Very very new to WiiU, just followed this thread and currently downloading titles while in awe. But I have a question. What if I don't see some titles I like in there (the reddit tutorial's url). Are there any more place/software that offers some more? Thanks!

I don't understand, Wii U USB Helper should have every Wii U game and every official non-Wii U game that was on the eshop. (such as Wii, DS etc...)

What title(s) are you looking for?

No, titlekey-based downloaders only "have"* titles that 1- are available on the eShop (there are some bluray-only releases) and 2- you can supply a valid titleid+titlekey pair for

* strictly speaking, they don't have anything themselves

Sorry, since I'm new to WiiU, I check on wikipedia the list of games on WiiU and somewhat scanned thru titles what I liked to try. Then I saw the walking dead and thought I've been a fan of the show for about 6 to 7 seasons I would like to try that title and I couldn't find it, thus I ended up asking the question. Thanks!

Yeah I was wrong I thought every game was on there but it's not the case however most are.

Personally advice though stay far away from Walking Dead Survival Instinct it is a horrible game.

No.
If we don't have the title key, then Wii U USB Helper won't know it exists and cannot download it.

but idk, I was getting files from NUS just fine last week, today I tried and, even though I can download Eshop games, retail/disc games wont download anything. I'll try later to see if it's a temporary/network issue
No. Retail/Disc games does not work.
You can't download them from the eShop. So Wii U USB Helper can't download it. However, it can download DLCs and updates... if there are any.

WiiU USB Helper can download retail games, eshop games, updates and DLC.
I just had to reinstall it since it has a bug where it says the downloaded file was corrupted and keeps downloading it. Also, I did set another tittle key site when installing again, and now it works like a charm :)

Uhhhhhh..... Wii U USB Helper workaround installer is doing some very shady stuff: stops working quite commonly and I need to reinstall it and the executable of the installed app, well... I can't delete it.
I mean it doesn't really matter, I got a lot of the games that I wanted on it and plus, I got a Switch so I play less often the Wii U, so... eh.
