I don't think the wii u being Nintendo's first HD console was an excuse for lack of games. It was no big deal for microsoft and sony when they moved to hd consoles. Well maybe it was for Sony as the playstation 3 was so complicated but the wii u if anything is a much closer match to the wii than the 360 was to the original xbox.

And Iwata promised before the Wii U launch that they were ready for HD development...

So I agree. Wii U being HD is not an excuse for the poor library.

Nintendo said later that they very underestimated HD development, also people are forgeting that 3DS was in very bad shape in first year so Nintendo have put great effort in order to save it (and they succeed) but that affected on devolpment of Wii U games.

They absolutely cannot repeat what they did with 3DS/Wii U in their first years. People go on about if Nintendo cuts off Wii U early than it will hurt their image well I think dragging Wii U along while also having their next console suffer from a first year drought would be much worse, basically that would be the same as the Wii to Wii U transition, outside of Kirby/Zelda there really wasn't a whole lot from Nintendo for the Wii in its last 2 years and Wii U had nearly 9 months between launch and it's next major 1st party title.
