The WiiU was not the evolution of the Wii, it was...

as requested: "NSMBU as a launch title, Nintendo Land (mini-game collection) as the pack-in title, Wii Fit U, Wii Party U, Game & Wario, Sing Party, Wii Sports Club, Mario & Sonic Olympics as 8 of Nintendo's first 12 releases for the system." as Soundwave stated. Add Just Dance to that list too.

Now we may have a different defintion of what core games are, I would like to hear your definition.

I looked at the Wikipedia list of Wii U launch games and not many of the your games are on the list.

Anyway, as I already said, a core game is a typical game on the industry, that's intended for the typical customer. The game shares the typical customer's values. NSMBU (as far as I know, I don't have the game) and Wii Fit U are not games for the typical customer because of their different value and mostly different content. Wii Party U (at least Wii Party) is much closer to core than Wii Fit, but it's content is real life instead of escapism, which would make it a non-core game. M&S is a typical core game. Wii Sports Club, yes, not for your typical customer (however, this is just a Wii Sports re-release) Wario Ware (Game&Wario) for your typical core customer. Sing Party isn't a familiar game by any means.

Just Dance is Ubisoft's game.
