Most of those games will probably not be released on Wii U anyway, so I doubt you'll have to spend all that much on upgrades.
Most of the games people actually bought will be.

Not in the US : (
I'm really looking forward to 60 Hz SMW. Will be interesting to see if the slower speed fucks with my usual timing. It's the one game I probably played the most on the SNES (well, that and maybe SMK and SoM).

Yes they are. Search for the games manually.

I'm not so sure about that. I expect that maybe half of the games I bought to reappear on Wii U. And it will take years before they even manage to reach that.

I think you have to do system transfer and Wii U automatically detects it and you upgrade?

This. It should show up at the discounted price.
Then you bought a lot of shitty ones. I don't think it will take that long. This time around they have GBA library coming too not to mention the no-brainer that is GC VC.

I'm gonna complain for Mario Picross, and Picross in general instead.
I really need Picross. :'(

You right, but I think that will actually show up

These prices are still outrageous, but it's good to have some titles up, I suppose.

I agree. $8 for a 23 year old game is just cray!

WTF? $8
I thought it would be $1.50
I was gonna buy it at $1.50 but this is BS.

The Japanese list makes me green with envy, 2 fire emblems and earthbound?
I will never understand complaints about pricing of Virtual Console titles when the market for the real thing is so out of hand. You can play NES, SNES, etc. games for a fraction of what it would cost you otherwise when you get them on Virtual Console. Not to mention their emulation is superb. It's just not reasonable to complain IMO.

That's if you transfer your Wii version over.
Seriously, I'm bummed that Nintendo charges this much for such an old game. It doesn't help that iOS games have changed the perception of pricing.

It should. I had SMW transferred and it showed at the 1.50 discount automatically.

So my brother and I are trying to play SMW on eShop and we're having an issue.
We own a gamepad and a pro controller.The VC emulation recognizes both controllers as Player 1. So, the BOTH of us can CONTROL mario, but when mario dies, player 2 can control Luigi. The thing is, the VC does NOT recognize ANY controller as player 2. : (

Yeah, $1.50 is what I thought they would've charged for NES, and SNES going from 2.50 to 5. Oh well. Can't beat SMW for 1.50 I guess (Since I got it on Wii practically free and will transfer over one day)
You should be able to assign controllers in the settings menu (touch the GamePad).

Is there anyone that owns SMW on their Wii, but has not done the transfer to Wii U that can check the price?
RurouniZel
Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Yes it will. I just upgraded SMW and Punch Out with the prices, didn't have to do anything fancy since I had transferred the items ages ago.
EDIT: By the by, best way to find all the games is to search using the word "Virtual", it'll bring up the entire list.

Thanks! How come it only shows up on the gamepad menu? shouldn't I be able to do the same with the Pro Controller but with the dpad or analog sticks?

Does this mean you can do multi-direction glitches without taking apart controllers...(Link to the past being a famous one...what I like is they did not fix it for the GBA release either, can't remember if you could get into the bonus dungeon though)
Man I really don't we have to worry about this :lol
We will be lucky to have 50 by 2014.

I do not actually think $1 to $1.50 is too much to ask for an upgrade that required new work to be done for it.
I do agree that Nintendo's base virtual console prices are a bit too high though. I don't think games lose all value just because they're "old" but SNES games should be, say, $4.99. $2.99 for NES games, and so forth.
