They should let people buy credits.. Then redeem them for the game they want.

Or Wii points. With craftfully engineered payment options and prices so that emptying your account was a puzzle where you always end up buying something you didn't really want.

Combined with star points in Europe, the loyalty reward points that you couldn't use for anything for years... And then they let you exchange them for Wii points, at a ridiculously low conversion rate, and you're struggling to use those again.
