It may have changed, and someone may correct me, but I don't think you were never really able to transfer from the Wii to the Wii U, you got discounts on getting the same title on the Wii U.

Excellent recommendations. I'm not a big RPG fan, but Chrono Trigger seems to be a game for the ages and I've never played it (yet).

--- Quote from: Cartagia on January 14, 2019, 01:42:53 pm ---I would recommend a WiiWare title that isn’t available anywhere else like Castlevania: The Adventure Rebirth. You never know if they’ll ever legitimately be available again.

I'm really intrigued by the Rebirth series, but I can only afford one. And then that would leave me with $4 to figure out what to buy with.

Hm, I'll look into that. I hadn't considered any of these games having DLC.

You are partially right. You can transfer your entire Wii Shop profile, with all purchases, to the Wii portion of the Wii U. The Wii shops are identical. This will not be possible after the shop closes. If you wanted to have 'enhanced' versions of your Virtual Console games be available directly from the Wii U dashboard, this is what's eligible for a discount if you had 1) previously purchased it on Wii and 2) had transferred from the Wii to the Wii portion of the Wii U. Am I making any sense? If you have any more questions, it would be best to check Nintendo's faqs before it's too late.

Just spent my last 1400 points on La Mulana (WiiWare), Proto Man DLC for Mega Man 9 (WiiWare) and Bass DLC for Mega Man 10 (WiiWare).

Cave Story is an awesome WiiWare game.

At least you have (or had) 1,400 points to splurge on something a bit more worthwhile. I only had 600 points left and learned about Nintendo shutting the VC quite late, which meant I couldn’t purchase additional points. I spent about an hour going through a list of WiiWare titles and a few reviews, and after much deliberation ended up getting Kyotokei for 500 points, using the last 100 points on the Hero Mode DLC for Mega Man 9.

Wii hacking is a thing I’ve been considering for quite a long time, so I’m planning on getting another in the near future just for that. I neglected the Wii for too long that I unfortunately missed out on pretty much everything, so hacking one will be my way of "catching up".
