Thank goodness! Hopefully this is explained in more detail tonight/tomorrow!
I'll be using the wii u to actually buy wiiware games. There is an entire library i have ignored, i'll be fixing that (that alongside the wii's VC)
Shame on you....
You missed quite a few good games.
Though I can't wait to play these games on my tablet (I might complete some of them).
I just hope the Wii VC is beefed up and overhauled for Wii U. Imagine online play across all VC games. That'd be sick.
If it's just the same service as the wii... Then bleh. nothing really exciting for me in the Wii U.
Good, cause I still have Wii Points cards that need spent, and I'm sure they won't work on Wii U.
This is actually the 1 feature I'm looking forward to the most.
I think it won't be too hard, they could have you keep your Wii connected to the TV and have your Wii just have the power hooked up so you can use the Gamepad to navigate through the transfer process.
Wish there to just download from the cloud or the Steam/PSN/Live way. I really want to sell my Wii to get a little money for the Wii U before it comes out and makes the Wii worth nothing.
Hopefully GameCube games will be VC supported
They already confirmed it a while back.
How ther are tons of great games on there you just have to look for them!
That's great to know, even if it was already pseudo-confirmed.
Now what I'd like to know is if you can transfer games from more than one Wii. I have two Wiis (long story) and I've downloaded games on both of them. I'd hate it if I had to choose between both sets of games.
Another thing that worries me is about the games whose save files can't be copied (wi-fi enabled ones, like Mario Kart, SSBB, Monster Hunter, etc.). I'm sure the rest can be transferred via SD card, but what about these?
glad to hear my 156 games will have a new home
While it's great to have it reconfirmed, I want to know if they'll be tied to universal accounts when transferred to Wii U.
But hey, my 54 VC games and 34 WiiWare games will make the jump, so I'm cool with that.
I think I know what you're talking about. It was some rep saying it was gonna happen right?
I'd take something like that with a grain of salt. I think it was people in the same position who were saying DSi was getting a VC and that didn't exactly pan out.
Not that I don't want it to happen, just be careful about what's considered confirmed here.
I wonder if this will be like the 3DS transfer...
May I see your proof or link?
I'm really hoping its confirmed.
@M1
I've *never* seen that confirmed anywhere.

Worth nothing? It's still a smaller Gamecube. I'll be using it for Gamecube games, and I'll be hacking my Wii so I can play import games and ROMs of games we're never going to get on the Virtual Console (like EarthBound, and Mother 3).
It will also become a HUB for Brawl hacks.
Speaking of Brawl, is Nintendo going to address the most glaring issue of Wii saves/transferring?
How do we move our ONLINE save files? Does Nintendo honestly expect me to reunlock everything in Brawl a 3rd time? And lose data on games like Sonic Colors and Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles that don't even USE online (just have leaderboards)?
That's the thing I am angsting about most right now.
@M1
I personally avoided the Wii Shop because of the way points are set up.
If I want a $6 game, I have to pay $10 and have $4 just laying around that I can't use until I buy something else.
And if I want a $12 game, I have to spend $20 and then buy an $8 game even if I didn't want one.
The set up is awful and why I didn't buy much on DSiWare that wasn't $5 either. 3DS changed that, so I got to enjoy a game like Spotto!
I'm assuming Wii U will follow 3DS's footsteps and allow us to pay exact amounts, meaning that a whole new world will open up for people like me who don't want to have my money wasted just so I can buy something cheaper.
I still have $1 sitting on the Wii Shop Channel, so I have to buy a $5 and $6 game at some point. Considering an NES game and an NES import game.
YES!
@MoldyClay
Good points! Never thought about modding, but I guess now would be a good time to start!
Love it.
But it also gives me less of a reason to use my Wii system outside of just being a 'Day Of Reckoning 2' console for the most part. You will rest in peace soon my Wii.
Yesh...Now how about ALLOW us to use games on our 3ds too.
After the ghastly experience I had with transferring my 3DS profile... I have no faith in Nintendo's account handling and by extension their entire online component... On my Xbox I can effortlessly transfer my profile, downloaded games and other content from system to system, and/or have it exist on multiple devices/systems at the same time.
Unless Nintendo commit to a proper account based system like XBL that lets me back up my DLC and save data, and isn't ludicrously locked to one device, I won't be touching any online content.
At this point I suspect the answer to this is a downright terrifying 'You don't'. I am honestly expecting Nintendo to keep save data locked down, possibly system wide this time. This locking data business is ourageous, unnecessary and almost put me off playing a number of Wii games, It's what drove me to hack my Wii in the first place... I never would have put the time into SSBB that it requires if my save data was ever at risk.
I will be praying the Wii U gets hacked wide open if they pull the same shovel again.
