Your will.. this is only early beta.. for people with high specs pc's..  And even when emulators can run most WiiU games (almost) as good WiiU itself.. there still is no gamepad.

Nintendo do sell them (in japan) and emulators will eventuly support them.. but still.. much more easy and "full experinces" to just buy a WiiU
Why does it seem unlikely that they will get the game pad working? People with Wii U's can already connect their game pads to PC for basic controls.  it would then just be a matter of streaming the data over wifi, like the Wii u does.

"and emulators will eventuly support them" We agree.. :)

But you do also agree that we are in the (very) early stages of WiiU emulation.. ?

A lot of the hard work has been done. Having a fully running game is about 50% there in my opinion (and they are almost there.) Give it 2-3 years and it will probably be as featured as Dolphin circa 2013, and give it another few years and it would run well on the common gaming PC. Considering the PS3 and 360 emulators are so much further behind, it is very impressive. 

Yes also what I said.. :) (For a near.. WiiU experinces a minimum of 6 years sounds right)

 

- Even if we say (and this is not tatally sure) that they do get the gamepad to function 100% like on WiiU.. You would still need to buy it

- Then there are the online thing.. They may never get that to work.. or if.. it may be alot lesser smooth/good as on the WiiU

- Then there are the price of playing.. A gamer Pc uses much more power than a WiiU

 

If you are not a pirat.. theere is no reason not just to buy the real deal.. Its better/smoother/cheaper.. more WiiU.

Correction: 2-3 years for a superior experience than on Wii U. 1080p, better textures, bwtter shaders, and higher frame rates plus mods makes it better. Especially when we can probably assume the NX won't be fully backwards compatible(won't have PPC architecture.)

 

As for online, that is the least of the issues emulators face. Game aervers are pretty easy to make. Emulators allow games to be played online well after the official servers go down  and even allow things like  local multiplayer over internet.

 

If anything this emulator appeals to non-pirates. People who want to play their Wii U games long after they retired this system with better visuals and frame rates. Additionally the game pad is not necessary to play most games  and I can even see a sort of gamepad emulation for tablets. If DS and Wii emulation can be pulled off flawlessly so can Wii U.
