Hi. Just bought a Wii U and am currently playing a couple of games I bought with it.

However, I'm not quite clear how to buy older games. I see from the E-Shop, you can buy some NES & SNES games, but I'm not really interested in them. I'm much more interested in N64 games, as that was the first console I ever owned. It seems that I can get a couple of them from the Wii shop, by switching to Wii mode. Is that what I should do, or am I missing something. I'd much prefer to be able to launch N64 (and GameCube) games from the Wii U menu, rather than having to switch to Wii mode.

Also, I assume that I can buy used Wii games and simply play them from disc in Wii mode. Can I play against other people who have the original Wii?

Thanks. A bit confusing TBH.
