Two games that could save the Wii U.

[PSwii60]

Metroid is a niche title, and Other M did not truly help the series past that; and Pokémon fits perfectly in the handheld space.
It will honestly take more than two games to make for Wii U's imminent failure. They first need to overly market the damn system to clarify and let people know what Wii U is all about. It's having identity crisis right now.
Second, release a compelling software(s) that fully shows the gamepad's potential. Bundle a fucking Wii game if they have to. Christ, bundle Wii Play, Wii Sports with Wiimote and NintendoLand with it. Bundles!
Finally, release fucking games at least every month or every other month thereafter. Shows gamers you're dedicated to your damn console. Keep the hell up.

If they can't make amends with the third parties, they need to man the hell up and stop coddling these damn companies and counter them by creating new IPs and also venture into IPs they don't normally do such as Mature or FPS titles. Honestly, Nintendo is too damn docile, submissive and conservative.
Fuck this non-disclosure agreements and overly secretive attitude. Feed people a damn bone, and give them something to be excited about.
