was wondering if some of the top titles from the Nintendo 64 will be playable on the wii u

[jono]

Uh.... yes? VC games are transferable... unless you mean remakes? Or playable on the Gamepad?

[hodgerrr]

for example i would like to play diddy kong racing, supermario 64 etc... would they be purchasable from the app store.. havnt really come across much regarding this information on the internet.

They haven't disclosed all the Wii U eShop or VC titles yet. I'd assume old VC titles from the Wii would be available.

On a much funnier note...I misread that as Superman 64 and almost died from laughter.

I read somewhere that the wii VC games that you bought will be transferable to your wiiu. Chances are a rumor, I wish I could rember where I read it, it's one of the reasons I didn't trade in my wii for the wiiu.

Theres actually a cartridge slot in the back of the Wii U, you just pop in the N64 game and play away

You can transfer the Virtual Console games from your Wii to Wii U.

SAME HERE!!!

Yep, you'll be able to transfer your Virtual Console games ( along with pretty much everything else) from your Wii to your Wii U. Though we don't know how it'll be handled yet. You'll also be able to buy Virtual Console games off the eShop if you don't have them on your Wii. Though from the games you mentioned, Diddy Kong Racing is not on the Virtual Console. Though Mario 64 is, this applies to all other Virtual Console games as well.

Well, I don't feel stupid, knowing that I wasn't the only one who read that as Superman 64.

[Blue22]

They should make superman 64 for the N64 and not put it on the eshop.

It is pretty much confirmed that old VC games will be supported. With the ability to transfer games over from your Wii would mean that the Wii U supports the functionality to run the games, and since that would make their day 1 library seem so much larger and promote their e-shop.

It would be dumb of Nintendo to not do this.

I think its pretty much confirmed, I'm gunna replay Super Mario World on christmas best 2D mario imo
