Is now the worst time to be a Nintendo console owner?

The Wii only had like 6 or 7 truly great games outside of all the casualware.

Mario Galaxy 1 & 2
Metroid Prime 3
Skyward Sword & Twilight Princess (which is really a GameCube game but whatever)
Xenoblade

And uh ... yeah. Mario Kart Wii was alright but a step down from Mario Kart DS, Brawl was kind of a let down.

The Wii U is already fairly close IMO.

Splatoon
Bayonetta 2
Mario 3D World
Mario Kart 8
Smash U

With Captain Toad, Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3 and by the end of the year you can add Super Mario Maker, Star Fox Zero, and Xenoblade X to the Wii U list.

DKC: TF... Better than Returns. And Yoshi's Woolly World.

We'll see on Yoshi, but yeah DKC: Tropical Freeze is better than DKC Returns. MK8 is better than MK Wii. Smash U is better than Smash Brawl. NSMBU is better than NSMB Wii. Galaxy 1/2 beat 3D World, but by not as much as people make it out to be, 3D World is still a terrific game. 

The Wii was buoyed a lot too by repackaging GameCube games as Wii titles. Remove Zelda: TP, Super Paper Mario, and Fire Emblem from the Wii (all first Wii titles) and its first year is very barren. You have Wii Sports and Excite truck for launch, then basically nothing until Mario Party the following June and then another gap until Metroid Prime 3 the following August.
