Some of the mini games in Nitendo Land do.

Sensor bar comes with the white Wii U as well.

As far as motion plus, I would only buy Wii remotes with motion plus. There's no reason to have any of the originals anymore, imo.
My B/S/T thread! :)

Will retro console games be released on Wii U virtual console? I am talking about the non-Nintendo consoles like Neo-Geo and Genesis games .

Well SEGA is putting a bunch of Game Gear games on 3DS, dunno what the hold up is for getting some of their console games on Wii U VC.

I think one of the selling points of the Wii was the VC , and not having it on the Wii U or making it just exclusive for Nintendo consoles is a step backwards. If I bought VC games on Wii , of course I will NOT buy a Wii U because I will be missing the games I paid for.

All you gotta do is go into Wii Mode on your WiiU and you have access to all your VC stuff...as long as you transfer your data from the Wii to the WiiU (which is a super cute Pikmin animation)

This.

In a bit of irony, the Wii U is the only new console that allows you to carry over your digital purchases from the prior generation. What is there to be upset about?

Wait a minute, you mean all the psn titles like PSX originals and ps2 games won't make it to the ps4? (especially that psx emulation has been around for a long time now, ps4 should be more than able to do it) .

If not, I will make a big guess that this generation of ps3's and Xboxes will live the longest ever. I will not be surprised to see people hanging to their ps3's as their main console 4 years into ps4/X1 generation .

as for the Wii U, i think its just too much trouble to go through those hoops just to play VC games especially when you consider that those games are very simple to emulate . Not sure why they just can't release them on the Wii U VC , log in with your account and get all the games you paid for.
