I think one way to alleviate people's dissapointment in this, at least for me, would be to allow people who bought the game on the Wii to upgrade their games before the games become available on the Wii U's VC. That would be a nice little bonus for supporting the VC on the Wii.

or, they could let you have access to the games in question years before they finally become available as Wii U VC titles. sounds like a helluva bonus to me!

I also wonder if the emulation will be better this time around. Will we finally see controller pak and rumble support for N64 games? Will the washed out colors of SMB3 (and other NES titles?) be corrected? I'm hoping yes. It would make the upgrade fee easier to swallow that's for sure.

Again, the ONLY problem I have with this policy, is that my Wii VC games aren't actually able to be saved ON the Wii U's harddrive. My VC games take about 1 gig of space, and it's frustrating that I can't save those to my 32 gig harddrive, and still have to use a damn SD card. I understand paying for all of the new features, but they could AT LEAST make it so you can have the data saved somewhere actually - that's a pretty minor convenience and would take no time to implement.

It just feels like their most dedicated customers, who spend the most money on games, are constantly getting inconvenienced because they chose to spend HUNDREDS of dollars on their games. Some semblance of customer appreciation would be nice.

That's what I meant. And if they did that I would have absolutely no problem paying the upgrade fee. Who knows how long it will be before some of these games get released again lol.

It doesn't matter. Work is work. You get paid the same amount of money whether you're working on par, or above par. At my old job, I had a 2860% efficiency rate compared to other workers that had a 60-80% efficiency rate over a span of 5 months. We all got paid the same ammount regardless.

The are providing "customer appreciation" by allowing you the option to purchase a license to play an enhanced VC game on your Wii U for only $1- $1.50 instead of the normal price.
Wii Mode is essentially a Wii in your Wii U with all the rights and limitations that come with what you agreed to when you purchased stuff from the Wii Shop.

er... you kinda missed my point. You've already had access to most of your Wii VC collection for years prior to their re-release as Wii U VC titles. That's your 'bonus' if you choose to pay the buck (or buck fiddy, idk) to upgrade to the Wii U VC version. :3

I wasn't sure if you were being sarcastic or not in your original reply, but looks like you were. I don't think my suggestion was unreasonable though. If I bought the Wii VC version of Super Mario World, for example, why not let me pay the upgrade fee now to play it on the Wii U with the upgraded features before it gets released to the general public three years from now? And yes I realize obviously not every Wii VC game is ready to go yet for the Wii U's VC, but I think you can see my point.

I would love to be a customer of the company you were running. I would get so much free stuff because you would bend over for all us customers to make us so happy.

Yes, but the fact that "Wii Mode" can't even make use of the system's harddrive is ridiculous, plain and simple. Sure, when I purchased stuff from the Wii Shop I was never expecting to have a harddrive available to save those games on, so I knew I would be using an SD card. Now, 6 years later, sure, they don't owe that to me - they aren't obligated to make it so that my games can be saved to the new system's harddrive in some way...

But it would have been SUCH an easy thing for them to implement with very very very little effort required on their part. I REALLY don't think it's asking for much, I'm being PRETTY reasonable. I am more than willing to pay for the upgrades eventually, and probably will, and probably will again for the next system if they expected us to.

But SURELY you can understand - I have well over $600 worth of VC games. The least they could do is not always take the easy way out when programming their systems so that my investment could feel a little bit more worthwhile. The way they handle these things doesn't really make me enthusiastic about CONTINUING to purchase digital content from them.
