Nintendo will cut the price of the Wii U when the last of the 30cent VC game promotions ends. Think of it as a rolling ambassador program. Personally I think they need to cut the price sooner.

Wasn't the 30cent thing just a 30-day trial rental?


Oh really, it's a rental?  Well, I guess that's one less reason to buy a Wii U.

Uh...pretty sure you keep them. Each title is available to DL for 30 days.

I thought it was ambiguous in the Nintendo Direct.

It's call the "30 day trial campaign"

They said "after the 30 days you will be able to purchase it at the normal eshop price".

That's all the evidence I have though.

Fine print on bottom of page tomatito linked... You can see here you get to keep the game. Just the special price goes away.

 

* After specified promotional period, each game will be made available in the Nintendo eShop at regular price. Wii U owners who have purchased the game(s) during the promotional period will not need to purchase the game(s) again at the regular price. Games purchased during this promotional period are eligible for 2 points in the Deluxe Digital Program. Point value subject to change.

Okay, so that clears things up.  Back to my original prediction that after the last of the 30cent specials the price of the Wii U will be lowered since this whole VC thing is kind of like an ambassador program for early buyers.
