Back in May Nintendo announced that they would not release new hardware until current Wii U owners are satisfied, since then E3 has come and gone and we now have a better look at what Nintendo has coming from now til the end of next year. Would it be realistic to say Wii U owners will be satisfied by the end of 2015? Here is the list of exclusives from launch to end of 2015 that we know of now, assuming that none are delayed.
New Super Mario Bros U
Nintendo Land
ZombiU
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Lego City Undercover
Dragon Quest X (Japan only so far)

Super Mario 3D World
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Mario Kart 8

Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem
Devil's Third
Star Fox U
Mario Party 10
Legend of Zelda U
Diddy Kong Racing (rumored)

2015 remaster (rumored)
On top of that we have a decent selection of multiplats, Call of Duty Black Ops+Ghosts, Assassin's Creeds 3+4, Darksiders 2, Mass Effect 3, Ninja Gaiden 3, Resident Evil Revelations, Deus Ex, Sniper Elite 2, Walking Dead, Splintef Cell Blacklist, Lego Batman 2+3, Lego Marvel Super Heroes, Lego Hobbit, Lego Movie, Disney Infinity 1+2 (probably 1-2 more), Skylanders Giants+Swap Force+Trap Team (probably 1-2 more), Just Dance 4+2014+2015 (probably 1-2 more), Watch Dogs, Project Cars, Batman Arkham City+Origins, Rayman Legends
That list covers the majority of major Nintendo titles, Metroid/Animal Crossing/Paper Mario being the only big ones not represented, so could we see Wii U support start to drop after 2015 with a new console in late 2016?
