The Wii U needs more Homebrew Game Ports. Why are people not making ports for the Wii U and instead the Wii?

In fact I got curious about it, here is the list of Sonic games that the Wii U can't (reasonably) play in one way or another:
Sonic '06
Sonic Generations
Sonic Forces
Sonic Frontiers
Sonic 4 episode 2
SegaSonic the Hedgehog
Sonic Boom Shattered Crystal
Sonic Boom Fire and Ice
Sonic Rivals
Sonic Rivals 2
Team Sonic Racing
Sonic Free Riders
Sonic Shuffle
Otherwise, name any Sonic game not mentioned here and I can likely tell you how to play it on the Wii U. Though I'm sure I missed a handful of forgettable lesser known titles (including mobile titles obviously).

Yeah but really the only thing the Wii U can't experience from that collection is a native widescreen Sonic 3 and Knuckles. I mean yeah, you miss out on the missions for those classic games, but otherwise all those classic Sonic games are playable on the Wii U, in native widescreen at that, again with exception only to (at least at this time), Sonic 3 and Knuckles.
I'm surprised no one has found a way yet to get the gamepad to work in virtual wii mode. I would love to play some wii games on the gamepad.

That, and also that many Wii U console's MLC's are dying so the number is decreasing slowly. At least until most owners find the achievements of some awesome members from GBATemp that have made an excelent "job" on reviving our consoles.
Hello everybody and happy new year ^^.
It's not easy at all to add GamePad controller support to vWii homebrew... I try to do it for a long time ago with Yabause and I can't do it... (If someone know that it is easy for him, please make that).
However, it'll be great that many people make their homebrew game and share them... But we need to learn how to make that... Where can we have an example to how make a homebrew for Wii U ?

Both GTA3 & Vice City ports are already on archive as wup. No direct link for obvious reason so don't ask. Just do some digging there. Search for Re3 & ReVC.
The Wii U doesn't have that much homebrew because it's the middle child. The Wii is a fun console to develop for because it's underpowered and nostalgic, and the Switch is better to develop for because it's the newest, fastest, and has lots more support from the bigger userbase.
-There's a barrier to entry for Wii U homebrew compared to the wii ($8 for a game to inject with CHBC unless that's changed) while modding the Wii is completely free
-The OG Switch is mostly free to mod (kinda costs $20 if you want an RCM loader) and it was able to be softmodded much earlier in its life cycle compared to the Wii U. The Switch was announced literally a week after the "Brazilian method" exploit was utilized to pirate games on the Wii U
Also don't forget that the 3DS modding scene was huge and blowing up while the Wii U was slowly dying out. All the devs were busy getting stuff running on the consoles that they all had

I know you have to create a health and health max variable. Then there is a calculation you use in code to subtract width size of the health bar. Google few vids. -
