You have to use the Wii remote for it though, since Wii Mode uses the Wii hardware inside the system.Wii Remote + Classic ControlThis still makes me rage. Well, the Wii U is actually a Wii U and Wii. When you play a Wii game on the Wii U, you aren't technically running the Wii U at all. That's why you have to use a Wii controller, because you're just playing a Wii.

Quote from: RomanGladiator on January 17, 2015, 10:51:56 AMKind of related. Is the WiiU worth it? I want it primarily for the Metroid digital trilogy bundle that was recently announced. I only played Metroid Prime on the Gamecube over a decade ago and never finished it. I just have some questions:Is there a decent selection of retro games available in the Nintendo eShop?What is using that control with a built in screen like? Is it just a secondary screen for menus and items, or can I take it into a separate room and play Metroid on it? How big is the Hard Drive? I would probably get most games digitally. Is the pro controller worth the price? Is it worth getting it for just Smash, Metroid, and potentially Mario Kart? I won't be playing locally with anyone, it would mainly be for solo gaming.Sure it is.There's a decent selection of retro games available. Sega Genesis, Game Gear, NES, SNES, Neo Geo, etc. They don't have N64 and GC support ATM but it should happen soon. In the meantime, DS games are coming to the Wii U virtual console.The Wii U gamepad can be used for both maps (and whatever else the devs want to use the gamepad for) and off-tv play. With the metroid trilogy you will have to use the Wii mote and nunchuck, technically you could play metroid away from the TV (the gamepad has a sensor bar built into it) but it would be inconvenient for sure. Pretty much every Wii U game supports off-tv play without needed an extra controller.The hard drive is 32gb. A variety of external hard drives are supported.The pro controller is excellent. I highly recommend if you plan on playing Smash or Mario Kart with friends.It really is. Those games are ones you could play for hundreds of hours but I'm sure you will find other games you would want to play. Star Fox, Zelda, Splatoon, Mario Maker, and Xenoblade are all on the plate for this year and there's plenty of great games from 2013-2014.

The first two in the trilogy were on Gamecube so I was under the impression that I could just buy the Pro Controller and play them like any other FPS. So they're not adding any Wii U controller support at all for Metroid and it's basically a Wii U port with no enhancement?
Is the new 3DS worth it?
