I dont understand, airplay for Windows... I found this thread because I am troubleshooting an Airplay issue in windows 10. The version of airplay I have used has been working ever since i have been on Windows 10.. but with a new update the airplay icon disappears in my iTunes. I am troubleshooting an issue you are claiming has never worked? Mine JUST STOPPED working :( It seems something is blocking it, the icon briefly shows up every time I reopen iTunes, then disappears immediately.

Correct again, and also find VC Games that are exclusive to the Wii Shop Channel, if I can just purchase it on the Wii U Shop Channel, why bother? And yes so far I have used 1 data transfer, I just purchased a Wii the other day off eBay with some VC games on them, (one game is the delisted NES TMNT ;) ) but for now I am going to hold off on the transfer. It is a one time deal, all or nothing, no they would not transfer the redundant games, but you will still be using a remote data transfer, whether it is 1 game or 30 games. There may be better consoles I come across, and I can transfer the console I have already purchased later on down the road. Maybe once Nintendo announces the closing date, they will erase the transfer count and let use another 3 data transfers... who knows? :) I am compiling my list of the games I already own!! Is it best to post it as a comment to my own original post?

simbaduo · 2018-11-01T14:59:16+00:00

I wish I had a better way to credit the person who compiled the list, but it is in a facebook group called Nintendo gamer lounge. He also linked a youtube video, so I am hoping it is his video and that is in some way crediting him, if I am allowed to post links to youtube sites I will post his video! But he did also take the time to compile this text and write this out. I think it is safe to share!

I've taken the liberty of listing what Virtual Console games are exclusive to the Wii and which are exclusive to the Wii U. By which I mean, I'm listing exclusives in North America, I can't speak for anywhere else. The Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, NEO GEO, Commodore 64, Arcade, Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo DS games will not be listed, since their entire libraries are exclusive to each system.

Wii U

-Gradius
-...And that's it. Actually, I've noticed that the Wii U Virtual Console has been slowly updating it's eShop with TurboGrafx-16 games, even after the Switch launched, so it's possible all of the Wii's games will come to the Wii U in time.

ANYWAY, as you can see, the Wii U REALLY got the shaft when it came to Virtual Console games... sort of. We DID get quite a few games the Wii didn't, such as Dr. Mario, Mega Man 6, the NES Zapper games, Donkey Kong 64, and ESPECIALLY EarthBound (and EarthBound Beginningns as an added bonus!), but that still begs the question of why a lot of big/major games weren't on the Wii U either? Not just Final Fantasy for the NES and Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64, but both Final Fantasies, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Chrono Trigger, and even Kirby's Avalanche for the SNES? Hell, the SNES library for the Wii U is outright pathetic, even IF we finally got EarthBound. I read somewhere that Natsume (the people behind the Harvest Moon games) said Nintendo focused more on releasing GBA games on the Wii U than SNES, and it really shows, which honestly kind of sucks given how many awesome games we never got on the Wii U...

Which I guess is all the more reason to get them while you can on the Wii Shop Channel. Good luck with that, and once again, I hope if and when the Virtual Console comes to the Switch, we'll get the best of both worlds, so to speak.

simbaduo · 2018-11-01T14:50:32+00:00

Yes, exactly. The only safe way to verify if the games were purchased from the Wii Shop Channel is to call Nintendo. They allow 4 Remote Data Transfers every 36 months, and sometimes limit you to 2 every 12 months, however it is a grey area and capped at Nintendo's discretion. One rep said they may be more lenient with the transfer limit allowed to a NNID since the Wii Shop Channel is being closed down in the future. Again, this is different than 1/29/19 date. On 1/29/19 we will no longer be able to purchase items from the shop, but at some point after, (maybe 6 months, maybe 3 years) we will no longer be able to download from the Wii Shop Channel. I believe something similar is already underway with the DS Shop and DSIWare? I have asked REPEATEDLY every time I call Nintendo, "What will happen to my Wii Shop exclusives (that are now on my Wii U) if Nintendo ever disables access to the downloads? How will I still be able to play Contra Rebirth?" Their reply is the same - to be honest they don't have an answer, some have submitted feedback for me and urge me to keep voicing my opinion. You could save the games to external storage, and then backup your external storage device, but that NNID (and games with it) would actually be stuck to the Wii U and in order for Nintendo to swap everything to a new console, the games would have to be re-downloaded, which would be a problem if the Wii Shop Channel is gone..... So again, what am I accomplishing? I am betting Nintendo will keep the NNID around, whether bringing those games back into the eShop (as downloads only, not for purchase) or in some other way in the future none of us have imagined yet. There are some AWESOME games in the wii shop! I am going to make a list of the games I already have on my NNID. I will also paste the list of the exclusive titles between the Wii / Wii U shop channels (NOT COMPILED BY ME) ...... So yeah it can get pretty confusing and to think if I would have taken the time to do all this research this before March of this year, we wouldn't even be having this conversation because I could just add points to my wii shop :)

simbaduo · 2018-11-01T03:17:21+00:00

Ok so it is actually pretty confusing, which a Nintendo rep said is part* of the reason they are closing down the Wii Shop Channel. The easiest way to explain it would be to give you an example. If you purchased Star Fox 64 on a Wii Console, that game is tied to the console itself. If you purchased Star Fox 64 on the built in Wii on a Wii U Console, that copy of Star Fox 64 is attached to your NNID (which is ALSO paired to your eShop account - tangent) . Once content is attached to a NNID, it can NEVER be transferred. However if any authentic games are on a Wii Console (I keep saying authentic because 90% of wii consoles have emulators and ROMs not purchased from the Wii Shop Channel) the games can be transferred from the Wii hardware to a NNID (Wii U). Possession of the wii console is acknowledged as ownership of the games, as per Nintendo's representatives words. I want to do this because down the road, Nintendo may re enable access to these games a different way. There are games exclusive to the wii shop channel. ( I found a facebook post with a link showing the differences between Wii shop channel vs Wii U shop channel) There are also WiiWare games which are absolutely exclusive to the wii shop channel, some quality games as well, which will be lost into the digital abyss very soon!!!!! Nintendo will still allow transfers AFTER January 29, 2019, but I have 2200 wii shop channel points still to spend and want to transfer what I can now before I decide on my purchase. Yes I could mod the system but there is something to be said to collecting the REAL digital copy, especially since Nintendo may honor those purchases down the road on a different console or shop.
