This is pretty sad if I’m being honest. The original Wii had a larger VC lineup from a variety of consoles, and it was available from the start. The Wii U takes 5 months to get the VC running proper, and it launches with this small lineup that’s dominated by old Nes games that we likely have multiple versions of already. I love Nintendo but, in spite of small improvements, their approach to downloadable software is years behind the competition. :(

It may be a mysteriously small debut list, but I’m just so happy and thankful I’ll be able to play Super Mario World and Super Metroid on my Wii U gamepad wherever I please!!! I’m not going to bitch and moan like your average faceless whiny geek bitch.
