Firstly; no one is forcing anybody to buy anything they don't want, if people want to spend money on something then a smart company will make it possible for them to spend their money on it.

Secondly; some Wii games are downright hard/expensive to get hold of, Nintendo can and should, make them available digitally. It's easy money for them and makes playing games a lot of people missed easier and cheaper for the fans

Thirdly; people are graphics whores, past gen games can look ugly to the eyes of a modern audience

and finally, for Nintendo; the audience on the Wii U seems to me to be different to the audience on the Wii. Whereas the Wii was for soccer moms and retirees, the Wii U is aimed at the Nintendo fan; many of whom abandoned the Wii mid-gen. Making the games they missed easily available makes a lot of business sense. If you don't like it, don't buy it (and this isn't even happening yet anyway), we're talking about making a rare game available for a reasonable price, not horse armour, day one DLC, or locking vast swathes of a game behind a paywall.
