Nintendo has had at least one big game for their home console every 4th quarter for as long as I can remember. I'm not worried about this at all.

I imagine they are spreading out their launch window games because otherwise they wouldn't have anything else ready for the 2nd and possibly 3rd quarter. I'm expecting something bigger than NSMBU towards the end of the year. Then again I might be dissapointed to find out it's Mario Party 10 or something. I still remember that year Nintendo's holiday releases consisted of Wii Music and Animal Crossing: City Folk. Hardly games for core gamers.

It's going to take more than one big game this fall to turn things around. Wii U is currently selling below GameCube-levels.

Can you back that up with numbers? The PS3 and X360 apperently sold far worse within the same timeframe.

It's true that Nintendo needs more than one big game for Q4 to stay relevant. The OP suggested that there might not even be one, and I pointed out that the minimum would be one. I'm guessing three.
