I'd sell my gamecube copy on ebay as it is averaging around $35 and definitely would buy the HD version.  It'll cost you about $15 and is a nice upgrade.

Well you can hold B while the Wii U is starting and it will boot into Wii mode. For some reason that doesn't always work though. I also heard something about going into settings and changing HDMI display to another connection and that's lets you boot into Wii mode without a TV, but I haven't tried it.

I don't thin there will be any new game surprises or anything.  I think there's a good chance of some high profile VC games releasing before Christmas and probably some kind of digital sales.  We'll probably get a different bundle with either Mario game. I think DK would have helped but the lineup is strong enough for the rest of the year.  The other next gen systems will probably mostly sell to the faithful Playstation and XBOX people with money just like the Wii U has done early on.  I don't think either of those systems will go mainstream until the price drops a lot or a bunch of good exclusives come out.  The Wii U is barely in the affordable range by itself. I think the best things NIntendo could do now is actually advertise the system. I brought mine to work the other day and let people try it out (off tv-play only as we dont' have a TV there) and everyone was impressed, although almost all of them said " What's a Wii U?" That needs to change.

Only one person before me mentioned Bayonetta 2?  ARE YOU PEOPLE CRAZY!?!?!?

Bayonetta 2 should be UP there.  Also we can add in the rest of the games you all mentioned as being pretty good too. :P

Correct answer

We'll never see it

DJ_Lae

thats what people said about using the screen in vwii at all so excuse me if i dont agree

They didn't

The Wii could be streamed, anything can be streamed

But the streaming doesn't matter if you can't control it there too

1. Mario Kart 8
2. Super Mario 3D World
3. Wii Sports Club
4. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
5. Sonic Lost World

I have a Wii but haven't upgraded to a WiiU. yet. Are the VC games on there much more updated or do they play better or are they just the same?

1. You can use the gamepad to play
2. you wouldnt have to launch the wii menu to play
3. miiverse access for that game
4. proper off tv play 

the japanese website says it will run in native 720p... bad news imo, i thought all nintendo games will be 1080p. i hope mario kart an smash will be at least in full hd.b4il

Actually I'm pretty sure almost all have been 720p. Wind Waker is 1080p but then again it is a remaster of a Gamecube game so it shouldn't require that much processing power. I'm okay with 720p, its better than almost all current gen games.

Holding B on gamepad takes me straight to Wii mode and yes I'm on HDMI.achilles614

So it's completely useless

The game will show up on the gamepad but then can't be played with the gamepad

So this is great for all the Wii U owners who didn't have a TV, all zero of them

It's not useless. You can sit the gamepad in your lap and use a controller. It's not that bad. Obviously everyone wishes they could use the controller buttons for traditionally controlled games but it still comes in handy if you want to play Wii games while your TV is in use.  The update was pretty good but the one feature I really wanted, folders, didn't make it. :(
