It costs money to add Off-TV play and Miiverse integration and debug the game to make sure it runs before just throwing it out on the market without any testing. So to say they don't need to charge that much because all they do is add new controls isn't correct at all. Hence, they're releasing one game per month and not launching the Wii U VC until the spring. Even then, they'll only have a limited selection as these games have to be tweaked, tested, and added-to all over again.
$1 or a $1.50 to re-download a VC game that you bought five or six years ago seems like a bargain to me, with all the new features they're adding to Wii U versions of these games.

The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.
