I'm not sure if we'll be seeing GX on the Wii U eShop, mainly due to the lack of varied shoulder button input on the tablet controller. It's a minor issue, sure, but it just won't be the same experience.

I was thinking that when playing Mario Sunshine recently, a game which depends on the GameCube's hybrid triggers. The lack of analogue triggers on the Wii U is baffling, and I reckon it could make many GameCube games impossible to implement properly.


On that note, actually, I think the triggers issue is symptomatic of what is wrong with Nintendo right now. Specifically, they seem to exist in isolation to a fault. This has the benefit of allowing them to pursue their own developments like the Wii Remote and the GamePad, but it also means they ignore plain good ideas, like proper analogue triggers and a unified account system (both things which gamers take for granted these days).
