This.
I want to get Kirby for $0.30. I have to go buy a $20 card for my Wii U instead of using the $0.44 tied to my 3DS account. So ridiculous.
just pay the 30 with a debit or credit card

Huh?!
This can't be stressed too much!
I want to play Luigi's Mansion dammit!!!

What if he doesn't have one?
not having a debit card in this day and age is unfathomable and if he really doesnt then he could borrow one off a friend surely
Not everyone on GAF is an adult.

You can say that again.Not everyone on GAF is an adult.
Network maintenance on all Nintendo systems on Monday and Tuesday so I guess Wednesday is indeed a lock for the update and Thursday for VC.

They do see that, which is why Nintendo isn't forcing you to repurchase them.Not going to give them a pass until they see that forcing you to repurchase the same game multiple times is ludicrous. The Wii->WiiU VC charges of $1.00-$1.50 per game is straight up corporate greed.

it has to be one of the dumbest things i've seen nintendo do. they'll still sell new copies from adding the features. i can't imagine the amount of $1 purchases they sell will add up to anything significant. it's freaky stuff.
I thought virtual console was already in place? What are all these $.30 games I have been buying?

Impossible that they would give away such incredibly advanced capabilities for free, especially on such an inferior last gen system. Inconceivable. In fact I refuse to accept such charity without paying a monthly fee.

Automatic updates are a PlayStation Plus feature.You have to pay for these features on other consoles?? Background installing? Are you really serious?

Correct me if I'm wrong but background installing doesn't exist on any other system. Heck, last I checked background downloading doesn't either. Last I checked my PS3 sure didn't do either. Nor does it do standby installing or have a way to charge a controller while off.
I wonder still if Nintendo has a fee model coming in the future
glad these things are free but would like to see what a premium service would be
the only thing I hate on my Wii U is Nintendo TVii
the second thing is Nintendo Chat this one I like it have not hate for it like Nintendo TVii (which I hate because it does not work for me)
Video Chat is just not easy to use my only experiences with it is calling CheeseM in Japan which was really cool

I like to get up in arms as much as anyone but I just can't about this. You can transfer your old VC games from your Wii to your Wii U for free, which appears will not be possible on either the PS4 or 720. You can pay a dollar for extra features if you want, or you can play them the same as you always have at no cost. Also, it's a dollar. A dollar.Not going to give them a pass until they see that forcing you to repurchase the same game multiple times is ludicrous.

There's like 409 Virtual Console titles released on North America's Wii Virtual Console (not counting the ones Nintendo may have removed from the service).
Here's the breakdown according to Wiki:
NES: 93 titles
SNES: 68 titles
N64: 21 titles
Sega Master System: 15 titles
Sega Genesis titles: 75 titles
TurboGrafx-16/TurboGrafx-CD titles: 56 titles
NeoGeo: 51 titles
Commodore64: 9 titles
VC Arcade: 21 titles
There is also something else that comes out each month with PS+... Hum... Ahh, yes... Free full games .
Also, the same subscription and features work on both PS3 and PS Vita.
The bolded are the ones where I hope to see a change. There are actually more Genesis games on Nintendo's own Virtual Console service than there are Super NES-games! Including some (imo) inferior Genesis versions of games that were originally released for SNES as well. The SNES count should be closer to NES, and N64 should at least be doubled. And I can't wait to see how N64 games will look on the GamePad screen. You better include the N64 on the Wii U VC, Nintendo...
Yeah, true. That's pretty sweet.Nobody said anything yet about PSOne titles on PS4... PS3, PSP, and PS Vita... One purchase valid on any of those systems.
And yet they still lock a software feature like this behind a paywall. Just because they're offering you a wider array of extravagance as part of the package, it's still a paywall, just a more easily justified one.
Summer update also increases launching speed/returning to Wii U menu speed according to the January Wii U Direct.
which is great because people will still complain that it is too slow after the first update next week
summer update might bring another heavy group of nice features
The Friend List should either be removed or integrated into Miiverse. I shouldn't have to access a separate app just to see which friends of mine are online.
I can't even form an opinion because Europe still doesn't have it.the only thing I hate on my Wii U is Nintendo TVii
fingers crossed for folders
Sony is arguably doing far worse than that: they reintroduced PS2 BC by software, but will not allow you to use the games supported by the emulator even if you own the disc. No, you have to pay full price for them, not even a reduced fee as Nintendo is doing with previous Virtual Console customers.Also, some people might not like to be nickel and dimed for things. Only a dollar? Well, considering the price of the game and the features they add it feels like being overcharged. For many people the mindset with VC purchases is that you buy the content and if the platform holder supports BC or enhanced BC it is something they add on top of it on their own.
