It's probably enough to sell it at $10.

Both times that I know of Nintendo doing the standalone DLC thing (NSLU and Torna), the price point has been $30. If it were only going to be enough content to be able to sell it for $10, they probably wouldn't bother developing it to function independently.

Most of those ports were just bundles of existing games, so if you bought those games at launch you didn't have to buy the ports.

An entire game (or more) is a whole lot more content than you're pissing yourself over here. I'm far more bothered by MP Trilogy releasing a mere two years after I paid the same price for MP3 alone than I am by SM3DW releasing with a few extra levels 7 years later.

Exclusives on Wii U weren't exclusive for long enough for the Wii U to be up to Nintendo standards or even Sega standards.

Sonic Adventure 2 was ported to the GC (with extra content) 8 months after it came out on the Dreamcast. PSO was ported to GC 13 months after the release of v2, with all of Episode 2 added to it (plus some pretty substantial balance tweaks, including increasing some drop rates from literally millionths of a percent to merely 1/50,000), then again to Xbox 6 months after that. You had a hard enough sell for the "Nintendo standards" part, given how many examples I've already given to show precedent for remake windows like this, but bringing in "Sega standards" is just laughable.

The WiiU's exclusives were exclusive for the system's lifetime. That's all you can reasonably expect of exclusives, given that the whole point of their exclusivity is to sell the system. Once the system is no longer selling, exclusivity stops mattering. There is nothing to be gained - for anyone - by keeping games tied down to systems that people can only find on Ebay and Craigslist.

Demon's Souls doesn't have any new content that I know.

So the PS5 version offers nothing the much-cheaper PS3 version doesn't. Sounds like a great reason to buy a whole console.

Spiderman Miles Morales is sold at $50

Oh, my mistake. The point still stands, though.

I'm not being melodramatic.

You very unarguably are.

I bought a Wii U and several Wii U games for nothing

You bought them to play them and enjoy them. Which you did. I don't know why you're expecting more than that, and I especially don't know why you're acting like you got nothing when you got exactly what you intended to get.
