So glad to see smoothening is a feature.
Kamiya may not be quite as stoked... https://twitter.com/PG_kamiya/statuses/376972097471262721
Has anyone confirmed button mapping yet? The lack of a B/A > Y/B toggle killed the 3DS Ambassador games for me. Seems minor I know, but the way I roll my thumb when I play makes a huge difference, especially with platformers where you hold a button to run.
Sweeeeeeeet. While I feel like a chump spending $8 for yet another copy of Fusion (and MZM when it releases) I know I will be unable to resist. I'll probably consider nabbing Wario Land 4 as well.Button mapping is confirmed like the rest of Wii U Virtual Console
Looks like M2 are responsible for the GBA games on Wii U VC.

I still don't understand why they're doing GBA VC on Wii U
This, doesn't make any goddamn sense.
They are the best at making professional emulators.What's M2 known for?
Emulation wise all Sega's Virtual Console stuff and their 3DS Classics 3Dmakes. Also NeoGeo Station on PSN, Capcom Arcade Cabinet on PSN/XBLA, the later Sega Ages 2500 on PS2, the Konami shooter collections on PSP and a bunch of other stuff.What's M2 known for?

Huh, they must have rushed them out so that people wouldn't feel cheated with the 3DS price drop.I didn't have any lock-ups in the ambassador games, but the motion blurring is there and can be quite prominent in games like Yoshi's Island and Metroid Fusion, where moving distorts the whole screen, like it's running on an older LCD with a crappy refresh rate.

£6.29. LOL, fuck off.
Nintendo just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about GBA games (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like PSP games where you can become successful by releasing them on a home console. If you screw someone over in the 3DS gamer community, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the 3DS gamer community, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase GBA games on Wii U, nor will they purchase any Wii U games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Nintendo has alienated an entire market with this move.
Nintendo, publicly apologize and cancel GBA VC for Wii U and also Bayonetta 2 or you can kiss your business goodbye.
Wait, something gaming related is actually cheaper in in Germany for once? Yess.£6.29. LOL, fuck off.
Speak for yourself. Reading manuals on the drive back home from the shopping center was the best thing ever as a kid.But what I've always wanted more than manuals were original HQ scans of the box arts. Front/back/spine. Like, a fully viewable 3D model. Those manuals are an insanely cool little touch but let's be honest, no one ever really read those anyway. And since the manual artwork is apparently okay, I doubt it would be some obscure rights issue.
All VC games have save states so I'd assume GBA would too.Is there a save state for gba games on wiiu or just save normally?

"Chugs very little" is something I find hard to take as a positive. Will wait and read some more impressions. Really want to buy SS again though.
Dot-by-dot is pretty good to see. Scanlines would have been awesome. Oh well.
I'm happy that M2 is behind this. I just wish Nintendo would flat out buy them and just put them on awesome Virtual Console 3D Classics duty.
I would love a "3D Classics Super Mario World" so very much....
But yeah, these are such temptation.
Why would they add scanlines to games that were designed for an LCD screen in the first place? In any case, you could always hook up your Wii U to a CRT TV if you really want scanlines.
I don't believe that different hardware architecture is to blame for the lack of a feature that is entirely software.The reality is probably more like this:
- Nintendo has heard complaints that they don't have a truly unified digital contents/account system on 3DS and Wii U.
- Since 3DS and Wii U use dramatically different architectures, implementing such a system across their current hardware offerings would be incredibly cost-inefficient.
- However, because their future devices will be built on the Wii U framework, Nintendo is unifying their key digital offerings on Wii U to make it easy/cost-effective to carry digital offerings over to the new architecture when it launches.
Unfortunately, the reality is also this:
- Tons of people complain that Nintendo hasn't implemented a truly unified digital contents/account system.
- These same tons of people want Nintendo to implement this unified digital contents/account system on devices that were not designed to support it (even if it means sunk development costs for 3DS, since none of that stuff will get carried over to future platforms by design).

(Personally I'm not a fan, but nice to see an effort on that front)
Soo...how many hours until available in Europe?

Is there any word about GBA games in the American eShop?
You can't be serious...

More facts:
-lots and lots of people would buy GBA games on the 3DS and would be 100% satisfies with them running natively
