In a surprising announcement Nintendo confirmed that 100% of the Wii’s digital library is able to be transferred to the Wii U console. This is pretty significant news as Nintendo’s major competitors can not provide the same service, for example the PS Vita can not recieve all of the PSP’s digital content via transfer.
Nintendo announced that the Wii U will be completely backwards compatible in terms of digital content, with transfer of all content confirmed. Unfortunately the Wii U can not play Gamecube games, which leads us to believe that Nintendo plans on releasing Gamecube games digitally on the Virtual Console.
What do you think of this news? Will you transfer your digital content to the Wii U? Let us know in the comments section below.

Monster Hunter fans will be self-pleasing at this announcement. Monster Hunter Tri-G will be getting a HD rebuild for the Wii-U console and will be released as a launch bundle in Japan. At the moment it is unclear whether or not this version of the game will be making it this way, however, when you consider it’s a Capcom game and the series’ popularity is increasing over here – it is apparent that it will probably will be.
The title has also been announced to have online play out of the box. Did we mention that it was bundled with a Wii-U? Talk about getting people addicted out of the box, ha ha ha.
Who here is excited for this announcement? Do we have any Monster Hunter fans in the audience?
Monolith Software, the guys that created the fairly cool Xenoblade RPG on Wii have been announced to be creating a new game to appear on the Wii U console. Not much info has been shared with us, so it is hard to speculate about what it could be.
However, us here at Capsule Computers are reasonably certain that it will be a sequel to the Xenoblade game that appeared on the Wii console. However, we concede that we could be wrong about this eventuating. What does everyone at home think about this?
Nintendo revealed during their Japanese Nintendo Direct Conference that a new Monster Hunter game under the title of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate would be heading to both the Wii U and 3DS consoles next year in March 2013.
That’s not all though, both versions of the game will be cross-platform compatible, allowing Wii U gamers to play against 3DS gamers in an unprecedented cross-platform feature that is sure to excite Monster Hunter fans.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will be getting a North American and European release around the same time frame as the Japanese release of March 2013.
