IGN: Long before the Wii U was officially announced, Wii owners everywhere were already dreading the seemingly inevitable reality of having to re-purchase their Virtual Console content on a new system. And ever since Wednesday’s Nintendo Direct conference, where the Big N laid out its plans for the Wii U’s solution to that service, the web has been in an uproar. It would seem the months/years of pent-up dread has finally come bubbling to the surface, and it’s definitely not pretty.

You're joking, right?
"5 Reasons Wii U’s Virtual Console is Totally Fair"
Right. I'd like to ask when having a preference and isolation became mutually exclusive.
EDIT: Also this article is smack dab in the Wii U section of the site. May want to double check that.
"Poprocks what are you doing here, this isnt a nintendo article"
You do know the Wii U is a Nintendo console? :)
I don't know what you guys are talking about...your quoting me on something I didn't say
...right
EDIT:
Oh and before you say anything about a comment being edited. How could I edit something which was posted over an hour ago, you only get 15 minutes before your not allowed to edit anymore, we all know that.
but they also going on to explain what nintendo is doing is fair even though they like the sony way better
so hating just to hate huh?
IGN...something positive.....about Sony
Urm.....no they don't
They usually say how the PSV is doomed, how the PS3 isn't doing well, how the PS4 is dead on arrival or how the PSV was a disappointment.
It was edited, I seen your comment earlier and was scratching my head at why you said what you said.
You're a real piece of work, removing the part of your comment where you told me I shouldn't be here because "this is not a Nintendo article." Yeah, that's real mature. How about next time you be somewhat civil, a little mature and just own up to your dumb mistake?
Honestly, what did you do? Contact an admin? Hacked the website? Whatever. It's sad given that I'm not the only one who remembers it and you honestly thought you could backpedal like it never happened.
IGN does not have it out for any of the big three, and the pitiful "well, if it were Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo/Sinbad /Jamba Juice/whatever, they wouldn't be doing this" persecution complex is incredibly obnoxious.
Grow the hell up and stop making gamers look bad.
Your whining about people complaining with each other....not the actual article.
Your whining about people complaining with each other....not the actual article. "
That's quite the accusation coming from someone who has posted 5 times while not being on topic.
Nah, but I would expect such a comment coming from you after you've been made to look silly. It's okay. You've been bested today and look foolish, so it's understandable you would attack me and make excuses for your behavior instead of actually, y'know, growing up like I said. Also, love how the disagrees are probably from fanboys like yourself with a persecution complex. "Wah! IGN is attacking my favorite company, but they would NEVER attack *insert your hated company here*." ;)
if they have to write an article defending something... IT PROBABLY ISN'T FAIR.
Glad I don't own a Wii or Wii U. You're all stupid.
Your disdain with Nintendo only makes them popular.
Love these couple of lines from the article:
"Nintendo has the right to charge for the goods and services it offers. It’s called the free market, and it’s a beautiful thing. As a company (read: a business out to make money, not a magical, game-making fairy machine only out to give you free happiness) Nintendo has every right to charge consumers for a new service they’ve conceived."
Not in this case. The Wii games that were purchased in the past were not designed to work with a gamepad. Work had to be completed afterwords to implement their compatibility, work that costs money. So you can still play the games as they were intended to be played, through the Wii menu.
I don't mean any offence by this but your statement smacks of entitlement. It is akin to saying that if you owned a movie on DVD that you should be entitled to a free Blu Ray disc just because you paid for a Blu Ray player.
but haters love to cry and hate so much they don't even read the article just the headlines.
Fortunately, I would only want to play 10 or 15 of them on the gamepad.
So your hypothetical is a bit cynical.
surprise, surprise
I always fail to understand why these fanboys defend billion dollar companies. $ony fans are defo the loudest, they always feel they are being attacked by everyone...IGN, N4G, VG247, KATAKU, Gamespot and every god damn forum. They moan and bitch how "Anti" everyone is against $ony and there precious hardwares.
Im sure that all these $ony fanboys will press the disagree button to show there hatred towards me and report me as spam or offensive. It will only prove to me that they are nothing but sheep's.
Buy a console, shut up and be happy with it. Don't care about what anyone else thinks. Why is that so difficult to do.
About the only person I can stand on IGN is Jessica Chobot. The other people seem like a bunch of wanker kids, it's mainly the guys that are real idiots on that site. I remember watching most the IGN crew make some video on how they visited Tokyo.
It was mind numbingly stupid how immature the people are there. I asked myself several times why the hell are these bafoons writing reviews when they are about a shallow as a kiddy pool.
Not like I needed that video to figure it out but the Tokyo trip video really sealed the deal for me, I can't see myself taking most the people at IGN seriously at all unless they are fired and replaced. They act like straight up tools.
The way I look at it is as if someone murdered 30 babies and managed to save one, should I praise them for being nice enough that one time? That is exactly how I feel about IGN, great they wrote a decent article which is extremely rare.
Let's praise them highly for being two faced twats.
