Unless they've managed to do some kind of linking through your Club Nintendo account - i.e. all of my VC games are listed on my Club Nintendo "Games & Systems", and I've linked my Wii U to that account - then I expect doing the transfer will be the only way to do it.

I might be forgetting bits but they also go up to 25x25 in size (game boy screen size made that impossible), seems like a good fit for the Gamepad. Its a shame the picross NP games will never come out (though I think it was only the NP puzzles that were new and there were about 12 of those per volume, they handled it well as free DLC for picross DS...for non-European versions).
I believe it goes through club Nintendo, the Wii u has no access to the Wii stuff, when in Wii u mode does it?

They did go bigger too, yeah, which was excellent.
As for the NP game, I'd love to see those. Each one had a page of puzzles based on Nintendo games, such as Ocarina of Time and Mario 64. The crayon aesthetic was really cute, too.

No, but I'm assuming that when you've transferred your Wii content to the Wii U some kind of ticket is created/flag raised that can be used to identify what titles you have tied to your system. If they've got it working seamlessly, any titles on the eShop that you are entitled to get for the upgrade price should then be identified as such when you're browsing their product info pages.
They said "a day after the update", so, I dunno, ~18hrs from now?
Double the amount of games the rest of the world is getting. Lucky them.
Downloaded 'Tetris: Axis' last night, mostly for the Club Nintendo points. Gave some of the game modes a spin and was pretty bored, to be honest. Even at $10 it seems like a pretty mediocre offering, at least in the early goings. I suppose titles like Pac Man: Championship Edition have spoiled me regarding what a retro re-release/re-make can be.
I hate how Japan always get so much more than everyone else on VC, on 3DS and now on WiiU too (and PS3, hehe). I really wish we could see equal effort being put in for every market!
And why isn't NoA releasing Mario Picross?!
Oh god there's 4 games at least that I want. Tomorrow is gonna be an expensive day.
The existence of Tetris DS makes all other Tetris games appear mediocre.
The multiplayer mode in Axis is pretty awful, though. Crap items, and the mandatory snoozefest if you happen to lose while other players are still going at it
I'm the opposite. Not buying any 3DS NES games.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
Paranorma View available yet?
Also, why would you? If you wanna play them at home or in bed just do so on the 3DS. Other than not having Miiverse access, there's nothing you lose.
Remappable controls, homeslice.

Huge screen, Classic Controller comfort, customisable controls, more suitable for multiplayer. Plus the Miiverse.
That's a much better lineup, not that anybody wasn't expecting this. I wonder why they start with Mega Man 3, though.

I hope North America gets Mario's Super Picross this generation.
We aren't even getting Picross-e, Nintendo has abandoned us nonogram aficionados.
They only said the first DLC would be, along with the pack that includes it.
They are, and were released last week.
Europe even got Mario's Super Picross as an import on Wii!

Well if that's then not worth 5 bucks to you, I don't know
I'd be happy to pay the 0.99/1.50 to upgrade, but they only give the option coming from the Wii and not the 3DS, for some reason.

I still think this warrents a proper investigation as at this point. Did they release the Mario's Picross on 3DS? If they didn't it could be some sort of rights thing.
If I'm not mistaken America got Mario's Super Picross as free DLC* for Picross DS. Meanwhile, Europe got 2 packs of Mario's Picross and NOE forgot about it...
*-Its a shame the DS couldn't handle DLC well and you wouldn't see such lavish offerings of free DLC from Nintendo these days.
I never played Pure. I'll watch some gameplay videos then, maybe I was mistaken about it.
The problem is that I already have Mario Kart 7, I don't know if I'll play another racer right now.
They did release Mario's Picross on the American 3DS Virtual Console. I have it.
I am also very curious as to what's up with this ordeal.
I'd say just hold out until the eventual account unification happens (which might be sooner rather than later from what the little birdies are whispering).
It would suck if you jump in for full price purchases and then some 3-6 months later there is cross-play for NES titles or something.
Iwata has identified the lack of Picross as the poison in the American performance well and is taking over NOA to rectify this very problem. Believe.
I guess that if such thing ever happens, they'll do something similar to the people that paid 5 bucks for the internet browser on Wii after it stepped out of beta only to have it for free again: just give you the credit back (or a free NES game, I can't remember). This should be the same, if it detects you have a duplicated game it should give you a refund for one of the copies or vouchers for more VC games at the very least.
That's how it should be, yeah.

Upgraded SMW. Downloading panorama for the heck of it. Probably delete when I'm done with it. Question how long does it usually take to get the ddp points added to your account after download? SMW should have put me over 500 but it hasn't updated on the website yet.
I think 24 hours.

GameXplain posted a glowing video discussion on Mario and Donkey Kong 3DS:

I had 0 interest in this game before, but this one actually sounds like a lot of fun.

I wanted to download the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon demo and noticed that it's priced lower than other retail titles
