That much is not really disputable.

But I suppose there's no such thing as ''right'' or ''wrong'', so what do I know? It's a dollar. It's optional. The game is transferred over for free anyway, so the option to play in the fashion that the consumer bought it in (as a Wii VC game) is still there. You know what effing consumers up is? When you want to replay Rolando on your 2nd gen ipod touch but can't because you updated it and it makes it so the game can only be played on 4th gen or up devices despite the fact that it was perfectly playable on your device before.

You're confusing "rights" with "entitlements" Nintendo can charge whatever they want for their services, just like Apple and Sony.

How is it morally or legally wrong to charge someone for additional content that was never promised for people that bought the original content orginally? It's okay to feel miffed, but to say it's wrong from those applicable standpoints seems far-fetched. Edited on Thu 24th January, 2013 @ 02:43 by moomoo

Cheap gamers that refuse to support the products they claim to love. That doesn't apply, given that I've already bought the game, and therefore supported the industry. Try again. I was just playing. I'm happy to see you all fired up over a price issue.

It's not a price issue or anything like that, it's just that Nintendo's attitude towards digital transfers is embarrassing. Simple as that. Edited on Thu 24th January, 2013 @ 02:52 by Bankai

moomoo	235. Posted: Thu 24th Jan 2013 02:56 GMT @Bankai For what it's worth, On-Disc DLC is different in that the consumer has the possiblity of purchasing content they technically already own. That's not the case with Wii U VC transfers. They never owned the VC game on Wii U with all the additional features. It'd be interesting to see the legal ramifications regarding on-disc DLC. If a person hacked into the game and obtained the DLC on the disc, would that be his or the publisher's? He did buy the disc after all. Edited on Thu 24th January, 2013 @ 02:57 by moomoo

On-disc "DLC" is a bit different because you technically bought the disc containing that content. You never bought the Virtual Console games on the WIi U itself and were guaranteed the newer features right away. (On a side note I do find moomoo's question of legal hacking intriguing too)

Admin theblackdragon	237. Posted: Thu 24th Jan 2013 03:05 GMT @moomoo: that would probably fall under the realm of getting around digital lockouts, and it's not really an argument for this thread, I don't think. :3

It isn't and never was really yours. By buying physical copies you actually own the cartridge. The software is still licensed to you, but the cartridge is truly yours. So getting "DLC" content by tampering with the coding is not legal, because that code isn't yours and you aren't free to access or modify it. This applies to the topic at hand as well. You purchase a license for using the software you download or get on a cartridge (But it's another reason to prefer physical over digital. You truly own the disc / cartridge you have on your hands.)

Do you know where I could find that legal documentation? Now, I believe it's there. However, there might be some conflicting laws regarding the practice. When a consumer buys a video game, do they own the entire disk or parts of it? What constitutes what belongs to the owner and the publisher in this case, since for any other physical good it is very clear that the consumer owns the product fully. If a lawsuit occurs regarding a person hacking into a disc they owned to obtain locked content, I'll make sure to watch it. It's bound to settle that issue. @AlbertoC That's just it though. That "DLC" was already on the cartridge. Is it legal to get it or not?
