A list of the 20 most popular Wii U eShop games to date has been released on the Wii U's eShop.

New Super Mario Bros. U came out on top, with ZombiU right behind. Two indie games, Trine 2 and Nano Assault Neo, came in at third and fourth place, respectively. Of the five indie titles released on launch day, Chasing Aurora was the only one that did not make the top 10. Check out the entire list below.

Nintendo Land did pretty well considering a good chunk of Wii U owners get it bundled with their system. I hope those downloading it only got a Basic Set because they couldn't get a Deluxe Set since it would have actually been cheaper to do it that way.

I know we don't have sales numbers, but I think it is a good sign titles like AC and NG are doing so well in downloads.

It's also important to note that Call of Duty: Black Ops II is not available digitally, so that is why it is not on the list.

I'm loving Assassin's Creed III and ZombieU is a crap load of fun. I also like Super Mario Bros. U and Nintendo Land is fun as well. I am also always looking for more friends to add to my Wii U friends list so if anyone feels the same my ID is KITT_10K.

Who is crazy enough to pay these high prices? In the UK digital copies are being sold for about 15% more than hard copies. It's insane.

In the US the digital prices are the same as the retail prices, so they're a lot more attractive here.

Especially since it's often tax-free.

That is not Nintendo's fault, they are charging the RRP for the eShop games, retailers just tend to always charge less than the recommended price. It would be like if a retailer here charged 50 fort a game despite the MSRP being 60.
