Nintentails U

No. Due to it already released two months ago, it cannot be on the Wii U.

Am I the only person that is actually not surprised by this news. Stop being blind, an app is an application, the Wii Menu has always had apps, they were just called channels. The Old Xbox Experience had apps well before the new Metro Xbox Experience launched, Facebook, Twitter, Video Kinect, ESPN, Netflix, they were all apps. PS3 also has apps, Music Unlimited, Netflix, Hulu, BBC iPlayer, 4oD, and other TV content, along side Lovefilm, PS Home.

Consoles have had apps and I doubt Nintendo is going to be less strict because MS is not being less strict with the Xbox Apps and only allowing premium content, which is no different from what all these companies have been doing for the past years.

Just because store has the word app in its name doesn't mean its a game changer. The 3DS has an appstore too, I didn't hear anyone else get too excited, thats because people don't see it as an app store, despite it being one... and slightly locked down, which is expected for a console.

My logic behind why it's not going to be like an iOS app store is because I don't think Nintendo, or any games console could do it apart from Microsoft, its simple to program apps for the xbox as they're all written in C# and run on Silverlight. If MS isn't opening up then I don't think the WiiU have an open app store.

Well I strongly disagree because nintendo really needs a way to compete against apple and google.

maybe they should remake the sonic adventure games for the wii u. They would work like the original but with new features and better graphics.
