So I bought a Wii U because I wanted to play some classic games I never had the chance to play before. Specifically Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. I have never owned a Wii, only the Wii U. Anyway, the Nintendo website says both titles are available for the Virtual Console but I can find neither in the eShop on my Wii U? Can someone help me out? Do I have to have a Wii to buy it, and then transfer the data to my Wii U? Or do I just need a Classic controller for my Wii U to even make the titles appear in the eShop?
I am so confused, and sad if I can't play what I originally bought the console for--as well as many other non-Zelda titles I can't find in the eShop but are listed on the website. If it's truly not possible to play them without a Wii, does anyone know if Nintendo plans to release them for the Wii U Virtual Console as well?
