Wii Titles (SMG2, Metroid Prime trilogy and Punch Out!) Announced for Wii U eShop
- Thread starter Volotaire
- Start date
Seems like both Galaxy and prime require the wiimote. I hadn't read the OP properly and was feeding off the hype from the nintendo direct with everyone looking forward to playing wii games on the gamepad. That was clarity before the details came out.
How it seems more like a convenience to have it digitally on the WiiU and not having to boot into wii mode. Other than that if you have the physical game you may as well continue to use that. Honestly forced use of wiimote is annoying for me and a real downer. Galaxy arguably never should have used the wiimote anyway and should have had classic controller support.

For now, Nintendont is your option.
SMH
Pandora's Tower and Sin & Punishment support the CCP, but other than them, no other announced game does. This fact, plus the way it was presented in the Direct, makes me think that there's a system update that would implement this feature for all Wii games. Or, at least, for the very precise list of (a handful) of first-party games that have CCP support.
I'd kill to play Xenoblade on the gamepad!
Refer to my previous answer. Only PT and S&P support the CCP-to-Gamepad feature so far. Read the OP?

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
So have we considered having OTs for these "VC" wii games? Kinda want to talk about my experience with SMG2 but feel the OT might be too dead to get replies.

Also, are you guys sure punch out wii doesnt support CC? cause it sure as hell supports gamecube controllers(thats what I played it with) and I dont know a single wii game that if they have the option for gamecube controllers they dont also have a option for CC controls.
I'd like to know about that too. I tried without sensor bar, using the gamepad screen but I didn't get a response. I'm afraid gamepad only works as sensor bar after vWii has launched.

Prime's motion controls are goddamn amazing and shit all over the Gamecube controls.
Punch-Out!! has three control options, AFAIK: Wiimote+Nunchuk (motion-based); sideways Wiimote (button-based "classic NES" scheme) and Wiimote+Nunchuk+Balance Board (motion-based EX Turbo' Revival Dash Plus... or something like that. Much motion.)
The CCP supported by the game, as far as I can tell. Are you sure you played with the GCN controller? That's the first time I hear about it. Pretty neat, though.
Are you unemployed?

This. The aiming is really precise, the switching between visors and weapons is very intuitive and the platforming works out pretty well
When I first played corruption back in the day it was the game that single handedly made me a believer in motion controls.
Much prefer playing thru MP 1&2 with motion.

Just thought of something, the reported issues with external HDDs, could that be dependent on the model you're using? Mine is a 2TB Seagate HDD that's one of the specifically recommended model #'s on Nintendo's site.
Perhaps those using ones not listed, or even really unknown cheap brands are facing said issues? There are an ocean of HDDs out there to choose from after all.

Yes, the most likely differences between those who get it to work and those who don't are HDD model or Wii U OS version. I have no issue running it from the HDD (also a 2TB Seagate, with the latest OS update).

Latest update, you mean on Wii U or do you have to update the drive? I never updated my drive, it's just been with my Wii U since day 1.
And as I forgot to say here; my copy of Galaxy 2 is fine, no black screens or whatever.
Just an awkward thing where Mario kept walking to the right when I moved the stick in a different direction twice for a second (caused me to lose a life in the intro), but that's likely my Nunchuk since I've barely used the thing since buying it, so I'm likely only noticing a flaw now.

Come back to standard controls on metroid prime it's a real pain.

Please tell me of those other places where you can get better games than Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid Prime Trilogy for significantly less than 10 bucks each.
What a lame drive by troll post.

Oh I Nintendont, it's just I've been pining for legitimate off the eshop shelf GC downloads. Then I wouldn't have to go into homebrew, that beautiful GC game icon could rest snugly in a folder of the same name on the dash... Baby steps Nintendo, baby steps.

the games should be one dollar

$10 each for games that can easily fit in the "Wii Top 10" is absolutely fair.
MPT especially is a ridiculous value.

If they replace the switched-off multiplayer with Nintendo servers multiplayer, I will buy it again.

LttP threads seem appropriate. I'll sure make some for MPT if nobody else does!

Once you go Wiimote + Nunchuck on Metroid Prime you wont want to go back, I had confidence after really liking MP3's controls - and when MPT hit and I replayed it it definitely delivered.
One of the best games ever got even better that day. *faints*

I can't pay that kind of money, though.

$3.33 for each game..
Those are the only control schemes that work with Punch-Out!! Wii. The GameCube and Classic Controller do not work with Punch-Out!! Wii.
You could play the NES Punch-Out!! with the GameCube controller and Classic Controller though.
The PS2 collection usually goes for $10-$20 and isn't compatible with the more recent PS3 or PS4 systems. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...w=mega+man+annivesary+collection+ps2&_sacat=0
They're also ports of the Playstation 1 versions (which can be downloaded individually on PSN) which are ports of the NES games and aren't as good in quality (sound quality, color palette, screen cropping, difference in frame rate). That's why the NES cartridges go for so high and the Virtual Console versions are worth it at $5 each. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odk...0.H0.Xmega+man+nes&_nkw=mega+man+nes&_sacat=0

So games after the first three wont be on sale first week?
Hero of Legend

No clue sadly. I would hope they do this every time. If Nintendo sees a decline of sales after the first week, they might decide to continue it.
I also hope we might see lower prices for games that featured online, especially ones where they were pretty crucial, like Mario Kart Wii and Brawl. I dunno, $15 and $7.50 first week?

I doubt they'll release games like MK or Smash, since there's MK8 and Smash4. Zangeki no reginleiv has online feature, so we can wait and see.

While I would love Super Mario Galaxy 2 and DKCReturns installed on the Wii U (especially as I've just bought a 500GB hard drive and would be nice to use it) I just can't enforce that kind of laziness on myself.
I rotate where my Wii U is in the house depending on whose home and what game I'm playing between my room and the downstairs living room, which is where I keep my games. Alls this really is doing is saving me getting up and swapping discs. Also, it would make me feel like the disc copies I own no longer have any use.
I will be jumping on MP Trilogy though, I've been hunting for that for years since it came out and could never justify the price. I missed the original Prime, got stuck on Prime 2 back in '05 (it's that bit where if you save before a boss on low health, you're completely screwed, as you can't heal and when you reload the game you're health is stuck at what you saved at) and completed Prime 3 on Wii back in '08 (great game). So it's perfect. Also been meaning to grab Sin and Punishment, sucks about Xenoblade though. Doubtful we'll see a release any time soon, if ever, as I would have liked to have played it in all its glory.
As for Kirby, I really want to own the disc copy as it would complete my Wii collection of having all the main franchises represented, and I'm really anal about that. But like MPT, the prices for it are crazy.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but them's the breaks.
Yes that seemed to be my problem. When I read the gamepad would work as a sensor bar, I assumed that would be through the whole process not just for after the game had launched >_>
I don't think we know yet, but I really hope so.

Actually, Smash 64 and MK64 came out on the Wii VC and that surely didn't affect sales of Brawl and MKWii. It can happen.

So wait.. I can play the Metroid Prime games streaming to my Wii U pad? That's it?
Tempting.

Yes, technically, but you still need to use a Wiimote and nunchuk.

The games still look excellent. Great art design goes a long way. And it helps that they all run at a smooth 60fps.
Trilogy is a steal at full price considering you get 3 amazing games for the price of one.
$10? That's almost like getting paid to play the games.
Quick googling says the .iso is 7.6gB
I googled it and I see 7.6GB.
