If you like Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, then I have news that is kind of good.
Team Ninja, the developer behind the Wii U launch title, Ninja Gaiden: 3 Razor's Edge, is open to more Wii U games, but has no projects planned at this time.
In an interview with Joystiq, the head of Team Ninja, Yosuke Hayashi, said, "Of course, I think there are games that would be good for Wii U. So I think we need to still see what exactly those games they are and how you make a game for Wii U that is perfect for the Wii U. "

More Street Fighter than you can toss a hadouken at.
Street Fighter fans, rejoice! You now have a selection of not one, not two, but three Street Fighter II games on your Wii U! You even get a discount if you buy all three, although I'm a little puzzled as to why someone would want to own all three versions of one game. But, to each their own, I suppose. If that's not enough for you, then Ryu Hayabusa's second outing is available for the 3DS.

Smash Bros. almost wasn't the only Nintendo mascot-fest on the block.
The Wonderful 101 was originally supposed to have a cast consisting largely of Nintendo characters, according to Director Hideki Kamiya.
He said that he "got an order from the president of Platinum Games, Tatsuya Minami, asking [him] to create a game idea that had an all-star cast of Nintendo characters," in addition to other characters that Kamiya didn't specify.
