If you register your copy of Mario Kart 8 before 31 July, you receive a download code for a free game. North America can pick from New Super Mario Bros. U, Pikmin 3, Wii Party U, or The Wind Waker HD. (Europe gets several additional options.)

Catch my drift.

The Smash Bros game is definitely going to be great, but due to the 3DS version releasing earlier, the Wii U version will inevitably lose some of its thunder. So they'd better be pushing for bundles hard.

Catch my drift.

I don't know if bundles will sell more Wii U's. The majority of people who want one should have one by now, unless they are waiting for the new Smash Bros.

I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives.

Here's a little mockup of the announced GameCube-inspired Wired Fight Pad controller. No real pics yet.

Catch my drift.

Big news yesterday was GameCube controller compatibility for the upcoming Smash Bros game (as far as I know, not the new controller). A new adapter allows plugging in of up to 4 standard GCN controllers. The announcement was met with a lot of enthusiasm. Seeing as many people don't own GameCube controllers anymore, I expect this means the old controllers will return to shelves, and/or they will be packaged with the adapter.

Catch my drift.

Brain Age is the first DS software to make it to the Wii U Virtual Console in Japan. One small step...

Catch my drift.

Aha. There will be Smash Bros Wii U bundles including the game disc, one GameCube controller, and an adapter. This package is to cost US$99.

Catch my drift.

Which Smash Bros. is coming out first?

I'm back, I guess. Whatever.

The distinguished FancyPants spake:

They stated clearly that the Wii U game would come second. It releases sometime between 5 October and the end of this year.

Catch my drift.

Kinda expected, it's just official now: Nintendo 64 games will indeed be coming to the Virtual Console.

Catch my drift.

In clarification, the GameCube controller + adapter combo will be compatible with Virtual Console games. Which seems to strongly hint at GameCube games, but you never know (that is, until you do).

Catch my drift.

I named my Wii U Shmoobly.

Moo.

Latest update allows system profile transfer between two Wii Us. Overall, that ability alone is not incredibly useful, although it's about time.

Catch my drift.

Shmoobly might be dead. The power button has a blinky red light and won't go out of standby.

Moo.

The distinguished luisjo96 spake:

Just disconect it, that should do the work.

Well, this is a little late, but it's fixed now.
I called Nintendo about it and as soon as I described the problem they said it'd have to be sent in for repair. I guess it's one of their more common problems.

Moo.
