It would be like me buying my favorite band's albums, then trying to complain they owe me a free ticket to a concert because I already bought their songs. People bought VC games to play them on the Wii, not the Wii U, and Nintendo is not obliged to tack on any additional features when you port them over, only the ability to play them.

One thing I hate is seeing people say things like, "I HAZ 30 VIRTULE CONSUOL GAMEZ, NOW ITTA COST 30 DOLLAZ TO PLAY THEM RYTE!". My response to that is, "Do you really need all of your VC games playable on the Gamepad? How many of them do you really play that often to justify spending your hard-earned dollar bill on for a few extra features that don't effect gameplay one bit? I bet most NES games people downloaded and played once or twice, then completely forgot about.

Think of the upgrade like DLC, and it completely makes sense.
