Bower and Toad Wii Remotes are coming!!!

Oh, man. Seriously?! I already have 5 different Wiimotes (Skyward Sword Limited Edition golden Wiimote, Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi). And I feel like 4 is already too many. If Nintendo is still pumping out new Wiimotes they should also pump out games that use them. This is crazy.

The only reason I want four Wiimotes is because I no longer own a Wii, so vWii on the Wii U is the only way I can play Wii games. And I really want to be able to play Project M with four players.

I have the Skyward Sword wiimote plus and a regular white wiimote plus, and that's it.

so those are some games we can use the wii remotes for

Good thing I already have those on disc...

Nintendo is very sneaky, though. Instead of fixing vWii they make us buy eShop versions of Wii games with GamePad support, etc. that should've been there from day 1.

Any idea if they'll have increased resolution in these eShop versions? If not, I have no reason to buy them.

Also, I'm really hoping this means they will indeed bake Wii software into the Wii U menu, instead of making us go to vWii's menu. But then I'd be scared for the future of vWii homebrew... I don't want to lose Project M!

If we're lucky, they won't mess with vWii on older Wii U consoles.

I doubt they will. But I'd really like to NOT have to buy another original Wii. I left mine with my ex when I moved so she would have something to play (I felt bad about 95% of the gaming items belonging to me), since I didn't think I'd ever need it again.

I left my original Wii with my in-laws. My wife and I use it as the Netflix box when we are over their house.

It's just straight ports from the Wii but according to Nintendo games that supported the Classic Controller will be able to use the GamePad (and Wii U Pro Controller hopefully).

Sigh... So close and yet so far, Nintendo.

This is how Mario Galaxy 2 Wii U should've looked like:

I still use Wii Netflix at home on my vWii. I refuse to use the Wii U version until they add some damn profile support.

... There's no profile support? 0_0

Absolutely none and its going on three years since Wii U's launch. Its bullshit

Well then. I was going to switch to my Wii U as my Netflix machine, but I guess I'll stick with my PS3 and 360 for further Netflix use...

I just realized, with the toad one having red buttons it would be really good with one of those old NES style wii remote skins.

You would also want a black D-pad, but it would be great custom fodder. I hope they make cheap knock offs

 

[LightyKD]

Metal Mario Wii Wheel is also coming

I really wish they would make a damn Yoshi wheel.

What's that manufacturer? AEON? Can't find a website for them.

EDIT: This looks like the same company, though it seems to be mainly for press/investors: http://www.aeon.info/en/. Any info where I can check out all AEON accessories for Wii / Wii U?

Zero Suit Samus AND Toad fightpads incoming!
