Also, the fact is that most of the people who own a Wii U are the same huge Nintendo fans that bought an early 3DS. This means that they are ambassadors.
This means they ALREADY HAVE most of the GBA games coming to VC.
This is interesting because there are over 150 Wii U games coming from indies alone this year, and on top of that there are more coming on the way from other 3rd parties. I'm not surpised it is low, it just doesn't seem to match up. Might have to do with more large companies backing PS4/One whereas indies are more on Wii U. This leads to more employees saying "yes" on the survey to the platforms their companies support.
The large number on Vita isn't surprising given Unity support and such and indie success.
The small 3DS number is kind of shocking, but it seems western developers aren't interested in the platform, despite its popularity (tearing up the charts in all territories).

Re: Review: Stick It To The Man (Wii U eShop)
I like my games short and sweet so I'll probably pick this up. Reminds me of 90s cartoons!
Re: Video: Check Out This Footage Of Lost WiiWare Title Bonk: Brink Of Extinction
It was cancelled when Konami bought Hudson... along with all of Hudson's projects... Nothing to do with the earthquake...
Re: Sonic Lost World Hits 710,000 Sales as Sega Lines Up Significant 3DS Support
Frankly, I would appreciate if Sega released some of their HD PSN/XBLA games on eShop. I'd love to play Guardian Heroes on Wii U.
Also, I think they should do a House of the Dead collection with 1-4 + Overkill Extended Cut. I'd buy that so fast it hurts.

Bio Rex is a bro
Re: Video: We Put The Pedal To The Metal In Sega's 3D OutRun
Looks gorgeous. I can't imagine how much better it looks in 3D!
Re: Review: F-Zero Maximum Velocity (Wii U eShop / Game Boy Advance)
I just want F-Zero GX HD... stop teasing, Nintendo...
Re: Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure Could Have Been a Nintendo Exclusive
I hope Nintendo makes their own equivalent. I'd love to see that. Real life smash bro trophies, anyone?
Re: Australian Classifications Out Western Releases For Mighty Final Fight And Mega Man Xtreme
Dang, I was hoping Mighty Final Fight was for Wii U...
Re: Ubisoft and EA Lock In Their E3 Presentation Details
What does EA have to do with Nintendo?

Does Capcom have $80 million to spend?
Re: Feature: The Biggest Wii U Games of 2014 - Spring Edition
Bayonetta 2.
Platinum's action games always wow me!
Re: Star Parodier Removed From the Wii Virtual Console in North America
Im so angry about this! I was gonna pick it up but never got around to it. Now, without warning, it is gone!!
Re: Talking Point: The Logic Behind Game Boy Advance on the Wii U Virtual Console
Also, the fact is that most of the people who own a Wii U are the same huge Nintendo fans that bought an early 3DS. This means that they are ambassadors.

Re: Talking Point: The Logic Behind Game Boy Advance on the Wii U Virtual Console
Geez that top image shows just how awful the GBA VC looks... What's up with that gamma???
Re: Nintendo Shows Off April's Game Boy Advance Wii U Virtual Console Line-up
I wonder if the gamecube virtual console is still a thing that's gonna happen...
Re: Game Boy Advance Games On The Wii U Virtual Console Are Single Player Only
I'm still disappointed the games have such low gamma. Are they trying to emulate playing on a non-backlit display?
Re: Hardware Classics: SNK Neo Geo Pocket Color
One of my favourite handheld systems, ever. I still play this guy to this day!
I love Puzzle Bobble Mini, Ganbare! Neo Poke-kun, and Match of the Millennium!
Re: Advance Wars Bringing the Battle to the Wii U Virtual Console on 3rd April
It is still beyond me as to why the GBA games on VC have this nasty mid-tone grey look to them and never actually reach white.
Re: Nintendo of America Launches eShop Indie Website
Not very navigable.. and only shows like 5 indie titles...
Re: Monster Hunter is Ten Years Old Today
I celebrated by doing a bunch of hunts online...
Can't wait for MH4U!
Re: Yumi's Odd Odyssey Casting Into North American Waters this 20th March
$30 for download-only?
ehh.... I'll do it but I'm not happy. I would rather a real physical copy for that price...
Re: Latest PS4 Sales Figures Take it Past Wii U Life-to-Date Q3 Total
@2Sang I like the PS4 but I have yet to see or play a "must-have" game for the console.
I also really like a lot of the Wii U features (off-tv play, 35mm headphone jack, touchscreen, etc).
Re: Aqua Moto Racing Utopia Splashing Onto The Wii U eShop
@johndevine NFS, Sonic, Mario Kart 8, Project Cars, Fast NEO, 90s arcade racer, etc...
Re: Video: The Top 20 Wii U Games So Far - Part One
Mass Effect? Arkham Origins? Splinter Cell?
If someone bought a Wii U and saw those on the list, they'd probably run back to the store and return it!
I can think of plenty better games to fill a "top 20" list.
Re: Aqua Moto Racing Utopia Splashing Onto The Wii U eShop
If it's good and has good track design, I'm in.
Looks like the Wii U is shaping up to be a great racing machine.
Re: Video: These Are The Ten DS Games We Want To See On The Wii U Virtual Console
Lack of Elite Beat Agents / Ouendan is DEWSGUSTING

Re: AE Games Reveals Mad Men Football, High Impact Gridiron With "An Historical Twist"
Deliver a fun game, I'll pick it up. I'm much more interested in arcade-y sports than sims.
But yeah, really hire a graphic artist. Your logos aren't too hot!
Re: Kamen Rider: Battride War II Steers Its Way to Wii U in Japan
This is good news. Usually these types of games were skipping Wii U outside of Tecmo Koei's stuff.
Too bad I can't import it...
Re: Radirgy De Gojaru Website Shows Off The Firepower Behind The 3DS eShop Exclusive Blaster
CANADA RELEASE PLEEAASEEE
Re: Brand New Game Developer, AE Games, Shows Its Support For Wii U
Let's hope they have good games to back up their claims.
Re: Scram Kitty And His Buddy On Rails Is Blasting To The Wii U This April
Looks like it's going to be a couple of dry months before 2014 really gets moving for the Wii U... :/
Re: Pac-Man Museum Reportedly Cancelled on Nintendo Systems
What?
Ugh.
It seems you can't have faith in anything not made by Nintendo anymore...
Re: Hardware Sales Drop in Japan as Wii U Falls Into Four Figures
When there is no software to keep momentum, what do you expect?
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Wii U Struggles Bring a Challenge, Not Doom
I'm interested in seeing what Nintendo is going to do in order to keep the Wii U going and potentially attract 3rd party developers.
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th January (North America)
I feel sorry for the people buying Castlevania II...
Re: Silent Hill: Shattered Memories Was "A Great Opportunity to Explore New Ideas and Techniques"
This is one of my favourite games of all time. Really dense stuff. So good.
Hope we see more from Climax on Wii U.
Hell, an HD SH:SM with a few tweaks would make me so happy!
Re: Talking Point: Is The Castlevania Series Finished With Nintendo?
The Lords of Shadow games are an abomination.
I'll buy a Castlevania title when its a Classicvania style game or when LoS ends.
I'd love to see M2 make another game in the series.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th December (North America)
Apparently dungeons and dragons IS on sale we just aren't allowed to get on the shop and buy it hahahahaha
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th December (North America)
For some reason I thought some Wii U eShop games were getting discounted, chief among them being D&D:CoM...
Guess that was Europe only or something...
Re: Feature: 12 Days of Christmas - Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Devours Time and Pushes Boundaries
One of the best games released this year. Absolutely fantastic.
Re: Review: 3D Altered Beast (3DS eShop)
I love this game and M2 did a fantastic job porting it and putting it into 3D.
I COMPLETELY disagree with this review.
Re: Festive Monster Hunter UK Meet-Up To Include Awesome Nintendo Prizes
I want those felyne plushes haha
Re: Analysts Weigh In With Estimates for Wii U Fiscal Year Sales
6-6.5 million? between now and the end of January?
Is it just me or does that seem incredibly high?
Or does it mean 6.5 million total? Like, another 2.4 million on top of the already existing 4.1 million.
Because even then 2.4 million units in less than two months... I don't see it. :/
Re: Rumour: Cranky Kong to be Fourth Playable Character in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Watch this be Reggie's announcement at VGX.
Re: Super Mario 3D World Sells 57% of Its Initial Shipment in Japan
I'm really interested in how it did in NA.
Re: Poll: Nintendo and the Wii U Fight For Your Attention in This Busiest of Gaming Months
@RedRocBoy I agree. Nintendo has billions in pure cash assets, they should use that to get more third parties on board!
Re: Poll: Nintendo and the Wii U Fight For Your Attention in This Busiest of Gaming Months
9 million by the end of the year?
I doubt it.
Maybe 2 million?
Re: SEGA Working on Second Round of 3D Classics
Gimme OutRun, Virtua Cop, Gunstar Heroes, AB Cop...
Ugh I'm so excited to see what they'll release!
Re: Super Mario 3D World Underwhelms on Japanese Chart Début
@cookiex With massive isntall bases that dwarf the Wii U's current Japanese numbers.
Japan's current Wii U numbers are just over a million.
