Steam App (community/game streaming) on Wii U?

I honestly believe this would be the best combination ever. While there has been requests for bringing Steam games to the Xbox One (which would be easy, even if just streaming) I can't see Valve and Microsoft condoning this as well since Microsoft would prefer people buy Xbox games.

But there is no conflict of interest with the Wii U. Nintendo's library of games doesn't have as much overlap with the Steam Library, so you can literally get the best of both worlds on one console. I don't think it would be incredibly difficult to create the app for Wii U, since the most processor intensive would be the In-house streaming part. Nintendo would probably co-operate with Valve a lot for this, yet their (currently) limited market share won't kill off the SteamOS project.

Even that its true, i am not sure how much Nintendo may want to sell there console as a Streaming device

Even that i do admit that can be really cool if they do agree for that

Basically the majority of all of the best games available on one device. Steam games, Wii U, Wii, Gameboy Advanced, N64, SNES, NES, and so on.

That would be so awesome! I'd really like to play steam titles from my couch without buying extra hardware!

Why should they cooperate with a console manufacturer for streaming? It would diminish the console to a streaming box, wouldn't get any new customers for both sides and - most important - they'd directly compete with their own Steam Link.
