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.

That audience doesn't give a crap about the Wii U one way or another.
7-9 Nintendo published games for a Nintendo console in a year is about average.
Has been for the last ... oh .... 20 years.
Maybe Wii U fanatics should stop playing the "woe is me!" card and actually start buying games with someone other than Mario or Link on the box.
Bayonetta 2 is terrific, Captain Toad is just fine, Wonderful 101 was overlooked, so was Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and no doubt these same people will probably pass on things like Devil's Third and even Xenoblade X as well.
There's life outside of Mario/Zelda Wii U fans. Try something else for a change, you're not going to die.
