Genuine question, how many Wii U games require the second screen to such an extent that you can't play the game simply on the second screen when the TV is off or in use.

ZombiU is one, NintendoLand is another. Rayman Legends is going to be another (or at least might be, now it remains to be seen if they are going to leave all that stuff in the Wii U build still but I would suspect so).

OK, so a few games but arguably really a minority of the total output for the Wii U. I imagine that this is a trend which will continue for multi format games if Sony and MS really play up the optional second screen angle then games which take advantage of the optional second screen can easily be ported to the Wii U and vice versia.

Now playing F-zero while D/L monster hunter. What a nice day. Also the 60hz version of F zero is so much faster than the 50hz one.

Like an idiot, I've queued them in the wrong order and I can't see a way to reorder them :facepalm:

Oh well, I have to do the dishes now anyway.

They are bloody useless at VC releases.

I know it's all staggered so stuff doesn't get lost but really, they should just release everything at once and just promo it on the front page or something for those that aren't looking.

The other thing for me though is the price really, if they were all £2 I'd probably buy LOADS of them. Which would work out 'more' than only one at £5 every few months. Well, for me anyway.

Also, where are GC / N64 games?

Next snes one we get is super metroid.I really would like them to do Yoshis island.

Monster hunter seem's to be downloading quite quickly.

I'm pretty sure there is an issue with any FX chip game. There was a similar issue with Light Gun games. Nintendo were ready to release a whole load of NES light gun games but couldn't get it the emulation to work for some reason.

Was Super Mario Advance 3 a total remake then and not a port?

Yeah, as sad it sounds, properly done SNES (and hopefully more systems beyond) games on the Gamepad would sell a Wii U to me quite quickly and by releasing lots of games now they would be able to plug these initial software release gaps. Sadly I fear it will be years until a decent amount of games are availble for the Wii U so it isn't an immediate selling point. Perhaps don't release everything now but certainly aim for most of the big hitters to be out over the next few months.

What are we thinking re N64 games, does the pad have the requisite controls to play them?

It does. It's the same as the wii classic/controler pro in it's number of buttons etc.

Right stick - C buttons, ZL+ZR could take over the Z button and the rest is up to you. I've always found it awkward playing N64 games without the N64 controller though.

Great. It shows up even more not having a good collection of decent games available when the system launched. Imagine having some top flight SNES games, Super Mario 64, Gamecube Smash Brothers available when the situation launched. Even at £6-8 a pop you've got some classic games for people to play whilst there are limited games available and the novelty of playing them on the controller screen will be a selling point. Just easy money coupled with good PR really.
