Hacker gets GameCube games running on Wii U

Why hasn't Nintendo been releasing GCN games on the Wii U eShop yet? Seems dumb not to.

Do you mean Tom McShae from Gamespot? He usually gives games a "bad" score.

Yup that is the guy.

How much is half-price?  I think I will have a problem buying digitally from Nintendo's eshop.  I remember last time I tried it on the 3DS they had stopped accepting my credit card for some reason (country of registration I think).  So it could be a problem

Half is £6.99 but it's worth the full price, the game is about 15 hours and has the production values of a full retail game.

I don't know first hand but a good friend of mine told me that the PES games (i don't know which one in particular) on Wii were hugely innovative in terms of new and fun ways to play with the remote ... over the stale PS360 counterparts.  I don't know if they sold very badly or something and Konami feels it's Nintendo's fault or whatever.

Played a bit more Mario on the U today.  A little bit disappointed with the UPad range.  It doesn't work when I go to my bed and it doesn't work when I'm on the bog (and I live in a fairly small flat).  So remote play  or whatever they call it is not much use to me which is sad because it's kind of fun to play on the pad alone

On PES, I think you're right for the first one but I'm not sure people have an appetite for more of the same soccer sequels on Nintendo systems. I'm certainly not interested. I see the guys who repeatedly buy each years sports release as not really wanting the deeper features that some of these devs have enabled with Wii/U, they just want to be able to boot it up and play it easily without all the extra stuff.

On the gamepad thing I found a workaround, Wii U is so light and off screen you don't want/need the sensor bar or HDMI for off screen play. So just move it a bit closer to the room you sleep in before you go to bed, it only takes a minute. And then of course you just use the power down button on the pad to remotely turn it off, you never have to leave bed.

Why are you playing NSMB though bro?

Best to worst from my collection:

• Lego City
• NFS Most Wanted
• Trine 2 Directors Cut
• Zombi U
• NSMB U
• Nintendoland
• Wii Street U - if you've travelled this is essential and free
• Little Inferno
• Mighty Switch Force
• Assasins Creed 3

I will start LEGO as well very soon.  I won't wait until I finish Mario, I think I'd like to play them both in parallel.  I will try to do Street U today.  Have been putting off doing the Nintendo ID thing it's been asking me because I feel lazy.  Will try to get it done today so I can add you guys' friend codes (or whatever is the equivalent of a friend code this time)
