I was talking sales wise, but even game wise, hell its gonna be a grim year. Pokken wont appeal to the majority, GTAV is obviously not coming to wii u, crytek partnering with nintendo would be an absolute miracle, of which rarely happens, Dragon quest just had a game released so it will be a while before the next is announced and they seem to be edging towards playstation, almost all third party publishers have abandoned wii u (even ubisoft said watchdogs is there last Mature-rated wii u game)
The only hope is Splatoon and Star fox. Star fox isnt really that popular any more so wont cause much a stir, Splatoon if marketed correctly could be picked up by quite a few, but nintendo often fail with marketing new IP's so we must see.

Splatoon, Yoshi, Star Fox, Devil's Third, Xenoblade X, Mario Maker for the last 6-7 months of the year ... looks OK to me.
Pretty standard Nintendo year all around. Probably above average actually.
Wii U is going to be a sales dud no matter what, it's going to be Nintendo's worst selling console and Nintendo knows that. So like it's not like there's some "OMG! Save the Wii U!" pressure on Nintendo. If Smash and Mario Kart didn't do it, nothing will.

6 games doesnt impress at all, especially to a casual consumer, of which there is probably more than the core wii u crowd. Mario maker wont appeal to a lot of people. Star fox doesnt appeal to a lot of people. xenoblade isn't really a western-targeted game. The only thing that would attract the casual is Yoshi and splatoon. Yoshi probably will sell ok for a nintendo game, splatoon heavily relies on marketing.
If I still had my wii u, splatoon is the only game i'd get from that list.
