Wind Waker HD coming to the Wii U

[dsheinem]

Sorry...only 1 NES title per month until June i think, but for 30 cents i think it is a cool idea from Nintendo.

Also think the price point for upgrading your existing NES and SNES VC games from Wii to Wii U with added Game Pad feature is fair for those who have already purchased some of the titles on Wii VC. I believe it was $1/$1.50 respectively. Looks like you have the option of upgrading for the Game Pad playable version or just stick to your original download if you are not into using the Game Pad.

Wait, they are charging you an "upgrade" fee to play games you already purchased once on the controller's screen? Isn't that supposed to be a standard feature of playing games on the Wii U anyway? It would be like if Sony charged me an extra $1 to play PSP/PS1 digital content I already purchased if I wanted to play it on the Vita

They are adding new features to the games, and they aren't taking away your ability to play the ones you already bought. A nominal fee for the additional features seems fair.

What new features are they adding? The way it was stated earlier suggested that they are just implementing a bit of code at the OS level that checks the game and says "if X ($1 paid) then Y (send title to gamepad screen)." What are they adding to the games that substantiate the extra dough?

"The Wii U Virtual Console will launch with a selection of NES and Super Nintendo games, though Iwata noted that it will not launch with the entire library already available on the Wii Virtual Console. The reason for this, said Iwata, is that Wii U Virtual Console games are being newly developed especially for Wii U and will feature the ability for players to save their progress and play directly on the GamePad."

"By tapping the touch screen (ZL+ZR also worked), you can access the Virtual Console menu, which allows you to create a restore point, reset the game, or change controls. From there, you can alter the individual button mapping for any controller you have plugged in: I tried a GamePad, Wiimote, Wii U Pro Controller, and Wii Classic Controller, and each let me set the function of every button on the device. The GamePad, Wiimote, and Classic Controller all served as the player 1 controls, and the Pro Controller defaulted to player 2."

I'm sure we'll learn more.

That is the most out of nowhere unexpected game I could've ever imagined.

Despite Nintendo's efforts in the past, it's still bizarre whenever they tangle with anything M-rated.

Trying to figure out if this game existing is weirder than when Solid Snake was announced for Brawl.

Save states? Customizeable controls? Why should we be expected to pay more money for things that come standard with every other emulator??
