Japan is actually the contracting market, not the other way around. There is no console market left, it's basically become a country where there's only one viable new platform (the 3DS, which is selling slower than the DS there).
No one is asking for a GTA Mario.
I think it is a fair question though to ask why a game on the scale of say a Halo/Metroid Prime ... something that could be real show piece for the Wii U ... why such a game was not greenlit and made a priority for the Wii U when Cafe kits were first shipping 2 years ago (now).
That's the type of lack of vision that Nintendo really suffers from. They figured people would just eat up another Mario and that was all the work they had to do.
Even 1990s Nintendo understood this and was willing to bank on games like GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, and finance things like Eternal Darkness and the Star Wars games. NCL today .... doesn't get it.
