I've not picked up any of those titles yet...i was thinking of sticking with first party games for now. the ones i currently own that might be hard to find are the disc based version of New Super Luigi Bros U and Pikmin 3

Anyone else collecting the disc based products? Anything in particular people think might end up rare/hard to get for a decent price in the future? The main one I can see is the latest Project Zero game

Project Zero definitely, I already can't find it and I tried buying it like a week after release

Rodea the Sky Soldier for sure, especially the edition with the Wii game.

Maybe Devil's Third? I've seen it around a fair bit though, but it's definitely a curio!

sad times in Club U

Ah, that explains why Sega has been so quiet on the Wii U, Patty'. It felt odd that loads of Mega Drive and Master System greats were released for the Wii Virtual Console whilst nothing has arrived on the U. Re-releases of this type must represent relatively easy money for publishers so I can only guess that Nintendo's terms made Sega feel that it wasn't worthwhile. Which is a bit frustrating.

In terms of playing (legit) emulated games, the Wii remains my favourite console for doing so. They just seemed to look and play so well.

Completely agree - the Wii Virtual Console is amazing - all games look great - whether, NES, SNES, N64 or Megadrive. Really clear and colourful.

The only problem is the controller - I don't like the Classic controller at all (I have the original white one).

I too am not a huge fun of the original Classic Controller, AXL. However, the Classic Controller Pro is a bit of step-up; I find it a lot more comfortable to use.

Club U has been way too quiet! Here's a bonanza of news and thoughts to get the U part of your soul feeling good!

> Nintendo of America is adding a few titles for the Wii U to the Nintendo Selects budget range: Pikmin 3, Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze and NES Remix. I anticipate that we'll soon hear that the range will arrive for UK / European Wii U owners as well.

> Advance Wars: Dual Strike, the popular DS turn-battler, will arrive for the Wii U in the eShop on Thursday priced at £8.99.

> Minecraft has received an update to bring it right up to date with the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. Dat current gen experience

> I've ordered a dreadfully bad game! It's something that released last year to universal disappointment... with - IIRC - only one GRcadian admitting to have bought it at the time*. I'll post a photo when it's here

> Zelda Twilight launches on Friday! Are you gonna be diving in? Maybe you have the amiibo pack on pre-order... or you're planning a midnight download?

> Before all of that... it's Monday... the start of an amazing new week... which means it's time to gripe and swear whilst karting! Get ready to be really quite cross from 21:00

* EDIT: I've checked and there was slightly more than one...

If they could just add gamepad support to Minecraft that'd be great thanks

I'm genuinely excited.

Our hopes are dashed, Tineash. The game should have arrived in the post yesterday... and didn't. So it definitely should have got here today... and hasn't.

Y'all gonna miss out on the amazing Devil's Third :-(.

How will you manage to play that when you've still got Ocarina of Time and Super Metroid to finish?

Priorities, man!

I don't think he's played Devil's First or Second yet either!

Or Devil's Zero.

At least we know he's constantly playing Devil's Advocate

I for one am looking forward to jawa's Devil's Third Let's Play!

The people wanted it, Dandy... but, alas, the game has gone missing. Someone, somewhere has the joy of playing through my copy of Devil's Third tonight :-(.

But... but... but... this is just a temporary thing, right? That's going to be resolved, right? Right?
