I just wanted to give people a heads up that the WiiU downloadable game 'Explody Bomb' by Alkterios Games is available now on the eShop for $0.01. Here is the description of the game from the Nintendo website:

"Shoot enemies while guiding your bomb!
In EXPLODY BOMB you must play the role of aggressor and defender. On the television screen you must shoot down all enemies that attempt to attack you! On the Wii Uâ„¢ GamePad you must guide your bomb between all obstacles! Quickly divert your attention between the two displays to try to rack up the highest score possible! How far can you make it before either your plane or your bomb is destroyed? Try out EXPLODY BOMB and try to obtain the highest score!"
I played the game for a little bit and while the graphics are extremely basic the control scheme is interesting. It actually uses the WiiU gamepad in a more meaningful way than most games have. You control two characters at once, piloting a fighter plane on the television with the left stick and moving a bomb on the gamepad with the right stick. Both can only move up and down and you must avoid the obstacles in your path as they move towards your characters. Only the plane has any weapon that allows you to shoot bullets at the enemies or stars that come your way.
It's a little difficult to explain but easy to pick up. There is a descriptive tutorial that helps explain the basic controls. While simple to understand it was challenging to play. I will admit it did have a somewhat addictive gameplay loop and the game quickly restarts after you die. So you won't be waiting long to try and improve your score on the next run.
While this game isn't anything amazing, for a penny it's certainly worth a try. Rarely are games this cheap on consoles, so download 'Explody Bomb' and try it out for yourself. Here is the link to game on Nintendo's website: http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/explody-bomb-wii-u
