Important notice: You will need a Wii Remote (Wiimote) synced to your Wii U to be able to play this. Make sure you have a Wii Remote before purchasing this title or only buy it if you know you can acquire a Wii Remote to use in the future.
If you want information: it renders in silk-smooth 60-FPS (or close enough) in upscaled HD (stretched image, so yes, it does still look blurry, particularly on larger HDTVs). The title doesn’t natively run in Full HD. When started, the Wii U starts its Wii mode and launches the game automatically. When using the Home button in-game to exit the game, the Wii U restarts to exit the Wii mode.
If you’re not sure this is for you: First of all, do note that due to the way Nintendo’s downloads work, these purchases are tied to your system, and problems with your system (faulty hardware or even theft) will result in you losing access to those games. Playing this download is essentially the same as popping in the Wii disc of the game, but more convenient. If you’ve already played the game, and have the disc, then you should only buy this if you find the convenience a worthwhile investment. If you prefer not to spend too much money, then simply keep using your disc. In terms of money spent for amount of game gained, this is a steal at its discounted price, and could even be considered without the 50% off.
For those finding this after the 50%-off discount is over: The game is still very good and worthwhile, even at full price – but there is a good chance you’ll be able to find a used copy of the game in (very) good conditions for a lower price on sites on GAME or Amazon or your favourite local used games store or retailer.
I just checked, It’s not on the eStore.
Are you sure? Check again.
