It doesn't go by the highest selling. It goes by NoA's mercy
Even if it was by highest selling, Japan would've gotten NSMB Wii long before Galaxy.

Buy Codename Steam and all the Fire Emblem amiibos, of course!

I'm confused. I thought this was already on Wii U.

The second game was.
Radiant Dawn and Path of Radiance. They are both very expensive.
With Kimishima saying they will continue supporting the Wii U, i'm surprised why Nintendo don't just remaster their Wii/GC games for the Wii U? That would be relatively cheap compared to new IPs, sequels etc. SMG1&2 HD collection, Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles HD should've happened last year, Punch Out, Waverace, 1080 snowboarding, F-Zero GX HD etc.

loved the 2nd game, will i like its prequel?
It's not as tightly focused as the sequel, but it's still a masterpiece.
Same.
Probably. It's a bit more heavy on the minigame-esque stuff, in the sense that there's a lot of stuff that isn't traditional platforming stuff that's driven by Wiimote use.
It did, though? I always played it like spinning a top.
Seriously. I don't understand why NoA is so far behind and why they don't just upload more games. Especially the ones they published. I'm dying to get my hands on Radiant Dawn at an affordable price. Same with Battalion Wars.
Huh...back when the whole Wii game download thing started last winter I recall expecting SMG1 to receive some sort of remaster treatment just due to Galaxy 2 coming out for the eShop first. But then it never happened, and now it most definitely isn't going to, at least not on Wii U.
Personally I'm still waiting for Metroid Prime Trilogy HD for NX...probably never gonna happen.

so, NoA didn't even submit it in advance? they're just submitting now?
some of these games will hit in 2017 at this rate. good thing all the good stuff the other regions are getting is games i already have.
there's zero reasons outside NoA being complete shit with the schedule. japan has had SMG1 on Wii U VC since May.

I feel you man, using Wii Remote for spin jump just feels so good. Every time I fired up SMG2 I'd start it by using triple jump, spin jump and headbutt for homing attack to start up the level selection map. Functionally it's no different than entering the menu to select a level from the list, but it's touches like that that make a game greater for me.
Motion control was useless for sword controls in TP and outright detrimental for DKCR, but it worked great for SMG games.

I actually prefer it slightly over the sequel, though that's not a popular opinion.
This is a perfectly reasonable response to a game releasing on the virtual console.
I enjoyed the first one a bit more, but both are some of the best games ever, get it!

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Haven't played this since 07. Let's do it.
Unfortunately, this makes an HD remaster more unlikely.

Great game.

They should put up both at the same time but I get that they want to whet the whistle of people first then drop SMG2 to maximize on the sales.

SMG2 has been on the Wii U eShop for many months already.

I really really want a HD remaster of the original..
Dunno if I should buy this, and get disappointed how the graphics look on my 44 inches led tv instead of the old Sony CRT I used to have hooked up to the Wii.

Using the Wii remote to spin isn't great.
Using the NUNCHUK to spin is fantastic, though. It's a really natural integration of motion into gameplay. Feels perfect. Love it.
I feel alien for enjoying all the motion and pointer controls in the Mario Galaxy games. The bubble stages, manta ray stages, and ball-rolling stages were all terrifically fun for me. And, I enjoy collecting star bits with the pointer, as well as using "sling pods" and other such things. These were all nice additions that changed up the game at the right moments.

I'm never going to get my HD remake compilation
this would make me buy a wiiu, Nintendo is being stupid by not doing it.
FWIW, NoA typically submits ratings for VC titles days before they're released, so I'm expecting this will be their big title for the week.
