Who's going to pay money just to get rid of the minor inconvenience of booting into Wii mode? This is especially bad for those that have a large Wii VC collection.

I keep hearing that if you have virtual console games from the Wii that you can pay a small payment and be able to play them using the Gamepad. Do these gave then go to your Wii U dashboard? And if so, is this available currently?

Yes they go to your Wii U menu. It will be available on Friday but you have to wait for each game to release on the eShop.

No what I read was if you already bought the games on the original Wii then you can pay like $1 and transfer them to the Wii U interface

...and Oreo told you what actually is the case. If you transfer your Wii data using the Wii U transfer utility, it will bring your Virtual console games over to the Wii mode of the Wii U. Once the titles you own on the Wii are released on the Wii U eShop, you can repurchase them for $1-$1.50.

I'm just keeping them on my Wii. Gives my Wii a reason to stick around, since they aren't worth much resold.

[QUOTE="rubber-chicken"]You have to pay extra to play your owned VC games on the Gamepad?rubber-chicken

Yes because they are on the Wii side of the system; I would gladly pay I can't stand having to start Wii Mode and some of my Wii VC games I can't play because I never purchased a Classic controller since I don't like things attached to my Wii Remote and killing my batteries.

Do we know if this will be an ongoing payment or just a one time thing? And how much?

It is $1.00 for NES games and $1.50 for SNES games; Don't know the price yet for N64 titles.

Edit* I forgot the Decimel Point.
