Well, you're assuming that the people behind said comments (like Nintendo not having new IPs or "rehashing" old ones) are genuinely dissapointed or upset about Nintendo, which I don't believe it's always the case. Personally, I think that most of them are not even aware of what Nintendo offers, much less interested in giving them a chance. They just want to bash Nintendo, either because of pure fanboyism or because of hating what Nintendo represents in their minds. Like I said before, no different than those that claim 360 only has FPS games or Sony only has Gran Turismo and God of War. The more honest people would have no problem in just saying "I don't care about Wii/Nintendo" and leave it at that, instead of trying to push their opinions as facts or making false statements.
By the way, I've seen many people online asking for several 3rd party exclusives on Wii to appear on their platform. More specifically, with Fatal Frame IV, Monster Hunter Tri, Tatsunoko VS Capcom, Samurai Warriors 3 (when it was exclusive), Muramasa: The Demon Blade and Dragon Quest X. Given the fact that Wii is the best selling console this gen and the one with the biggest number of 3rd party exclusives (easily verifiable on Wikipedia, for example), then I don't think it's far-fetched to claim that many people got a Wii for some of these games, whether they have another platform or not. Just because many popular 3rd party games skipped the Wii doesn't mean that no desirable ones were released on the platform.

By definition, "shovelware" games are those that have no appeal as they have been developed with little or no care, only released to make a quick buck. These games usually, or perhaps always, have game-breaking bugs or other technical errors. A commonly used example is NinjaBread Man, to name one. None of the games showed by IamAwsome qualify as such, as evidenced by its sales and overall reception.
If you're going to use "shovelware" as a synonym of "game I don't like", the word looses its purpose as anything could be deemed "shovelware" depending on who you ask. And not caring about a game is not a valid reason to argue that it's not for "gamers" (whatever this means...) or that it's irrelevant to anyone other than you.
Is it really that hard to acknowledge the existance of a game you don't care about and respect other people's interests ?
