I wish that Nintendo had taken the opportunity to roll out Super FX emulation on the Wii U with this Direct. Would've been fitting with the classic mode in Star Fox Zero and the New 3DS getting SuperNes related Virtual Console news.
I like it, but I'd of loved to have seen it taken just a bit further. The lack of animal sounds when the characters spoke made it seem weird to someone that loved the SuperNes original. And if I really want to get nitpicky, the classic crash sequence is something I'd of loved to have seen replicated, but instead it seems to switch to full Star Fox Zero mode when you run out of health.

Evidently, Gamexplain had the same thoughts that I did and wanted to see just how far Nintendo took it, since it's quite clear that they were trying to crash.
