But in order to play them on your gamepad and have restore points you need to pay additional money for "additional features" with each and every VC title? Explain to me, thoroughly, how that is, in any way, necessary.? Coding and such. Peoples time equals money. You dont work for free do you?

PinkSpider	162. Posted: Thu 24th Jan 2013 00:40 GMT Proper annoyed mate, it just annoys me that I have to pay than the guy who hasn't bought the game yet so in reality I end up paying say £8.00 where and he/she only pays like £6.50. The prices I was just using as an example with the £1.50 difference Nintendo very unfair to people who have supported VC since Day One

Explain to me, thoroughly, how that is, in any way, necessary.? Best way to explain Wii Mode is that it is a fully virtualized Wii system inside of your Wii U, with all of the limitations and privileges therein. (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/guide/32537) You want to play Wii VC games? Then play in Wii mode. You want to play Wii U VC games you have to pay $1 - $1.50 more. Thanks Nintendo for giving us some options.

Burning_Spear	164. Posted: Thu 24th Jan 2013 00:41 GMT When I purchased Super Mario Bros. 3 off the Virtual Console in 2009, I paid $5 to play the game on my Wii. That was the deal. Now Wii U is out, and Nintendo is saying, "Hey guess what? If your Wii is starting to get creaky or you don't have room for two consoles, transfer SMB3 to your Wii U and get another five or six years out of it." That's a free bonus I was never offered. So why is it unreasonable for me to pay another dollar if I decide I can't live without a save state and GamePad compatibility? If that's an unreasonable deal, why then should I not have been permitted to simply trade in my original SMB3 cartridge for the VC edition? After all, I purchased it once. Why should I have to purchase it again? I should get the game preloaded free on every Nintendo console that ever comes out. And when I croak my kids should inherit the right. Hell, Nintendo should set up one of those funds like they have for the asbestos victims — a fund that will survive the company's eventual demise and pay for me and my descendents to play SMB3 until the Mayans' prophecy comes true. I'll bet half the people complaining have purchased a Blueray disc of a movie they already had on DVD or VHS; paid SIriusXM to get a home radio to play the same songs they already hear in their car; paid to see Finding Nemo in 3D eight years after they saw it in 2D; bought something off iTunes that they already owned on CD or vinyl; or bought a pay-per-view movie two Saturdays in a row because it was good enough to watch twice. Some of these people are also paying 14 bucks a month to play XBox games online despite owning physical copies of the games. Edited on Thu 24th January, 2013 @ 00:43 by Burning_Spear

YOu sir have just said what I have been thinking all of this time when people begin whinning about it. Totally agree with you.

I'm pretty sure the coders at Nintendo get paid just fine. If it costed a certain amount of money for all VC games being playable on the gamepad, I could reason with that. Charging money for every individual game is unnecessary. For people with a lot of games, the price adds up. And most people don't have that kind of money to be spending it on an update that should've been free to begin with.

Sorry but thing in life are never free everything has a price.

Because it utilizes features the Wii U is based around, i.e. Miiverse, gamepad use, and the activity log. Something I find would be very fun to take advantage. I'm so sorry I want to enjoy the most out of the games I buy and the system I paid for. Tasuki wrote: Simple solution. Dont pay and dont get the service thats all. Sorry but thing in life are never free everything has a price. System updates should be. They are on the other systems. Wii U should be, too.

Maybe you say "they want me to pay" or something that make easy to understand. Sometimes I am done with your shenanigans!

FOREST_RANGER	176. Posted: Thu 24th Jan 2013 01:13 GMT Golly geez. Perhaps the following possible reasons is paranoia of piracy, poor monetization strategy, or simply greed. Perhaps it's also possible that some games need to be re-worked so it can be optimized for the gamepad, since there can be difference in resolutions that scale horribly. I really don't know the reason, but it has to exist I won't be too bothered by this since I don't have much, but sorry about the loss for others.

As for me, I'll happily pay $1 for the handful of titles that I would actually play on my Gamepad

Do they charge you for PS2 games you already own or is that free? How about downloadable versions of PS1 games or is that free? This ridiculous comparison again. If you go and buy a physical copy of Warriors Orochi 3 on the Wii U, you still have to buy it again if you want to download it again as well. No one in their right mind would expect a free download to go with a physical copy purchase (though Sony is doing even that now). I can download a copy of Final Fantasy VII off the PSN and play it on my PS3, Vita, and PSP. No extra charge, and I can take advantage of each console's features. For free. With Nintendo though, I have had to buy three copies of Balloon Fight. If you can't see the difference then you're really not trying. Edited on Thu 24th January, 2013 @ 01:22 by Bankai

Just cause one company does something one way everyone has to do it that way? Actually the point is that Microsoft, Sony, Apple and Valve all do the same thing (free transfer of games between devices, once you've paid for the license) Nintendo's the odd one out (gimme money or you're stuck playing it without the funky new features of the Wii U). So either Nintendo is so far behind the rest of the pack in terms of the digital age that it can't offer a service that everyone else can, or it's gouging. Which is it?
