Squid Odyssey will allow cross download for the 3DS and Wii U.

The 3DS release of Squids Odyssey offers the Wii U version of the game for free on the European eShop.
This cross-buy feature is the first on any Nintendo system. Popularized with the "Cross-Buy" name on PlayStation platforms, cross-buy allows for the owner of a game on one system the ability to own it on another for free. In the case of Squids Odyssey, If you buy the 3DS eShop version of the game, and have your Nintendo Network ID linked up to both your 3DS and Wii U, you will receive the Wii U version of the game for free.
I hope this becomes a standard feature for any game that is identical on multiple same ecosystem platforms (i.e. PS4/Vita, WiiU/3DS, PC/XBO ;) )
You say that resentfully, but you forget Nintendo has been Losing money.
Can't turn down yet another opportunity to squeeze another dime out of their loyal fanbase. Times are hard.

I like your last idea. It's kind of like paying $1 to transfer NES games from Wii to Wii U

Oh, I know. Times are hard.
But sometimes you gotta give a little to make some headway. Even though this game ultimately means nothing on a grand scale, the gesture of same game on 2 platforms for the price of one might potentially get more people to check it out as they feel they get more for their money. How many people are really going to buy the same game twice?
If they don't want to give it for free, then charge a small premium.
$9.99 for the Wii U ~or~ 3DS version. $12.99 for the WiiU & 3DS version. Like the Blu-ray w/ DVD &/or Digital Copy. The catch more flies w/ honey, by sweetening the pot approach.
