-Doble post sorry-
This is a very dumb way of thinking, how is a way uglier version of Yoshi released 2 years later than the original would make anybody question their wiiu purchase? Is nonsense.
I don't think people would be questioning their Ps4 purchase if Little Big Planet 3 was released on Vita now.

It's a different way of thinking to you, You're just going to have to accept that unlike you most people are not happy with the WiiU, also that is a pretty terrible analogy in regards to the ps4.

How is that a terrible analogy? Two exclusive cute 2D platformers made of textile with the exact same scores on metacritic, you can hardly get a better analogy.
And your first sentence is questionable, we don't know that, I have 3 friends with a wiiu and all of them have been pretty happy with the console, cause if you go looking for Nintendo exclusives the console has a bunch of good ones and since the average gamer (those who usually don't go to sales forums) buys like 4 games per year, the lack of third parties is not such a big deal for everyone.

It's a terrible analogy because the PS4 is a much more popular and well recieved system than the Vita, meanwhile the 3ds is more popular than the WiiU.

And how popularity makes any difference at all for this? If you wouldn't feel Ps4 obsolete cause LBP3 is ported to the Vita then you shouldn't feel like wiiu is obsolete cause yoshi is on 3ds, specially when it looks like ten times better on the wiiu version which was also released on 2015 instead of 2017.

People don't like the WiiU so porting it's exclusive games (the only thing it has going for it) to a system that is much more widely enjoyed is a big deal.
People do like the ps4 so porting it's exclusive games (not the only thing it has going for it) to a system that isn't very widely enjoyed is not a big deal.
See?
But incase you didn't know the 3ds version actually has more content than the WiiU. It has every single level from the original plus additional exclusive levels. Other than graphics it is the definitive version.

That doesn't make the analogy terrible. The question essentially boils down to "would there be some people who would regret their decision for purchasing a PS4 if a certain game was released on Vita as well?" The amount of popularity is irrelevant as long as there are some people who bought a PS4 to play Little Big Planet and would consider it a waste of their money since the game is now (or, since this is a hypothetical, would be now) avaliable for a console they owned in the first place. The amount of popularity in regards to each console is utterly irrelevant.
Though for what it's worth, Goodnightmoon, an "uglier version" of a year old game could make some people regret it if they bought the Wii U entirely for that game. Chances are, if you're buying a Wii U, you're not buying it for a game that got a 78 on Metacritic, but hey, it's more than possible. So, no, it's not a dumb way of thinking, either.
(As an aside, though, I'm pretty sure OP was joking, so this is a moot debate regardless)

I thought i have Yoshi Wooly 3DS, brb.
Edit: New Yoshi's Island! (facepalm)

I don't see it because the best wiiu games are still 100% exclusive to wiiu and the ones with a 3ds version are clearly inferior, Mario Maker 3ds for instance is dropping one of the biggest reasons why its experience is so unique and engaging, wiiu owneres have a way superior version of HW, SMM or SB4 and a way better looking version of YWW along with a dozen of complete exclusives that are worth while. So I don't really see how some late inferior ports on 3ds is a big deal for wiiu owners at all, if something it can be bad for marketing purposes, but wiiu is on its way to the grave, so that's irrelevant.
