it's perfectly reasonable for additional services?

..and here i thought the $300 spent an a system advertised to have cool features like gamepad support would have been enough of a surcharge. it's not like it's an upgrade to the game you bought, it's an upgrade to the wiiU's OS and when was the last time anyone has charged for OS support?!? nintendo can do whatever they want but the sheer fact they can discount the game means they know you already bought it means it is insulting to make you buy it again even at a reduced cost.

this is just bad business. nintendo's ultra fans make be able to justify this to themselves out of love, most reasonable people will not.


Except for the fact that you do not have to rebuy the games at all, and also the fact that Nintendo never falsely advertised that you would not have to pay for that extra OS support or GamePad features. Being able to take your VC games from the Wii and play them on the GAMEPAD is more than just simple OS support. You could never do that on the Wii at all, and you think that function deserves to be free? Maybe it could be free, but Nintendo charging for around the price of an iPad game for an update is hardly "bad business", especially when it's optional and you can still fully play your transfered VC games in Wii Mode.

 

This isn't Nintendo's ultra fans defending them, this is normal people speaking logic.
