Seriously, Nintendo is not THAT Important

 They have not had one original game on the wiiU, and there weren't many on the wii. 

They made plenty of original games on Wii; Wii Sports, Xenoblade, Mario Galaxy, Skyward Sword, Wii Fit...

I would not consider wii fit that original. Wii sports is about the same. Skyward sword is ANOTHER zelda game, and mario galaxy is another mario game. My argument was more towards the wiiU. In a year there has been 3 or 4 games with mario in the title. That's not original. 

It's not about the label, (e.g. Mario) its about what is done with gameplay. The way Wii Sports and Skyward Sword used motion controls, Mario Galaxy's dynamic gravity, Wii Fit essentially establishing a new genre, were all original.

I do agree that the Wii U needs more original games though.

I think you give too much credit for small changes in Gameplay. Galaxy is still a 3D Mario platformer, and what is new and different in New Super Mario Bros U?

WiiU got Pikmin 3, which is a sequel to a 9 year old game. Not original, but still desired. However I do agree with Dan, Bayonetta 2 and Fire Emblem x. SMT are the only "big" new and original WiiU games for 2014. Nintendo is really rellying on Mario Kart, Smash Bros, X, and Donkey Kong.
