I just tried SMG2 from the Wii U eshop. It *does* use Wii mode, identical to if you ran the disc from the Wii U menu. So no miiverse integration or anything like that :(

BUT that might mean that Gamepad/Pro-controller support may be coming to Wii disc games in the future that use the Classic Controller.

EDIT: It's technically not identical to Wii discs... because Wii discs send you to the Wii home screen where you have to select the Disc Channel. SMG2 digital skips that step and boots you straight into the game. Hopefully that feature comes to Wii discs too.

Does it import any existing save data you have for the disc version or is it a separate instance of the game?

Good question, I'll check my Wii menu later to see if the save data shows up there.

Reply by Francis 10 years ago

yes, the same save data works with both disc and digital.

Does the game appear on only the Wii U menu, or is it on the Wii menu as well?

It only appears in the Wii U menu
