. And if you only have 2 wii games, thats pretty sad. i have over 70, including Wiiware/VC and disc. I only have 8 for my PS3(i trade anything with sequels and no replay). I wont be getting rid of my Wii, but i have a hard time keeping my PS3 since i only got it becuase we all know Wii doesnt get KZ3 or UC2. But if Wii U is going to get something like BF3 or Batman AC, to go with Mario and Zelda, why have 2 consoles?

The essential for me would be

-Super Mario Galaxy 2

-Super Mario Galaxy

-Punch-Out!!

-Donkey Kong Country Returns

-New Super Mario Bros. Wii

-Metroid Prime Trilogy

-Metroid Other M

-Sin and Punishment Star Successor

I consider all of these 9.0+ level games

If don't want to use it, don't use it. I don't see why people wouldn't want it though.

Hmm. That's a toughie - and my list would certainly be smaller than the other consoles (well, maybe not the PS3).

No More Heroes is out immediately because it's getting a better PS3 revision. Same with House of the Dead Overkill.

  • Boom Blox Bash Party (my favourite of the 'this could have been done only on the Wii' games)
  • Mario Galaxy
  • Mario Galaxy 2
  • Monster Hunter Tri
  • Little King Story (even though it should have had classic controller support)
  • Zack & Wiki
  • Sin & Punishment 2
  • Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition

Mario Kart is out because there will be a better (and better looking) version on the WiiU, most likely. NSMB is a tempting addition, but it really depends on my mood because the game is way too easy and the bosses are terrible.

And I feel a bit weird adding RE4 on there, but it is the definitive version at this point.

As long as the Wii U has Monster Hunter and a good bunch of RPGs, I'll be happy. That said...my Wii collection is seriously lacking.

I'd like to carry over the entire Wii library over to the WiiU, no reason to leave any out.

^Pretty much. That way if someone missed a game, they can always go back and play it.

That kind of defeats the purpose of crafting an 'Essentiall Wii Collection,' though. Mediocre to decent games are not worth carrying over. You want the absolute cream.

Well seeing as how we didn't get a Wii.. (seems it was the smarter choice to wait for us)

There are quite a few Wii games I will want to play on our WiiU.

Mainly the good Mario games,

Zelda games.. like Skyward Sword.

Other games like The Last Story and XenoBlade if they ever come to The States.

The cream is whatever someone wants to play, not what some arbitrary body decides what people should play.

Agreed..

WiiU to be backwards compatible with the Wii, isn't much of a request. I mean seriously it uses the same controllers for the most part. (other than the 1 controller)

I can almost gauruntee that there will be Wii games (that I haven't played, actually I haven't played any) That wouldn't be part of that that collection, if some "arbitrary body" decided what would be, and not be in it. That I would love to play!

Mario galaxy 1&2

SMB:Wii

Klonoa

A boy and his blob

Epic Mickey

Rabbids go home

Sonic colors

Little king's story (It's not a platformer but it is an essential!:P)

LOL, yeah I can see how it seems like I implied that there were, but its not what I mean't to do.

What I mean't was all the Mario games that (we want) to play.. And yeah there are a few that are kinda meh, but not really bad ones.I myself am not really big on the Mario Party games.

What I really want its Mario 64 (vc), Super Mario RPG (VC) and maybe Paper Mario.

Galaxies 1 and 2.

New SMash Bros, Karts, New Super Mario Bros. Hopefully new Luigi's Mansion.

We are about to buy the original for the GC soon.
