What Nintendo needs is 2 things.

1. A huge Nintendo direct that gives some concrete dates on Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Bayonetta, and Xenoblade, as well as showing off some games they are working on. I have seen in other places that the games we know about are only about 30 percent of what they are working on. It would be a good time (obviously) to pull the curtain back on some new games.

2. Bite the bullet and pay for a Super Bowl Wii U comercial, probebly featuring Donkey Kong and Mario Kart. It's 4 million bucks but is the one time of year that you know for a fact people are watching. $4 million sounds like a lot but it's equal to only 80,000 copies of Donkey Kong sold. No doubt it will eat into profits, but the reward far outweighs the risk.
