- TVii right out the box
- Nintendo's own TV shows available on TVii, preferably free (laugh at how bad Zelda was, watch the F-Zero anime, relive your childhood with the Super Mario Super Show...)
- Online multiplayer like it's normal
- Video chat as promised

More?
VC Playable on the uPad and Wii Games fall into the same boat
Nintendo rather replicate the tech than try and mess with it and not guarantee 100% backwards comp
Also GameCube isn't supported so not sure how it would upscale those games
I believe already announced TVii was missing launch, which is why I don't understand them highlighting it over online
The rest are pretty solid!

Have they announced how, or if, VC purchases on the Wii can be moved over to the Wii U?
Virtual Console/WiiWare titles (And saves) can be transferred from the Wii to the Wii U.. haven't announced HOW, but did announce that you would physically need both your Wii and your Wii U to do so like the DS to 3DS transfer

Also figured share the 3 games most excited for in no real order


The game has everything I want. A Saturday morning look and feel, lots of over the top action. And nice vibrant worlds.


Pretty much same idea as above. Nice, cheesy over the top B-movie feel. An open world game that doesn't take itself seriously (Why I love the Saints Row games)


Probably in the extreme minority with this
But this game just looks like a ton of fun
I love collections like this because still have friends who enjoy playing it with me!

With upscaled GameCube games, I meant VC ones. Assuming they're putting those out there...

Just imagine playing TWW or Twilight Princess in HD.

New Super Mario Bros U and Nintendo Land are definitely my launch titles of choice.

Maybe ZombiU, depends on the reviews.

It's cool they have so many good third party games, but most of them are kinda old at this point, and I think most people who wanted to play them already have.

Are these titles new announcements? I didn't expect to see them at launch. It sure is nice to have them on day one!

I wonder if Sing Party will be any good. Oh and have we seen/heard anything of Rabbids Land? I hope it's not a cheap cash-in.

Edit: what's your source? I can't find this news yet.
