I feel like you don't really know that much about Nintendo if you can't think of any games besides Mario and Smash Bros that they can release.
Zelda isn't out yet, and there's still Metroid, and there are a few games they announced already that aren't out yet. While these may not all be as big as Mario Kart or Smash Bros, it's weird to EXPECT there to be titles that keep 1-upping the next.

System seller blockbusters. Zelda sure, I concede that. Metroid is niche however.

Just want to point out Metroid Prime. I'm referring to a game like this. While it may not be as popular outside the United States, it nonetheless has the potential to move more units.
Also, you don't need system seller blockbusters to keep a system from flopping. The way you worded it makes it seem like there would be a drought of nothing but games that don't matter. Nintendo have plenty of IPs they can use to try and keep up the momentum (at least better than they have the first year of the Wii U). There could end up being a Pokemon game on the Wii U (that Pokken Fighters that the Pokemon Company trademarked).

Don't need to quote me on Metroid Prime. That was my favourite game of the Gamecube, beat it on hard with 100% more times then I can remember. That said, that was a long time ago, the first entry (when the concept of 3D metroid was mind blowing), and Metroid Prime today would be even more niche given WiiU sales. It wasn't a mass market game. Speculating on spinoff Pokemon games doesn't do anybody any good. Also while Nintendo has tons of IPs, I fear they may end up like Pikmin 3, great game, great to brag about on forums, but have no lasting impact on hardware sales.

Except it's not a speculation on whether or not it exists given the trademark is very real.
That and Metroid Prime was on the Gamecube. I also didn't say it had to be Metroid Prime, I am simply pointing out the potential of the series given how well the original Metroid Prime did (especially given the sales of the system it was on).
Also, Pikmin 3 is one of Nintendo's smaller IP's. And even then, if Nintendo ends up releasing many of them in succession, they will collectively have a lasting impact on hardware sales.
