Topic: So no Gamecube VC on Wii U?

They'll remake the gamecube games to mask the fact that they're missing analog input.

It seems like a no-brainer to me.

I would rebuy most of the Gamecube games I've enjoyed if I am given the chance to play them on the Gamepad.

Maybe they can make it so that pressing the trigger once equals lightly pressing the gamecube trigger, and pressing it twice rapidly equals push the gc trigger down all the way.

I'd be down to play HD versions of Metroid Prime and Melee

HD Sunshine would be fantastic.

I still don't get why they chose Wind Waker. I honestly don't much care for the HD. The game was flawless as it was. Why not Twilight Princess, a game that practically BEGS to be HD, and one they even kind of teased with that Wii U tech demo?

Are the Wii U pro controller triggers digital too? Not all games took advantage of the GC analog triggers anyway.

I'm fine with Nintendo simply remaking the best GC titles for the Wii U. The rest can still be played on your GC or Wii if you really want them.

Even though I have the Metroid Prime trilogy for Wii, I will still be happy to re-purchase it via WII U VC. Same goes for Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion (which I had never beat).

Remember Nintendo said they also plan on adding Game Boy Advance games as well to their VC. Also Eternal Darkness trademark was re-issued so hopefully we will see the first game on the Wii U VC or something.

Actually they mentioned why they did Wind Waker. They were tinkering with HD graphics with older Zelda games, and Wind Waker stood out among them.

Fine by me.
I'm more excited about what they're bringing over from the GBA.

Hmm, The Gamepad and Wii U Pro controller have 1 extra shoulder trigger, so what if they made it so that when L is held down, ZL and ZR work at 33/50% while not holding down L makes them both at 100%? Very few GC games really require analog input, and most that do don't particularly use a broad range.

Nintendo like to milk their franchises and I believe they are afraid that, in many cases, people will only buy the most recent version of a game. As such, I believe they will release Gamecube games in the Virtual Console, but only after they release a large number of older consoles' games.

i'm not to fused if they make HD version of Gamecube games because i have a Gamecube to play my Gamecube games, in fact the only Nintendo console i no longer own is the Wii because i gave that to my niece when i got a WiiU

Not every Gamecube game will get a HD release, though. Super Monkey Ball, Viewtiful Joe, and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door probably won't- and those are some of my favorite GC games.

Without VC, they probably wouldn't get a re-release.

I would like to see Kirby's Airride on Wii U eShop for Virtual Consol™.

Just remember that nintendo recommends an External HDD for the wii u, and also remember that GC games are around 8GB. obviously this means something, nintendo expects to use those HDD's a lot in the future. if they can import FULL wii u games, I'm sure it will happen. it will just take time to make an emulator, I noticed just in super mario world that there is a slight lag sometimes. future updates will fix this.
and another note, its taken years just for dolphin to be able to emulate on a high end computer, I'm sure this will be a process

And while you guys are on the talks of remakes. nintendo specifically remade OOT because they wanted to give us the full experience they wanted back in the initial release. when they lost the N64 disc drive, they lost a huge portion of the game. I won't be surprise if we even see a MM remake. twilight princess was well in the range it needed to be in as far as graphics. people begged for a game like twilight princess at the original GC E3. TP was pretty much flawless as far as GC/Wii graphics.

and because I forgot to conclude with this, I'm sure that there was more to the windwaker that could not be implemented at the time because of the small 4GB discs, and now that there is 20 more GB of space on a single layer Wii U disc.....just multiply by 5. seriously.

I hope they will because I grew up on the game cube and there are so many great games on there. But I think they will cause the wii vc skipped the gc and went to n64 so the wii u vc would skip wii and go to the gamecube.
