Nintendo spent quiet for 1.5 years regarding Wii U projects or significant ones?

These are games announced at E3 that were released in the year or years after that E3:

E3 2013 - Mario Kart 8; Bayonetta 2; XC X; DKCR TP; Smash Brothers
E3 2014 - Yoshi; Kirby; Starfox; Splatoon; Mario Maker
E3 2015 - Animal Crossing and Mario Tennis

Nem, do you see the difference? And i'm not even including games announced/first shown outside of E3 like Hyrule Warriors, Mario 3D World, Captain Toad and FExSMT.

You don't hold back games for a console that has no 3rd party support. You show what you got because you have nothing more.
If Nintendo really had intentions of supporting Wii U until 2017, you would have seen them announced at E3 last year, yet, you saw pratically nothing. That, is a sign of a platform that has reached it's end and not a sign of a console that will last into 2017.
