Also, there is a pretty good lineup of games when considering the offerings for the Wii U. It actually looks stronger than 2015. Zelda Wii U, Shin Megami X Fire Emblem, Star Fox, Pokken Tournament, Twilight Princess HD. Indies include Mighty No 9 and Bloodstained.

2015 had Splatoon, Mario Maker, Fatal Frame, and Xenoblade X. Indies include Fast Racing Neo (and arguably Minecraft because it's the Mojang version and not the updated version).

Opinions may vary though, I doubt anyone could say it is going to be worse.

 

Splatoon is going to be the platform defining game for the Wii U, so that will always be looked at as the peak. 

To be honest I don't know what the hell Nintendo was thinking with SMT x Fire Emblem, it looks awful and flopped even in Japan. Not sure what they expect that to do here. 

Last year had Yarn Yoshi, Kirby, Devil's Third, as well. 

Splatoon (while an absolutely AMAZING game that deserves every sale it got) is also a very flawed game as well. It just so happened that it has changed the concept of the shooter SO much that it is drawing in their demographic. It will by far be recognized as their most successful new IP, but far from the Wii U swan song.

Sure SMT  X FE flopped in Japan, but so does the Persona series, and the game.... Looks like a Persona mixed with Atlus' take on Fire Emblem characters. Bayo also flopped, but I think anyone who has played that game would hardly call it a bad game.

Other than that, out of the rest of the games I "forgot" (or would it be more like not even worth mentioning), the only point I could give you would be Yoshi's Wooly World, which would only bring the total games to around the exact amount the Wii U has coming out in 2016. Plus I expect a few more smaller titles around the same level of budget and scope to be announced or probably even anounced and I'm just not thinking about them.

Point is 2016 has roughly the same lineup as every year. Not really better or worse.
