Youtube works again btw =D

Excuse my ignorance but...

The Wii U gamepad does NOT act as a classic controller with VC titles and Wii games that support CC functionality.

Correct?

Correct.

 

[gfdoom]

Apparently more stuff is coming?!

I don't know about you folks but this is the feel good event of the Summer

I wouldn't use this regularly but it's a neat novelty.

I'm expecting a new VC platform as well as Miiverse and/or managing accounts on phones/PC.

System response is much improved across a lot of areas it used to be much slower

That is our very own Vooks! He runs one of the biggest gaming sites in Australia.

Well shit. I'm updating.

You have the best avatar ever. I went to a Dads show a few months ago and had a blast at it

Wait, they updated the Wiiware version of Toki tori or something? I'm confused.

 

[Papytendo]

The Vook guy is a contributor for Kotaku Australia and vooks.net. Go nuts.

 

[FLAguy954]

Goddamn can someone actually CONFIRM that the gamepad doesn't act like a classic controller pro in Wii mode after the update?

EDIT:

It seems the gamepads buttons don't work. That's extremely disappointing . Baby steps I guess...

Hopefully this means he's reliable and knows what he's talking about?

Man I so wish I had a NA Xenoblade now! (have the EU version, got it the moment came out). I would so be playing that doing quest even with the bit annoyance of needing extra controls.

This was quite the surprise I never expected though and forgive the delay if it was to add this! Now to get a NA version of The Last Story!

 

[Mendoza]

When I first read the OP, I was about to go turn on my Wii U. Download the update. Grab Xenoblade Chronicles. And play it in bed until I fall asleep.

But you're all telling me that I need to grab a WiiMote and a CC?

My night went from rad to ruined in like 10 minutes.

 

[Scum]

I can keep proper detailed track of how much money I'm giving away to Nintendo now via the eShop. :<

You can capture pics from games and upload them to websites without going through miiverse

That's Toki Tori 2. You should buy it.

Just prop up the screen and go to town i guess.

A gaffer, Vooks. He gets press releases and stuff but I think this is just he speculating, not hinting at anything.

It's Toki Tori 2

For some reason Nintendo announcements get this a lot.
I wonder why.

 

[Majine]

"Of course you can't play your Wii games on the gamepad screen. This is Nintendo, they're not gonna support Off-TV Play with the gamepad."

Different case, if they went back and gave Gamepad support for every Wii game, it would've been beyond anything I've seen from Nintendo.

 

[Formless]

Man this updating is taking me forever.

Yeah same here. I was about to run to Toys R' Us and buy a Wind Waker Bundle.

Now I'll just wait until they add CC functionality to the pad.

Nice try Nintendo.

This has been confirmed a billion times over.

Oh wow, that is pretty cool.

I'm pretty sure that's toki tori 2. Two tribes hasn't release Toki Tori on Wii U eshop yet

Edit: sort of beaten

I was thinking that first pic looked a little small.

But gatDANG that is one nice looking screen. Hell, I'd almost call bullshot on it.

PC-gaf better watch out when Wii U has it's own screenshot thread (obviously not for multiplat games, but still!)

 

[WAR recon zero]

No. The Gamepad will display Wii games now, but that's it. You still have to use a Wii remote, or like with VC games, a classic controller plugged into a Wii remote.

wow talk about an useless feature

 

[BD1]

I'm just happy they added the friends list button to the menu.

 

[ZeroGravity]

All I want is to be able to play my N64 VC games on the GamePad alone :/

Thanks.

that's coming in the next couple of weeks aparently

 

[sensui-tomo]

hey i remember an update to the custom firmware on the wii for wiiu that allowed the wii u controllers to work in place of the wii-mote, anyone here know if that still works?(would cause me to actually install CFW on the wii-u's wii mode if that does indeed work)
