Confused vision: Wii U Virtual Console needs to deliver

"By now youve probably caught wind of the news emanating out of Nintendos investor meeting earlier this week that the Wii U Virtual Console would become home to digital re-releases of Nintendo DS titles. If youre like me, youre probably wondering why there was no indication of this for the 3DS. After all, wouldnt DS games be a better fit for the 3DS Virtual Console? The Wii U, which recently suffered a major reduction in Nintendos annual sales forecast from 9 million to 2.8 million, sadly doesnt enjoy the kind of following its handheld cousin has. As convenient as it would be to carry DS games on an SD card, putting DS games on the Wii U feels like just another example of Nintendo trying to add another selling point to their embattled console." - Patrick Kulikowski
