"Why would you pay for something that you already own??"

So basically they remind us first of that time when they wanted to screw over the second hand market by mimicking that video, then ask why are you paying to play online :) Still forget to mention you need to download the game, for some people downloading 7GB takes a lot of time.

Now if Nintendo had any sense of humor they would do a video too.

He literally says "download" twice in that 48 second video!

 

A Nintendo reply would be awesome, though. 

He sticks the disk in and suggests that's it. Then "What if I want to play when I'm not online" "Once you've downloaded it, it's saved to your hard drive" doesn't really make any sense for physical games. I thought that was a dig to ps now, together with why pay for it.

At least make the video clear. They forget the best feature, easy to transfer save games over.

The discs download, too! But I agree. If I didn't know that, I wouldn't have caught it.

Yeah. Thing is a Nintendo video showing how to move Wii games to Wii U would take hours. :p

Yep, and you lose them on the Wii in the process...
Stll could be a fun dig, what about this game, or this one, that one works too? But since when is that all possible? Use my old controllers?

But yeah, the reality was that I had to sit through the lengthy explanation of how to connect / disconnect a wii plus dongle when playing wii sports resort on the wiiU.



I really like putting my disc games into Wii U and play them. But that's the first 'problem', i'll need a Wiimote then and so on.
Transfering digital games sucks. So, to be honest, Nintendo should better be quiet about that part. ^^

Like MS doesn't tell that i can't use my 360 controllers at all or that downloading every game might take a little bit more time than installing from disc did.
I have 6.5mbit/s, 7.5 on a lucky day. So downloading a 360 game takes more or less two hours.

Installing game data from disc and downloading the emulator data should take something like 10 minutes or so.

Basically, the best of both would be a perfect solution. Then again, each of em is better than Sonys variant.
