Some of you guys are upset that you can get DS games on the Wii-U's online service? I don't even know where to start. :lol:

I posted this as a separate thread too, but I might as well post it here as well:

Zavvi is selling some 3rd party Wii U games at great prices.

I suspect that people are frustrated you can't get them on the 3DS. Also, that Nintendo has wasted time on this when we still don't have GameCube games on VC despite the hardware likely being able to play them natively.

I was never upset, just thought it was funny. Those DS games are going to look awful on the big screen.

I dont really see how they'll be any worse than the other old systems on virtual console, or any of the old game boy games played through a Super Game Boy or Game Boy Player.

As usual, the 2D games will look totally fine if you're into pixel art and the 3D will look like complete garbage.

Did you guys here Watch_Dogs for Wii U is delayed? Apparently they're busy polishing up the versions that will actually sell. :P

But it can't. It doesn't have any GCN components built in.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

DS games already look awful on tiny screens, I don't see what difference the resolution will make.

It's clear as day Ubisoft is bailing on the system.

Also there are no analog shoulder buttons on any Wii U Controllers, so quite a few games won't be playable. Like Mario Sunshine.
