Mario Kart and 3D Mario would be ideal I suppose.

This kinda reminds me of the 3DS plan o.o

Didnt they release 3D Land and MK7 in the same year?

I think that's exactly what Nintendo wants to do. "It worked for the 3DS, why not Wii U?" is what they might be thinking.

They didn't only have Mario Kart and 3D Land though ;o. Another 30-40% price cut combined with those games might do it 

Ya but outside of those 2 games, OoT, Star Fox there wasnt many games during the holidays. Wii U has Pikmin, Luigi U, Wind Waker, Wii Party, W101, Splinter Cell, Rayman, Watch Dogs, AC4, COD, Skylanders, Disney Infinity, and I think Mario Kart all from Aug-end of the year so it might not need a price cut although I think its very possible it will.

Pikmin is launching pretty soon, not during the holidays.Same with W101. Luigi U is glorified DLC - I don't think that will do much if anything. Is Wii Party confirmed? 

Even with all those games it will need a price cut just to combat the launches of the other consoles.

I know alot of those games arent releasing near the holidays but people buying a console during that time will see all those titles on shelves and that could sway them in Wii Us favor. Also they dont necessarily need a price cut, with black friday/holiday deals and bundles it very likely u can get a Wii U for $250-300 with a good game while the new consoles will launch at probably $400 or more.

Luigi U is getting a retail release and at $30 so I could see it selling pretty well and it actually interests me more than NSMBU and I think alot of pwople feel the same.
