Couldn't find anything in the forums so I am assuming nobody has posted this yet.

Anyone for Streets of Rage 2 or GameCube games playable on the GamePad? Since Wii games are upscaled in 1080p I am wondering if the Wii U Virtual Console will have that feature too.

I never got the chance to play Super Mario Sunshine, let's hope they rerelease Gamecube games on VC for Wii U. I would love to play it on my GamePad while laying in my bed.

Playing the first two Zelda games again and OoT on the gamepad will be heavenly.

Hopefully if they are going to include Gamepad play they'll release Handheld titles for the Wii U Virtual Console.

Gamecube re-releses would be so awesome, I swear I'd drop like $150 on digital Gamecube downloads lol.

I just realised something, the Wii U GamePad's screen is actually higher resolution than the Gamecube could output.

So in theory games released on the VC should look better.

So in theory games released on the VC should look better.

The gamecube can do 480p with most games, and the gamepad is 480p. But yes, they would theoretically be better looking on the gamepad, but that would be due to anti-aliasing, higher quality textures, and widescreen, which not many gamecube games had.

Can't wait for this! Skipped buying gamecube games on the wii because I would have to buy another controller and memory cards but thus time I think I will get a few of 'em.
And I wasn't really a gamer in the GameCube days :unsure:
I have heard great things about Super Mario Sunshine and various other titles, plus they will probably look even better now :D

Y U READ THIS?...WHY IS THERE TEXT HERE? LOL WTF
