It makes sense for two reasons:

1. Nintendo doesn't want to cannibalize indie sales.

2. People who have already bought the games on Wii/Wii U don't have to buy them yet again, instead it is covered under their cheap subscription service.

I am somewhat bummed, but I can just play all of the games I have bought and played a four or five times already when emulators and homebrew hit.
