Nintendo never made shovelware. It's sad its become a buzz word where people dont actually know what it means.. I am curious why shovelware was never a big deal til Wii? It plagued PS and PS2 libraries. Blues Clues and Rgurats, barbie , power rangers, heck most of the Wii library was also on PS2 when it comes to shovelware. Rugrats series actually outsold God of War series on PS2. Then Wii comes out and those companies shift from Sony to Nintendo and its suddenly a bad thing? 

It just amazes me how people hate on something til its on their console or love something til its on another console.

What is shovelware you ask? Shovelware is usually where a company uses a cheap game engine and similar assets to make different games. Example= COmpany A makes a racing game. Its about Bikes. They use the same game engine and and models to make another racing game only its with 4 wheelers, then while they are doing that they also make a car racing game but it uses the same tracks, physics and game engine as the bike racing game. Now they release 3 very similar looking games from the same genre at the same time.

By same assets that does not mean "mario" and since they use him in another game its shovelware. That would be like calling every Sony sequel shovelware and that is not the case at all.

There's something even more decidedly wrong with the list: New Super Luigi U has yet to even be released physically in America. The idea that it could outsell NSMBU just by downloads from the people who bought NSMBU and overseas sales is ridiculous, especially considering it's been on the market for only two months as a DLC and less than a few days physically in Europe and Australia

Regardless of everything else, Injustice: Gods Among Us doing well is probably a good sign. Publishers will be watching every multi-platform title on the Wii U closely. The better they do, the more likely it is that the Wii U will get simultaneous versions, especially in the same genre.

As for the rest, Trine 2 performing well is very, very interesting. I'm not sure if it means that the current Wii U user-base is interested in indie games, or if they're very loyal and want to reward the developers of Trine 2 for saying so many good things about the system. Perhaps a bit of both. Or maybe it's just that it's a good game on a console that doesn't have many good games.

I do have this feeling, though, that many Nintendo fans will buy a Nintendo exclusive from a third-party publisher before they'd buy a multi-platform game. Why, I'm not sure.

Like the other fanbases, the Nintendo base usually follows good indie games.

Tank! Tank! Tank! is free to play (only three times a day). I already deleted it.

Cool thing is I own 8 out the 10 games for my Wii U on your list. All except for Monster Hunter and Mega Man X
