Wii DD (WiiWare) - A batch of these for now.
--
Snail Mail - $6 - The name doesn't sound good, but this is actually a futuristic racing game! I had no idea...
ThruSpace - $8 - Interesting Nintendo puzzle-action title.
Mr. Driller W - $8 - Mr. Driller is fun, I like the DS version.
Alien Crush Returns - $8 - The original Alien Crush is amazing, but I'd never gotten most of Hudson's WiiWare games. I hope it's good, though I doubt it'll be as great as the original...
Also I got the rest of the DLC for Mega Man 9, $7 worth. I'd only gotten one of the DLC items before, the bottom one on the list. I don't know if I'll use the two higher difficulties, but the endless mode is amusing. (I checked, I do already have all of the MM10 DLC, though.)
And I haven't yet, but I'll probably also get some more of the FFCC: My Life as a Darklord DLC. I'd never gotten any of the "pay to get more units and room types!" DLCs, but I probably should at some point... both My Life as a Darklord and MLAA King have lots of DLC, which is kind of scummy and that's why I never got that stuff before, but the farther you get into the game the more you need more unit and floor types than it offers for free... and it is a pretty good game.
On the note of bad Wii U design decisions, that the GC controller adapter only works with Smash (and PCs as a Gamecube controller adapter, with the right driver) is insane! Why in the world doesn't it work for GC controller support in Wii games that support GC controllers, that makes no sense...
And similarly, why does the Pokken controller only work with Pokken Tournament and nothing else? Why make a nice d-pad-and-buttons controller like that... and have it only work with one game? I'd get one of those if it worked with everything, like it should! The d-pad-and-buttons controllers on other consoles (PS3 and 360 for example) work with everything, because they're just regular controllers just without an analog stick.

Quote:Use a flash drive. That won't require external power and there are a lot of pretty large capacity ones available these days.That's definitely an option, but I'd probably want more storage space than you can affordably get in a USB stick. Looking into it though, there is another option, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Gol...ve+powered -- a Y-cable that uses two USB ports in the system, to add a second USB port to get enough power to run the device. This plus a 1 or 2 TB external drive is probably what I'll do. It looks like you can get some external drives of those sizes pretty cheap now, which is nice. A 1 or 2 TB HDD plus that cable will get a lot more space than that much money in flashdrives...
Quote:The Wii U's bigger design issue is the SD card slot is used exclusively for backwards compatibility with Wii software.Yeah, that's a really odd design decision. Why in the world does it have a SD card port on it... that you can't use except in Wii mode and maybe with Smash? It's just bizarre!
