It'll improve once people see what it can do. The Wii U isn't weak, per se, it can handle games on day one that the PS3 and 360 took several years to master.
Are you kidding? I played Super Metroid for the first time two days ago. I got all the way up to Kraid without a map. Not to mention, I absolutely loved exploring in the original Zelda... minus the fact that I died every two seconds. There's room for old games in this society, even for younger ones like me.
I kinda like the Wii better, partly because of the huge game library (including VC games and Gamecube backwards compatibility), but the 3DS is still an awesome console. It's like the PS2 of handheld consoles.
(insert constant whining and moaning about the VC's lack of obscure games that no-one knows about and its pricing that is 3-4 times cheaper than the original cart and ignoring the fact that Nintendo needs to reprogram these games to work with the Wii U VC)
There's this thing, if you haven't noticed already, called the Wii Shop Channel, which lets you play your VC games without the need to wait for the Wii U VC release!
Take some notes, people. If Nintendo isn't putting the effort into making the VC launch stellar, they're putting effort into more important things, like improving the OS, attracting new developers to the platform and launching new 1st party software. tl;dr They have their priorities in order.
Remember guys, they aren't supposed to be kind gods that send down games on your own personal whim. They're still a business, and they need to make smart decisions. This'll sell systems for a system that needs units sold.
Look on the bright side; if Nintendo isn't giving the Wii U a Nintendo Direct, the Wii U will probably have more time at E3 where it can make more of a splash.
Fun fact: The reason why Mother 3 wasn't localized is because it wouldn't sell overseas. I think if Nintendo made a cool mature title, they could win over some US consumers.
If the Wii U is getting THIS bad of a reception, then Nintendo must've been planning this all along. Keep user interest low and then drop the bomb at E3.
The patents on the CD consoles need to expire first before they can make a clone out of them. I don't see that happening anytime soon, even the N64 won't have its patents expiring until 2015.
