So what games do you want to see the Wii U get? I want SSBM and Zelda.

Ok, that's interesting, however, call me crazy this time, but i would love to see HD reamkes instead.

On topic, F-Zero, i never had the chance to played it.

Considering I have a Gamecube and the Wii is backwards compatibile I don't think there are really any games I'd want on Wii U Wiiware since I own what I want already.:P

I feel like a bad person. I have F-Zero, but I haven't played it yet. :P

What? Gamecube discs won't work on Wii U? o.O

Now i have absolutely no reason to buy Wii U...

Nintendo will probably jump on the HD remake bandwagon

You were only going to get a wii U for gamecube games? Why not just get a $30 GC from gamestop?

Better be no more than $10 and offer full HD-upscaling.foxhound_fox

Cool maybe I can get Pikmin Cheaper.

Never played Eternal Darkness so that's good news.

Gamecube games without a Gamecube controller? Uh.. I'll pass.

I pretty much have all the Gamecube I want already. I'll be keeping my Wii whether or not I get a Wii U.

Granted, he could just buy a Wii and a component cable for that, problem solved. But I suppose if someone was hoping to skip the Wii and just buy a Wii U, it's disappointing. Also there's the issue of clutter -- if people still actively play Gamecube games, now they'll have to keep their Gamecube/Wii on the shelf next to the Wii U. But that's really just a minor inconvenience.

I don't understand why Nintendo took out BC anyway. It's not like the PS3, which had to include an entirely different CPU and GPU to play PS2 games. If the Wii U is hardware BC with the Wii, it should be hardware BC with the Gamecube... but Nintendo just arbitrarily decided not to support Gamecube discs in order to, apparently, sell Gamecube games on Wiiware. :|

I guess that's a good reason then,I forgot about the cables being $100.

i missed out on owning a cube, depends what they offer as to what i would pick up.Then again that entirely depends on if i pick up a Wii U.

Give me Pikmin 2! I can't find that game cheap for the life of me. >_>

I already have all the gamecube games I want, and there is no way I'm going to buy them again just to play with them with the crappy classic controller.

Eternal Darkness... this is the only game Im missing from my collection...

I could see this game being released as a hype for the rumored Eternal Darkness II, supposedly being Retro's secret project.

id buy eternal darkness. i might try batek kaitos ii if it were somehow released (which it wouldnt be). i like the first one a lot, but the prequel came off poorly.LoG-Sacrament

I already have a Gamecube and a Wii and tons of GC games so it wont do me any good, but it's great for those who missed out on the games.

I have a Wii so if I want Gamecube games I'll just buy them from a store.

Also Tales of Symphonia because that's really expensive now.

No thanks.

This means Wii games will be software emulated or Nintendo is just being greedy, if Wii U contains Wii architecture then Gamecube games should run fine on it. Either way its a nice feature but I still have all my favourite Gamecube games.

Didn't get it when it first came out.

The Gamecube controller is far too great to be considered less than other controllers.

Now they just need some way to plug in Gamecube contollers, or even release a new wireless Gamecube controller compatibale with the Wii U.Yo-gan
