I decided to make a forum post for those wondering how well Nintendo is doing at supporting the Wii U. Its seems people are doubting Nintendos support and putting into question whether Nintendo has given up on the Wii U. I hope to shed light on the subject and ask for fellow Nintendo fans to help if they would like in discussing Nintendos support for their devices.
All systems can be debated, however, ill be focusing on the two most recent systems, the Wii and Wii U. Up for debate is games developed and published by Nintendo in America, also would like to include eShop and highlight in bold games developed by Nintendo, but those will require more time and i have errands to run real quick. First up will be the Wii.

On the digital side of things its a little more complicated, Nintendo didnt start publishing WiiWare games until year 3 and only devolped 3 by the same time frame of Wii U. Wii U on the other had more but a few are games that would be released physically, HD remasters with add features, and a greatest hits amiibo thing. So if we strike out the physical games we would get.
Wii eShop published = 14
Wii U eShop published = 12
Wii eShop developed = 3
Wii U eShop developed = 10
Seems like a pretty even match. Im sure Virtual Console support is pretty good also. Nintendo is very impressive.
