During today's Nintendo Direct it was announced that a number of classis Wii titles will be added to the Wii U eShop while the need to run Wii titles through a separate boot up is being done away with.
The first game Super Mario Galaxy 2 hits eShop today, with Donkey Kong Country Returns arriving on January 22 and Metroid Prime Trilogy on January 29. Kirby's Adventure Wii, Pandora's Tower, Punch-Out!! and Sin & Punishment were also confirmed.
Interestingly all titles will retail at half price in their first week (£8.99) before the full price (£17.99) is introduced. An interesting approach that will no doubt see Nintendo fans rush to buy their favourite Wii titles or ones they missed out on in that first week.
