You forgot Freedom Planet from last year :P.  Another good indie worthy of recognition.

What hurts this year the most is the lack of a closer.  2013 was really slow too but Super Mario 3D World was a good closeout to the year.  With Zelda delayed the Wii U doesn't have anything comparablecomparable to Smash, 3D World, or Xenoblade to provide a satisfying end to the year.

Yeah, having only Paper Mario for the entire second half of the year is pretty bad.

Wii U's years tended to have a barren first half and a decent second half, but this year is the opposite.
