Guys don't you've seen all the layoffs in the industry?
Wanting to have consideration and having discounts is great but wanting all games' franchises to be cross buy between Wii U and 3DS is stupid in the long term... even for us.
Devs will just end making the exact same game on both system.
I'm ok for Color Zen to be cross buy (exact same game on both systems) even if it means less money for the dev so I'd be happy about it but if I like the game I'll buy it no matter what (on one system only).
Pushmo on Wii U has different levels so it's like a big add on. Being free could be good for us but it wouldn't be fair to the dev regarding the work done. 30% discount was ok for me.
SSBM is even more different since both games are really different. it's like you were asking for Mario Kart 8 to be free if you purchased Mario Kart 7 ?!?
Also Nintendo games are already way cheaper than games on other systems even on day 1 and I prefer to have specific discount like the free game we had with Mario Kart 8 ^^
So of course Nintendo won't do it and I'd rather have two very different separate games with other discounts or free games offer à la Mario Kart instead of having the same game on Wii U and 3DS for the price of one.
I think even if Nintendo's choice doesn't seem to be the best to everyone it's clearly not the worst. I'd rather them concentrate on making the best games rather than making the best promotions so they can sell more. Their job is to make great games... great games sell. If you concentrate on selling games then how can you expect making something that'll last?
At least be happy that other devs can offer what they were offering for PS Vita / PS3 (even if it won't happen a lot anymore since I don't see a lot of games coming on both PS4 and PS Vita...) on Nintendo systems.
