Well, it's not the original 1.0 version of the game, so personally I wouldn't buy it anyways, but sucks that it has all those problems you mentioned.

This made me wonder which version of OoT I own XD apparently I have v1.1

Also, I'm surprised you haven't mentioned the low brightness in the game as well, all the N64 titles seem to have this problem on the Wii U besides the input lag issue.

That aspect isn't as noticable and didn't really affect my enjoyment on gameplay-levels. I've seen VC footage of DK64 and there were some extremely dark parts, though.

Maybe it's the emulation? Super Smash Bros. U has severe input lag on the demos that you can play, but there's no input lag when I've played the same games on NES Remix. I think it may be poor emulation with Super Smash Bros U, while NES Remix it's hard coded into the game because that's the only way it could be done to allow you to finish them as trials.

Maybe it's the same with virtual console games?

The version emulated on VC is the GameCube version, they change some interface icons to make it look like the original, though you probably already know that.

Where did you hear that?

I agree. Buy the actual cart and an N64 if you don't already have it and play the game in it's original, intended form.

The VC version contains all glitch fixes and changes (such as the change of Gerudo crest into the one from MM) from the GCN version.

Why anyone would be paying for an N64 rom when the massively superior 3DS version exists is completely beyond me!

That's very surprising. I know their N64 emulator doesn't exactly have all of their faith, but to the best of my knowledge this would be the first time they emulated a Gamecube game on the Wii U.
