Thread title says it all. What do you most want to see on whatever will be the Wii U's version of the eShop? Post anything. Games, service features, ect. Missing SNES Super FX games like Yoshi's Island and Star Fox, manual scans and cover art for VC titles? Unified release dates? Most titles cross playable between Wii U and 3DS?

Me? Content wise, I'd love to see lots of arcade shmups (2D shoot 'em up games). It'd be great if Cave approached Nintendo to bring over some of their shmups. They're hurting for money after all. Imagine being able to play a DoDonPachi game or Mushihimesama on the TV and then switch it to the Gamepad screen. If the controller is as light as folks say, it'd be easy to turn it around and hold in TATE mode. A post I made regarding this in one of the old Wii U speculation threads:

Agent Unknown: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost...postcount=5168 Actually, as long as a dev makes the controls completely configurable, playing a vertical shmup like Ikaruga is totally doable on the Upad and a potentially great future option for the streaming feature and a player wouldn't have to use a stand/wiimote at all. As an example, I have Capcom Classics Remixed for PSP and I always play 1941 and Varth with my PSP flipped in full TATE screen mode with movement on the Dpad reversed and fire and bomb/special mapped to different positions on the analog nub. It just takes a little bit of getting used to and works extremely well. Using the same method on the Upad, you'd be using the left analog slider for movement and Dpad for firing, ect. and as long the controller is as light as people say, just like my PSP TATE example, it would be easy to adjust to. Again though, it depends on the dev because I also have Twinbee Portable collection and for some stupid reason Konami chose to allow TATE controls on the dpad but kept the firing options locked to the face buttons which is very uncomfortable and ruins it as a viable option.

Sega CD, Saturn, 32X, and Atari jaguar games. Also GameCube library if possible

[DXB-KNIGHT]

More Virtual Consoles/Arcades games and the ability to play on the screen.

Don't forget Dreamcast!

Oh and speaking of Ikaruga, lots of Treasure games, please.

Yes, being able to stream VC games to the screen is a must.

[Anth0ny]

HD GC games is all I ask for.

Wow, platformer with randomly generated levels? Looks amazing.

Satellaview VC

Satellaview Zelda with the missing radio trasmitted audio segments added back in!

[Rodney McKay]

Good games at least twice a month.

Original, retro, whatever. Just have a decent flow of good quality content.

Nintendo was off to an OK start with the 3DS for a while there, but waiting month after month for the Wario Land games is testing my patience.

[Jintor]

Virtual console that shit.

[Cartman86]

Fast load, download, and purchase times.

[elektrixx]

Don't give us inferior 50Hz PAL garbage.

Upscale for fuck's sake. Give the user the abilities of emulators on PC.

Downloading in the backgound. I want MEGABYTES, not fucking blocks.

[outunderthestars]

HD GC games is all I ask for.

You'll get those: as $50 collections

[Agent Unknown]

HD GC games is all I ask for.

Good news: Isle Delfino looks amazing.

The bad news: Hunting blue coins in 720/1080p is still a terrible experience.

Yeah, as I mentioned in the OP, we really need unified release dates between regions.

Sales.

I want games to go down in price, sometimes for short periods, sometime's for good. I want some titles (even if they are small things) to turn free. I want to have a reason to check to regurally even if there isn't a new game out.

[Erethian]

The aspects of the eShop I'm most interested in are the sorts of things we'll never get to find out unless a developer anonymously spills the beans. But they also influence how much content goes up.

What's the process and cost involved in getting content up on the service? Is there a download limit? Are developers charged for title updates (ala Xbox Live) or for the bandwidth used to download their content (ala PSN)? How much control do they have over setting the price of their content? Are F2P titles allowed? How much of a cut does Nintendo take on sales? Is there a sales threshold that has to be met before they get their sales revenue from Nintendo? Will there be periodic sales where (again) publishers/developers can set their own prices?

Then there's other stuff like how good the UI will be and whether they'll have the eShop website up and running at launch. (as in the website you can browse from any web-enabled device to buy eShop content)

[AniHawk]

more never-released games would be great. sin & punishment was a good start, and i know a couple others made it too.

basically terranigma.

[Holy Wars]

I want a games library that is constant with my prior purchases and displayed even if the game isn't downloaded. Like Steam. I want this in the system OS and not specifically in the eShop.

[cosmicblizzard]

Some old games that never got an English release. Gamecube ones would be nice.

Also, I'm reminded of the first Wiiware game I bought (Lost Winds) which would be perfect with the controller.

[Dreamwriter]

The only thing I want is for ALL retail titles to be available for download. Nintendo already promised us that all first-party titles will be downloadable day and date with retail, but I want third-party as well, something Nintendo hasn't mentioned yet.

[Jackano]

- Transferable Wii/3DS purchases (already confirmed for Wii);
- Virtual console handheld
- Wii/GC games => At this point, the WiiU will be the definitive Nintendo system, able to play everything since the NES!
- The other missing "modern" systems (Saturn, Dreamcast, GC)
- Nintendoes what Dolphin does (HD assets for GC/Wii games)
- Game renting throught cloud gaming (not gonna happen)
- More Anabi Festival/unreleased games: From SattellaView Zelda's and Starfox 2 to Another Code R (for the US).
- 10~25$ gift cards with several games and music CD or NFC fig.

And that's just on the virtual console side!

Well obviously that sort of thing is in the hands of publishers. I wouldn't be surprised if there's some wrangling on how much of a cut Nintendo gets, especially from the likes of EA.

[AzaK]

Off the top of my head, Super Mario Sunshine.

Oh and more quality games, as opposed to the trickle of mainly crap we get on the eShop now,

[Baconsammy]

Out of print classic DS games. Canvas Curse please.

[Dreamwriter]

Well, Sony managed to force all PS-Vita developers to do it, so Nintendo should be able to as well.

[Erethian]

True, but I don't think Nintendo wants to be taking cues from Sony and the Vita on how they should handle dealing with third parties.

[Baconsammy]

I also want Nintendo to stop being inept, and to start tying my purchases to me instead of to my hardware. That they released the 3DS eshop like this is a joke. I won't buy any digital versions of retail games until they correct this mistake.

True, but I don't think Nintendo wants to be taking cues from Sony and the Vita on how they should handle dealing with third parties.

I do, because when Nintendo deals with the wishes of third parties, we get stupid s*** like demo limits.

[Sir Ilpalazzo]

I want Demon's Crest. I'm still surprised it never made it to the Wii VC.

[Oni Link 666]

I want it to get the same games XBLA and PSN get. I don't want it to be left out like Wiiware. When someone announces a multiplatform downloadable game, there should be no question about it coming to Wii U.

[Terrell]

A less abysmal storefront. I'd have bought more Virtual Console and WiiWare titles if that store wasn't a damned nightmare to navigate.

[Wii Tank]

Gamecube virtual console hands down. Someone suggested DS games and I could see that being feasible down the line eventually. Seems a bit early but I wouldn't mind for a few games.

What I'd really like is for the virtual console service in general to start releasing the good games right off the bad and not saving them for years and years down the line. I'm still waiting on most of the N64 library Nintendo. Nintendo even stopped continuing the service on the Wii because it wasn't selling very well. Maybe if they stopped putting out crap it wouldn't be a problem. /rant

Other than VC stuff what I'd really like to see is more retail like games going for cheaper prices. Like the Trine 2 game that's coming to eShop in a way. If Nintendo wants to hold games at their $50-$60 price range then release all the year old ports or something on the eShop for cheaper. I could see a price like $30 working out really well for games like Arkham City and Mass Effect 3. Nintendo is going to have a hard time convincing many people to buy a game that came out a year or two ago again at full price.

[WhyMe6]

The opening of the Virtual Console floodgates: ten VC games a week. Cross-account "transfarring" between 3DS and Wii U. Regional equality. Getting around the fucking ratings board that slows down so many quality releases (especially the OFLC in Australia - biggest bullshit fees). Upscaled GCN games. GBA Virtual Console (for 3DS). Full retail releases of obscure DS and Wii games on the eShop (Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love! Captain Rainbow! Zangeki no Reginleiv!)

"Achievement" integration could be cool, but it would slow things down considerably. And, by the looks of things, Nintendo certainly don't need any slowing down in their release rate -_-;;

[Famicom]

Every retail game, preferrably free if I purchase a physical copy (pipe dream, I know).

[Tyrax]

I want them to re-name their digital marketplace again.
U-buy?

[Rapstah]

Great music like the Wii and DS shops.

[Emitan]

Actually support it. Not this "maybe we'll remember to upload a 2MB ROM onto the store today, it's so difficult" nonsense that the wii had.

[Persona7]

Gamecube games but Nintendo will probably charge like 14.99 and 19.99 for them.

[ShockingAlberto]

Honestly?

Pre-loading.

[JosephManderley]

Online Leaderboards for VC games. It isn't rocket science...

[LeleSocho]

Lots of game choice not only 5 decent games, double the VC library and add GC games.... in 1080p.

And a motherfucking good GUI, i've bought only 3 titles on all nintendo's eshops in 6 years primarily because of this.

[MasterShotgun]

The minimum I ask for is Gamecube games on VC, and for the entire Wii VC library to be available from the start (or damn soon after launch).

Also, it would be nice if they kept up a steady stream of good games. The 3DS eShop has been abysmal for the past couple of months.

[Agent Unknown]

Just remembered we STILL don't have Contra NES yet we've had Super C since 2007! Konami sure treats Nintendo fans strangely.

[PetriP-TNT]

Same I wanted from Wii VC, just an insane library of games. That kinda never happened so I am not getting my hopes up

[bomma_man]

HD GC games is all I ask for.

No analogue triggers suggests they're either not putting GC games on VC at all, or they're going to re tool them into HD editions. Hoping the for the later.

Edit: oh and NTSC editions of games, not shit bordered 50hz versions.

[Hitlersaurus Christ]

I just want good games.

[AniHawk]

i just want my kids back.
