GameStop is reporting a software tie-in ratio for Wii U that is much higher than its predecessor.

At the moment, GameStop has recorded 1.2 million pre-orders for Wii U games. The retailer was given 500,000 units of allocated console stock, which saw sell-outs very soon after consumers could begin forking over money for the system.

Based on the reported figures, GameStop is seeing a tie ratio of 2.4 games for every Wii U console. The statistic is double the amount Wii experienced as its launch was approaching back in 2006.

GameStop said pre-orders have been strong for New Super Mario Bros. U, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, ZombiU, Assassin’s Creed III, and Scribblenauts Unlimited.

Retro City Rampage’s release on Wii (through WiiWare) is still in the pipeline. When it finally does launch, players will be able to take advantage of a few control schemes.

The 2D open-world title will offer support for the Wiimote, GameCube controller, and Classic controller. Developer VBlank Entertainment suggests using the latter option over the first two, however.

A new Wii update is now available for download. Given its successor will be out in just a few days, this could be the old console’s final firmware upgrade.

Nintendo hasn’t officially said what the new update does. One probable guess is that by applying firmware, you’ll be able to transfer content from the Wii to Wii U.
