Forums - Gaming - The Wii U is backwards compatible, can play second hand games, no pay wall for online or DRM

So why aren't we talking about this more?



Around the Network

Because it can play second hand games but lacks first hand games.



First Wii game I played on my Wii U? Wii Music! I expect at least 10 friends to drop me from friends list now.



Because we already spent a generation playing the games possible on WiiU.



you're absolutely right! ..as far as i'm concerned there are only 2 next gen consoles: ps4 and wiiU.

You trying to say Wii U has no hands? Must have been blown off from trying to defuse too many hater bombs!



I don't know... People are reacting as if Sony is the white knights because they don't have DRM or always online - when Nintendo has the same policies in place, plus you don't have to pay for online.

So far Wii U IS the better console. All it lacks are power and games. And games are inbound - ND today baby!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

I don't know about everything, but THQ has certainly been done thanks to UDraw.



I wish I knew. With Wii U, Nintendo has provided us with all the things we've become accustomed to -- used games, free online multiplayer, backwards compatibility -- plus new ways to experience games and share those experiences with friends.
