Less than a day after the Wii U released Firmware Update 3.0, which brought all of the promised performance improvements to the Wii U’s operating system, Nintendo updated the Wii U’s eShop, launching the Virtual Console and Wii Panorama View.

The launch titles for the Wii U Virtual Console include Super Mario World, Excitebike, Ice Climbers, and Donkey Kong Jr.  The games are fully compliant with the Wii U controller, and will support controller-only play.  They also share a feature the Virtual Console on the 3DS supports, which is the ability to create a save state for your game.  The games range in price from $5-$9 US.  If you have already purchased any of these games on the Wii, the games will be automatically discounted at purchase, so long as you transferred all of your Wii’s data to the Wii U.

Nintendo has also released the first Wii Panorama View videos.  Panorama View allows you to watch a video in a full 360 degree view using the Wii U controller.  You can currently purchase videos which depict the flight of an ultralight aircraft, the view from a double-decker bus in England, and a sightseeing tour of Kyoto.  If you’d like to demo Wii Panorama View, there is a free demo available which includes clips from several of the videos which have been released.  Each Wii Panorama View video is sold separately for $2 US a piece.
