Google Maps (with support for Street View) and TiVo are both coming to the Wii U, and were planned for release before the end of January, 2013. As you can probably tell, that has not happened. Both features have received a delay, but Nintendo has shared official statements on the matter:
Mr. Iwata recently confirmed that NCL [Nintendo Company Limited] will delay the release date of Wii Street U in Japan from late January to mid-February to spend some more time on final development work. As NOA announced in a Nintendo Direct on 12/5/2012, Wii Street U will be available for download from the Nintendo eShop in the United States in the first quarter of 2013.
…and:
Further integration with Netflix subscriptions and TiVo are expected in early 2013 in the United States.
At least it’s a fairly mild delay, and the features, while neat, are not mission critical.
