You know, if you're not interested in Wii BC, it makes next to no sense to get the more expensive version (if you get a game to go with Basic). I paid 220€ for my Premium model new, and didn't take long before I had to buy a USB stick, currently I have 128GB USB on it. Virtual Console version of Metroid Prime Trilogy don't work from the USB, so this is so far the only thing so far I've needed the Premium model.

Hmm I may have to research that a little then.  I want to get my entire previous Nintendo catalog on the Wii U when I buy it so I don't have to bust out my old consoles when I want to play old games (I don't emu).  If a USB stick works then i'll probably do that instead.

For the Wii BC the Premium comes with a sensor bar, that's missing from the Basic and I don't know if other VC Wii games launch from USB. For the Trilogy (or perhaps Wii games in general) the file size is the problem if the games don't launch properly from USB, as the Basic model is left only with 3GB or so of free space after system updates, so you can't fit Wii games in the internal memory. 

Wii U's Virtual Console pales in comparison to Wii's but you can access the Wii VC in the Wii mode of the console.
