Like seriously, it looks so good
My camera phone does it no justice at all.
If you have a wii U and a copy of xenoblade, put dat on your gamepad

Xenoblade deserves much better than 480 x 800. Dolphin is the only true way to play it.
But you can LOOK at it on the Gamepad.
And treat it like a tiny, semi-remote TV!
Guess it works when someone's on the TV and you're HUNGERING for more Xenoblade.

Does the gamepad function as a CC pro or something?
That sucks so much. It you could do it I think it would be a decent insensitive for me to get a Wii U. Not my highest priority, but definitely something I'd like to have.

wiimote and nuchuck, theres no pointer controls or motion controls so I just have it resting on my lap
No, which is pretty absurd. Just thinking about all the content that would open up (Xenoblade, DKC Returns, Wii Virtual Console) would be amazing.
I find it hard to believe that they can't patch a firmware update to the Wii interface to understand the gamepad as a CC. Or at the very least, just toss some Wii versions on the eShop with the very minor tweaking (assumption) necessary to run them in U mode.

Can you use Dolphin only with legal copies of the game?
If not, no deal. I don't do illegal crap.

I think the number of both is quite small, the two combined, even smaller. I am lucky, I own both
Yes, but you need a method of getting the game onto your pc, which while legal, requires a modded wii.
But man, xenoblade shines something special on the pc
Where?

Yay, I'm a minority.
It looks ok on the Gamepad and I play with CCP... too bad they won't let us use the Gamepad controls.
Gamepad viewing is pointless without it. If I'm gonna be using a separate controller I may as well use my TV since I can't comfortably lie in bed a play.

My experience with Wii on the U pad is that it introduces really bad scaling artifacts. You would expect it to look like razor sharp Wii frame buffer grabs, but it seems to first upscale to your TV resolution (1080p for most people), then downscale that output to the U pad (double scaling). Perhaps setting Wii U to 480p will improve results.

I believe you can just place the game into your PC's optical drive and run it from there (using Dolphin), or copy it to the hard drive as an .iso file.

Actually going to go try this. Sounds interesting.
Wish Nintendo added Wiipad functionality and auto scaling depending on the game.
That would be too much to wish for lol. Wish at least the homebrewing community could work something out.
I have a laptop powerful enough to run it, but them stuttering ugh.

Nah, the stores I'd be looking at are definitely in urban areas. Less "giant battle in the middle of nowhere" and more "dawn of the dead with higher population density"
In my experience you cannot. Your drive wont recognize the disc.

I almost said urban, but it didn't sound as funny. Good luck with that. I was lucky enough to grab both before the price gouging began.

As I understand it, the Wii disc is a proprietary format, so it should not be read in a run of the mill disc drive. Which would explain why you need a modded Wii for it to work.
Gotta love how they specify the rare games lol.

Dont know, should try that next.
I imagine every game with aliasing issues looks better shrunk down on the gamepad.

Thanks. both came out during a period of a couple years when I ignored most games that weren't steam-sale-impulse-buys so i missed them...
I anxiously glance at last story and pandora's tower on amazon every so often, wondering if I need to pounce on those to avoid similar fates..
Nostremitus

Some will, most won't... IIRC LG made some that did.
Pandora's Tower has been dirt cheap. I picked up a couple of copies for $13 at GameFly, and it's been $20 new at GameStop twice, with Amazon matching that at least once.
The Last Story shouldn't be that expensive either, unless you want a Limited Edition or something.
I bought a Wii U last week. Also have a sealed copy of XB. Been battling it out in my mind on whether I want to open it or not. If gamepad control support was patched in for wii mode I would've broke.
Instead I'm patiently waiting for that $40 copy on black friday now
