Wii U now allows eShop purchases from within indie games and ported apps

engadget:

Nintendo first shared details of its Wii U Web Framework at GDC in March, which it hoped would encourage more apps and games to be ported over, and facilitate quicker Wii U game prototyping. Fast-forward to GDC Europe and Martin Buchholz, manager of developer relations at Nintendo, confirmed that the framework has now been updated to include eCommerce support -- such as DLC purchases.

This is a great move
- eShop is going to be stuffed.

Sounds good the more content the better the eShop desperately needs it as it feels pretty plain at the moment. ;)

The Wii U eshop is amazing compared to the bare bones 3DS eshop. It's the only thing I dislike about the 3DS, the eshop just has old boring games that are fun for an hour, when they could sell amazing GBA & SNES games that would last days and weeks.
