Nintendo fans aren't a single collective entity that share a common opinion, Mario Party is a series that typically gets hate from "hardcore" forum goers yet the series has sold close to 40 million so their is obviously people who enjoy Nintendo games like this despite popular opinion on forums. Wii Party U has sold over 1.5 million with Mario Party 10 approaching 1 million so there is an audience for party games on Wii U meaning Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival has a sizeable potential audience.

As for wanting a new Zelda or Metroid, a new Zelda is coming and Next Level Games working on a Metroid spinoff is not preventing Retro or SPD from making brand new entries in the Prime or 2D series so that complaint is invalid.

It's how far into the wii u lifecycle and there's none of the main games that nintendo is known for released as of yet. Nintendo should provide the games it's fans bought a wii u for. 

None of the main games they are known for? 2D/3D Mario, Donkey Kong, Mario Kart, Smash Bros are some of Nintendo's biggest and most consistent franchises and all released within 2 years. Zelda is the only Nintendo franchise that has shown the ability to sell over 5 million on consoles that isn't on Wii U yet. As much love as Metroid gets on forums, it's very niche, Mario Party is more popular than it.

Many Nintendo series go thru cycles of not getting released, Donkey Kong which had 3 games sell over 5 million in the 90s went a decade without a traditional platformer, 2D Mario went 18 years without a console release despite selling over 20 million on SNES, Star Fox went a decade without a console release, Pikmin went 9 years without a release and the first 2 sold about the same as most Metroid titles, F-Zero hasn't had a console release since 2003. Nintendo has so many franchises that they can't make every single fan happy by making all of them every generation while also making new things, it's just not possible.

Forum goers need to realize just because we are extremely vocal and dedicated fans doesn't mean that we are Nintendo's only target audience. Another game that got a lot of hate on these forums was Happy Home Designer, it was yet another spinoff that nobody asked for yet it sold over 500k first week. Tomodachi Life was another game that wasn't expected to sell well or considered to be very good looking on these forums, it has sold over 2 million in the west.

Again like I said, Nintendo fans do not all share the same opinions or tastes in games so just because the vocal minority doesn't like something doesn't mean there isn't an audience for such things.
