Nintendo not sure if you can play Wii games on the Wii U GamePad
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 Comments
Potentially, there’s a lot you can do with the Wii U GamePad. Most original titles will let you play the entire experience straight on the controller. Others are hoping that Virtual Console games will be capable of being streamed to the pad.
But what about playing Wii games on the controller? This is something that hasn’t been brought up before, for the most part.
Nintendo’s response to the possibility is interesting. Spanish Wii U brand manager Pepe Arcas said the following:
“We still don’t know if you can play Wii games in the Wii U GamePad. It’s not confirmed, we don’t have any information yet, but as you say (speaking to the interviewer) Wii U is… you can play old Wii games, and as you also said, the Sensor Bar is included in the Wii U GamePad, so you are able to point the Wii Remote at the Wii U GamePad. It makes sense, but we have no information or confirmation about this feature.”
Being able to play Wii titles on the GamePad would be pretty darn neat. Though, I can imagine it’d be odd controlling some of the console’s titles…
