Yes.
Wii Titles (SMG2, Metroid Prime trilogy and Punch Out!) Announced for Wii U eShop
- Thread starter Volotaire
- Start date
Yes.
Games with online features aren't going to support them on the Wii U, since they had to shut down Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection in May of 2014. No online play for Reginliev and no leaderboards for S&P2.
Do I need the numchuk thing aswell?

Unfortunately yes. Gamepad support would've guarateed a double dip for me.

Yeah, I'm talking about that if they're going to reduce the price more or not because of this.
I hope you guys get it. Best $5 wii clearance game I ever bought, lol.

Then you won't be buying MPT. What a pity, because it's a fantastic pack of fantastic games, for a fantastic price.
PSA: The first post in this thread is magical. Trust me.
Such a shame. I did fancy replaying them to be honest but I don't want to play with a Wii remote

No, it's like paying $10 to play 3 games. I think the value is great but that was a dumb statement.

Wii Remote.
I think we already know the answer to that one.

Another wii remote (no nunchuk needed) buuuut the "coop" barely qualifys as a 2 player mode, the second player basically can use the pointer to help stun enemies and collect star bits.
Probably useful for young or inexperianced players but most people will probably end up bored.

Mario Galaxy 2 is sooooo good. As soon as I finished it I ran out to buy 3d world, but so far it isn't as magical as Galaxy 2.

Bingo! That's what I'm looking for

They're not going to go back through 3 games and remove all the motion control retooling just for an eShop port. Besides, everyone and their mothers should have a Wii Remote and Nunchuck, and in this case it vastly improves the gameplay. Accept that games with motion controls ingrained into their gameplay aren't going to be playable on dat Gamepad, and move on. I'll spoil it for y'all; you're gonna need a MotionPlus for the Skyward Sword re-release. Just saying.
And my goodness, are people still not understanding you need a Wii Remote for these after 44 pages of it clearly stating as such in the OP?!
Crap! Not enough space left.
I don't have a seperate sensor bar for my wii u, and I can't play smg 2 on my tv. Playing on my wii u screen seems to work fine. When wii mode asks which screen i'd like to choose I can't use my wii remote to choose tv, all i Can do is press + and wii u shows smg2 on gamepad screen

So delete some stuff or get a thumb drive.
Also, I should start looking for my Wii sensor bar - or just get a wireless one for $5 off ebay.

The funny thing is a week and a half ago I pulled out smg2 and MP trilogy out and I started replaying it on my Wii u.
You can use the analogue of the nuchuck/classic controller attached on the wii remote to move the wii remote cursor on the wii u menu. Try this

There is a few controle options in Metroid Prime for wii as well, you will have to get used to traversing about with wiimote aiming but
with free look disabled when locked onto enemies I didn't think the combat was that much different from the Gamecube games. Apart from prime 3 which threw in a few other motion specific things like tearing shields off enemies.

Do those thumb drives work alright? Do they read fast enough to play the games ok?

They should - I've used them on the 360 and haven't had problems. I figure they'd work just fine for Wii U too.
Well, MP3 would be unplayable without it, cause the whole game was designed around being able to move freely.

I've heard that thumb drives can only read/write so many times? Only thing lying around I have that could contain MPT :\
Also, worst comes to worst and I don't have proper storage, can I just buy MPT off the eShop without downloading it, so I can get that £8.99 price?

You can use a thumb drive as a way to store games but I wouldn't play games off of it. Buy and download MPT on it then transfer it to the internal drive when ready to play.
Jesus.
Is it safe to use an external without a power supply if you have the Y cable?
I could just use my old ps4 HDD
You should be able to buy it even if you don't have the space. At most you'll get a notice saying that there's invalid space but it'll still be in your purchase history.

That isn't how it works on 3DS. It actually stops you from buying unless you can download it immediately. Don't know about Wii U.
I've had my Wii U hooked up to an external USB drive powered via a Y cable since launch, everything seems to be ok. You have to feed the drive power off of both USB ports or it won't work.
Will be picking up all three games coming to North America. I missed out on each for various reasons and always wanted to play them. Not a bad deal at all.For a little over $30 because of tax I'm getting 5 games. That's an amazing deal.
I hope they let us know what games are coming after January in NA.
Guess you won't be buying it then. A shame. The Metroid Prime games simply play much better with the pointer controls. You could always find a gamecube and try and track down the original versions of MP1 and 2 and be out a close to a hundred dollars if not more.

I know Nintendo won't do this, but I really hope they patch in Classic Controller/Gamepad support to Donkey Kong Country Returns to work like the 3DS version. It's what Retro should have fucking done in the first place. This game requires really precise controls and the Wiimote basically ruined the experience for me.
Not really. You can get a functioning GCN for about $40, and MP 1 & 2 for under $20 each.
It ends after a week. I would go ahead and buy it.

I'm buying them all if it means we will get a sequel or a HD remake in the future. Hell, I already own two copies of MPT, but I will be buying this too.

I love Metroid, but let's be real. 480p games especially the Cube ones with those textures in 2015 is hardly excellent.

Good to know. I was gonna wait a little, but I'll make sure to snag it asap now.

Yeah, that should be sufficient.
The HDD built in the PS4 is a 500GB, 2.5 inch, 5200rpm one.
I am using one with the exact same specs. It's connected just with an Y cable and works like a charme for more than two years now.
