Honestly it seems like nintendo hasnt had good third party support since 2010. Does anyone remember the ridiculous wii drought of 2011 and 2012? No? Thats because we were all playing games on our xbox360 and our ps3s. They regained it for a little while when the wii u launched but since then the companies that support nintendo dropped like flies

Thq- went bankrupt
Ea- completely gave up on wii u
Take two- pretty much only released one game on the system (nba 2k)
Activision - still supports the wiiu a little. We have gotten call of duty and skylanders for the past couple years and we might get cod again.
Ubisoft- support was initially strong with multiple exclusives but since the first yearit has dried up. I think props are due to ubisoft because it continued to support the wii u far longer than other publishers and spoke highly of Nintendo back when others were dropping support.
Warner bros supported the wii u aggressively with scribblenauts, batman, injustice, the lego games, and of course lego city undercover, which was published by nintendo but developed by tt fusion which is owned by wb. Support has since decline but we still get Lego games.
Sega- makes multiple nintendo exclusives, and, in essence is still supporting nintendo through sonic boom... which I honestly dont know if anykne cares about...

Namco, capcom, and square enix seem to have supported nintendo very little, each with about a game or two
Tecmo koei seems to support nintendo through their warriors franchises

And honestly has konami released any games for wiiu? I can't think of any?

Nintendo needs to continue to work to create second party opportunities like bayonetta 2 hyrule warriors, fatal frame, devil's third and lego city undercover. This wont completely compensate for lack of third party support, but it will creAte a culture of Nintendo gamers who are more likely to buy second or third party games. Once this culture/market is developed the third parties will follow
