I know the Wii U will play every Wii game, but what about the Wii features like the Wii Message Board? Will it be locked just to Wii U users or do you think we will be able to add Wii numbers in adition to the Wii U friend list?

I just thought of this and it's been bothering me, I hope they can find a way to make all the Wii features in Wii games work (WiiConnect24, installing game channels (MKWii/ Wii Fit Plus/ etc), DLC, Photo Channel, games that use the Forecast channel, etc.

Something else that's been bothering me is the Miis. I mean, they will definitely have new features like on the 3DS, but what will happen if we try to use a Mii with the new features on a Wii game? Will it just not show up?

So many questions!! Lol

Edit: They removed Pictochat from the 3DS and some DS/ DSiWare games used that like Yoshi Touch and Go, etc so its a posibility that they will just forget about all those Wii features and just make the games play... :/

Another question: Do you think the Virtual Console games will be updated to run in Wii U mode and with the save state features like the 3DS?

I doubt you'll be able to add Wii FC's to the WiiU friend list.

I'd imagine all those things you listed will be brought over to the Wii U, but it depends on whether it uses the same style menu as the wii, which was pretty good imo, so I don't see why they'd change it drastically enough to interfere with Wii channels.

My guess is that only Wii Mii's will be selectable in Wii games, but from a purely technical standpoint, there's zero reason for it.
I'm actually still confused by the 3DS Mii's not working on the Wii, they could easily update the Mii Plaza on Wii with the new features.

Lol, yeah I doubt so too...

and the reason the Wii Miis havent been updated is because the games would need to be updated as well to to read the new features. Hopefully the 3DS Miis werent designed like that.

lol, s is next to d.

It depends on how the Mii's work in games.
The vast majority of them just use them as an icon on a save file.

If the Mii's were loaded fully by the game, there's a problem.
If they just pointed at a file called "Nin10dude.mii" and let the system do the displaying work it wouldn't be a problem.
But looking at how the system menu was made, it's likely the first.

Yeah xD

What I underlined is exactly how the Mii work on Wii games. :/ That is also how the HOME Menu work on Wii games. That's the reason why in some games the HOME menu looks slightly different, in 4:3 stretched, or different sounds.

I pray that Nintendo didnt make that same stupid mistake on the 3DS.
