Um....why are all the 3DS eshop games in the Wii U eshop now?
Um...it is making it so hard to find Wii U eshop games
Um...why did Nintendo do this?

It's always been that way. Littering isn't quite the way to put it. I'm sure there's a way to search for Wii U eShop games by themselves.

You've been able to look at 3DS games on the Wii U EShop for a while. This isn't new,

the switch is pretty cool.

Ever since I've been to the Wii U eShop, there were 3DS games on there as well as a form of advertising. Same for the 3DS, they have Wii U games on there.

Um...you can look them up normally, but they usually aren't found when browsing the all games or other sections
Um...right now there are way more 3DS eshop titles then Wii U titles in the Wii U eshop

She's right normally you only see new games or upcoming games for the 3DS eshop in the Wii U's eshop, but right now every 3DS game since the beginning of time has overrun the Wii U eshop.

How odd.

Give it time, Nintendo will most likely fix it. Whining on here isn't going to do anything, why not try contacting Nintendo directly?

When you go to search, mark the boxes for software that is only on Wii U(Wii U download, Wii U retail download, VC). It's been like that for at least over a year.

How do you see the 3DS games? When I go to the eShop, there are only Wii U games. They only show up when I search, and that's only if I don't specifically search for Wii U only.

Right now it's messing up. I don't know what's causing the issue though.

New and upcoming games yes and when you search, but we're talking about just browsing the eshop "not searching" and it's every single 3DS game available from the 3DS eshop listed.

I don't get what this thread is talking about. Are you talking about games that are available on both? There are alot of games that you can buy on 3DS, as well, but they are still Wii U games. i.e. Super Mario Bros. 3, the ambassador games, EDGE, etc. They are games available on both.

Nope games like VVVVVV, Pokemon Rumble Blast, and Jett Rocket II just to name a few.

I see what you all are talking about... When you push the button at the bottom of the front page? It's always done that, to some degree. Just use the search function.

I checked and it's very hard to find Wii U titles, in fact some are actually missing from the eshop "you can't even find them by searching".

Which games aren't on there?

It looks like Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge and Bit Trip Presents Runner 2 are missing now, but they were there earlier when this issue first started.
