Wii games have to use wii controllers because you have to go into "Wii Mode." These new downloadable games are for the Wii U (and aren't played in wii mode) and have Wii U controller support.
I read that they need the wiimote and nunchuck. If that is the case, I will pass on every Wii game that comes out.
I looked around and it looks like games that could be played with the classic controller (the twin stick controller) can be played with the gamepad. Games that could only be played with the wiimote and nunchuck still require them. It looks like this is the case for Galaxy 2
I've got 4 WiiMotion Plus controllers (Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and White, as well as 1 black Pro controller), so that's not a problem. However, I have no nunchuck, and I'm not really interested in spending the money to make these old games work with it. Does SMG2 REQUIRE a nunchuck? I ask because I played Sonic with just the controller, no nunchuck, it's just D-pad walking's a bit awkward in the 3-D parts.
It requires a wiimote and nunchuck.
I guess they assume most Wii U owners already have a Wiimote and nunchuck. It's really stupid that Nintendo sells them separately. Why would you want just the remote and not the analogue stick? Be nice if they bundled them with the console too.
They should have spent more money and redone galaxy one and 2, made it HD and converted the controller scheme, then sold it for $50 retail
I'd buy it. Twilight Princess would be another great candidate. It's already coded for conventional controls thanks to the GameCube version. The Wii U does not upscale and that game does not look as good as it could, even on my CRT HDTV.
Nintendo is slowly realizing that HD remasters can be lucrative.
why would anyone NOT play a game they WANT to play..because they don't want to spend $10 for a proper controller the game was designed for ?
I don't really want to play it that badly. Having to buy it, then buy another accessory, it makes it not worth it. That's like asking why we don't just say all games are $60, but if you actually WANT the game, it's $70.
