Were the 1st downloadable Wii games for Wii U strategically chosen?

Probably reading too much into it, but I do see where you're coming from.

I would love if this were the case, and they certainly do need to have some new things for E3. I really want the new Mario to be announced this year and not next, though 3DS could be next up for a new Mario game.
