Not sure. I haven't checked recently. What we know is we have Yoshi, Kirby, Splatoon, Mario Maker, and Mario Party 10. I think I'm missing something here, but that looks like 1 game per month through may excluding January, which seems to be better than last year. 

 

Those are the "Large" first party games(I'm assuming they will release smallest to largest starting with Kirby). You also have Mario vs. Donkey Kong to release I'm thinking digitally, And the Project games are listed for first half as well. If you choose to count indies(I wouldn't) then there are a lot more scattered around, but like I said, I doubt that will do anything. Mighty No. 9 might, but that's on every platform you can think of, so I wouldn't bet on it. 

This is just NA though, if you want to count Japan you've got a few releases like Rodea and Xenoblade(maybe). And a bunch that I'm missing. 

 

All this is certainly better than what was last year.

Yes but you've also got price fatigue setting in. And as I mentioned, none of those games are big enough to give WiiU substantial boosts. They might prevent a big drop YOY but they won't boost it much.
