I think you have not read how the transfer program really works. You do not lose your already purchased Wii VC games, they will be still there, you just get a discount price at Wii U VC games if you already have them on your Wii. So, for NES its $1.00 and for SNES $1.50, but you get to keep them on both Wii and WiiU,…

The program is for NES $1 and for SNES $1.50 USD. In my opinion, to pay for features like Miiverse compatibility, off-TV play, restore points and save file per user profile make the upgrade a lot more convenient that leaving my Wii VC copy in the dark ages.

The official service might go away tomorrow... but there is a homebrew project that will give some continuation to the service of some of the games:

I recall too that this has not be changed yet. Last January, it was a subject at the Nintendo's Corporate Management Policy Briefing. I just hope it becomes a reality this year. The fact that it is hardware based has prevented most of my friends to even get any Nintendo system and the ones that have, not even download…

If you have already made the transfer of your data and games from your Wii to your WiiU, then you will see its price as $1.00 on the WiiU eShop.

I did find the length of the game fair enough, considering that if you played Pikmin 1 you only had 30 to gather the ship parts and scape from the hostile planet. While in Pikmin 2 you could take as long as you liked because of the caves prevented the in-game time to pass and they were though as hell. Since I finished…

Hopefully by the end of June, that is if Satoru Iwata really wants to keep its CEO position and regain its 100% salary. Let's see what they present at the next Nintendo Direct...
