I have to agree..not only are they re-starting the entire availability of the games..they are over charging for most of the games...epic fail for Greedtendo on that part. I have owned every Nintendo system since NES...I love the games they make, but some of the stuff they do just generates ill will.

I'm totally fine with paying to get an updated version. I own A LOT of VC titles and, after transferring all content to my Wii U I can still use it but never as comfortable as just using the gamepad. SMW looks and plays great. I hope Nintendo to fill the gap of few releases with the huge VC they have and the 3rd parties who supported last gen.

I was against them recharging at first too, I still think it's a bit lame but it is what it is. I already re-downloaded Kirby and Punch Out so I'm part of the problem!! :P ... But that's only been a total of 60 cents spent so no biggy. Once this period of sales is over I won't be buying as many probably. Also, now that I have a great appreciation for how much MiiVerse really adds to these old games it is a bit more justifiable. It is great chatting with the community about classic games. And it really is a great community.

I never bought any VC games on my Wii so I am glad I waited and now I can play them on my gamepad in bed. Sweet. For those complaining about rebuying the titles, you are not making any sense. It's a 20% fee for new programming and to be able to play on the gamepad. I think it is a great deal. To each there own.

@ TX. Haha, if anything I am a PS fanboy. However, I can't deny that SNES is my favorite console of all time. I guess I'm just saying that somebody did work to upscale the games and allow gamepad functionality and at $1 or $1.50 a pop it seems to be an ok deal. I would not feel ripped off had I purchased these on the Wii.

So speaking of the weak-ass wii u vc that's been coming out, are they going to be releasing any worthwhile games on it this week? Or is this a once in a blue-moon, we just might give you some scraps, kind of thing?

I see there's no update as of Tuesday 5:30pm CST.

Updates are on Thursday... at least in the US they are. All I know is Super Metroid comes out in late May and I couldn't be more excited. I have it on the Wii VC but will happily download it so I can play it along with the community on MiiVerse.

If the VC games get full Miiverse integration.. that would be pretty cool and I'd think it's a decent deal, but only for certain games, haha

This! Honestly, guys. When you upgrade, you aren't paying to be able to play these games on the wii u... if you already own the wii versions then you can play in via Wii Menu! No, you are paying for the extra feature: Off-TV Play. What, do you expect Nintendo to give you the upgrade for free?

Two games per week just doesn't cut it. You're telling me I might have to wait months, if not years before the tittles I'm interested in get picked for release. Bleh!!

Exactly. Nintendo isn't making you pay anything as you can transfer games for free to Wii mode. You are also getting an updated emulator that upscales really well, updated e-manuals, Miiverse, restore points and remappable controls. Besides the money Nintendo makes off of this stuff can in theory go towards development of new games.
