Good call on the VC guys! (updated OP)

Automatic updates... and WiiConnect24 is back?

Didn't WiiConnect24 have something to do with gifting games?  You can't gift games (even Wii shop channel games) on Wii U due to not having WiiConnect24?  Not sure but it is weird that you can't gift games on 3DS or Wii U eshops.

It ruined the past VGC Secret Santa for me since I couldn't participate because I did the Wii - Wii U transfer before the holidays.

No, that was just the Wii Shop. Remember that the WiiConnect24 was a Wii feature that left your internet connection on when you turned off your console, leaving it on a special standby mode. You could received messages while the system was off, and got alerted of notifications via the blue disc flashes.

It evolved to SpotPass on the 3DS and is returning to the WiiU going by "new standby feature that downloads and installs content while the system is turned off".

Dont forget the automatic DL & update of titles.. about damn time! thank you! :)
