Casuals are gone. Nintendo NEED to sell like hell to their core... that will undo the damage from the Wii... maybe the only way to truly undo that damage and lay the ground work for the anticipated Nintendo Fusion in 2019 is to focus on making games for their core that shows of the Gamepad. They need a game that pulls off stuff the way Kirby's Magic Paintbrush and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption did.
I think Fatal Frame is gonna be a good starting place, and believe that games like Wind-Waker HD and Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut so thoroughly besting their already stellar old versions show the potential for other games. Then there are games like Zombi-U, which the Gamepad made vastly better than it could have been otherwise, but which are still rather deeply flawed as a game (it was a launch title to be fair, they're almost always trouble).
Its never gonna sell through the roof, but if Nintendo can make enough people wish they had a Wii-U then next their gen isn't going to have to suffer from its predecessor the way the Wii-U is gonna.
