Wii vs Wii U is interesting I guess.

Hardware

Wii U > Wii (Wii U was a good sized upgrade even if it was still competitively outdated), Wii was a repackaged GameCube basically.

Software

Splatoon > anything new on the Wii
Mario Kart 8 > Mario Kart Wii
Bayonetta 2 = Metroid Prime 3 (the token Nintendo "hardcore" title).
NSMBU > NSMB Wii
Nintendo Land > Wii Sports/Fit (Sports/Fit might be more casual, but NL is the better overall game).
Xenoblade X < Xenoblade Chronicles
Mario 3D World < SMG 1&2
AC Amiibo Fesitval < AC City Folk
Smash U > Smash Wii
DKC: Tropical Freeze > DKC Returns
Mario Maker > any remaining major Wii title

Misc. Nintendo IP ...

Captain Toad + Yoshi's Wooly World + Star Fox 0 + Devil's Third + Pikmin 3 + Wonderful 101, LEGO City
vs
Kirby's Epic Yarn, The Last Story, Excite Truck, Punch-Out!, Endless Ocean 1/2, Sin & Punishment

That's pretty close, I'd say Wii has a small edge here, but Pikmin 3 is probably the best game of that bunch.

Your Wii list is missing Pandora's Tower and Kirby's Return to Dreamland. (Which destroys Rainbow Curse)

Also, Wii had more noteworthy third party exclusives, like Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Little King's Story, de Blob, Sonic Colours, (Which destroys Lost World and Boom) No More Heroes 2, Red Steel 2, etc.

Also, as Einsam rightly points out, Wii had a proper Zelda, Metroid, and an ambitious 3D Mario all in its first 12 months.

Library wise, Wii > Wii U by a signficant margin.
