Problem is they haven't released the next Smash and Mario Kart for it yet.

Because those titles worked wonders for the Gamecube......

While its true that Wii U needs games, it needs new IP. Another Mario or another Smash Bros isn't going to be the killer app people are hoping for. The Gamecube is proof of that. It also needs a price cut but that didn't work that well for Gamecube either. But considering the year headstart Nintendo has, it could make a difference.

In fairness, the Gamecube came out more than 11 years ago.  A lot can, and has, changed since then.
