If it was a simultaneous release, there would be no doubt in my mind to get the retail version. The extra $10 isn't a big deal. That was what I thought the DLC was going to cost anyway. But waiting 2 months? I don't have that kind of patience or willpower.
But dang, would that look nice next to my Super Mario All-Stars box.
Really, the only reasons to upgrade are customizable controls, GamePad/Pro Controller compatibility, and posting screenshots on Miiverse. And I have to admit, not having to break out the Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, and AA batteries is tempting.
@ngamer155 There was no need for name-calling on P184's part, but your post does ignore the bigger issue. Namely, the seven-month delay of a game that was previously only a few weeks from (an already twice-delayed) release.
I hate to be a downer, but this all just seems like semantics to me. Whether a company holds something back for DLC or creates it later, it's still another cash transaction. The latter is definitely the lesser of two evils. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but I would just as soon have no new content at all than pay for extras for fear that I'm "missing out."

Oh, cool, they're going to use the GamePad as a GBA. I loved the Tingle Tuner!

The Wii U VC is playing the games in their correct aspect ratio. The Wii just stretched the image.

Re: Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D Has Local Co-op Play And An Easy Mode
I'd love if they added more secret worlds based on Retro's concept art. I really want to play that Virtual Boy mine cart level.

Re: Talking Point: Five Reasons to Buy a Wii U
The dude actually wrote "numchucks" in his article. That pretty much invalidates the entire thing.
