Name: Wii 2, Wii Neo, or ditch Wii entirely --New Nintendo Entertainment System. Can be called New Nintendo Famicom in Asia.
Specs: 1TFLOP GPU (customized 6770 GPU) + Quad-Core IBM GPU + 4GB DDR3 RAM + 32MB eDRAM. Capable of running basically any XB1/PS4 engine, just in 720p perhaps instead of 1080p. x4 USB 3.0 slots. Maybe consider ditching the disc drive for card media (8GB/16GB/32GB), this would make the unit a lot smaller. 32GB flash RAM.
Controller - Tablet controller, but sleeker looking design, not quite as bulky.
Launch Titles - New Super Mario World ... bump the production value so it has new music and a more interesting visual style. Nintendo Land can be mostly the same, maybe runs in 1080p because of the better chipset. The Last Story ... Mistwalker RPG, would've held it off the Wii, and saved it for Wii 2 launch, with redone graphics and 60 fps.
Would've greenlit more projects for the post launch period -- Wave Race, a new kind of FPS shooter, more collaborations with Western devs too. Expand Retro Studios so they can work on DKC + another big project simultaneously.
Marketing: Would hire celebrities like Kate Upton or Megan Fox to spearhead more elegant styled ads for the system as Nintendo has done with celebrities in the past, not cheesy "family" commercials.
$399.99 launch MSRP, drop to $299.99 in a year.

Love your ideas, especially moving The Last Story to Wii U. It was wasted on Wii, but it would have been a major coup if promoted properly as a Final Fantasy alternative from the makers of FF. NSMW is a great title too.

Nintendo seriously dropped the ball with TLS and Xenoblade, they should have touted them as the next FF. Apparently they forgot how to do marketing in 2010.

I think the Wonderful 101 would argue that they've forgotten how to do it once again in 2013.
