Hmm... Sure, they made great games. However, even if we only look at Nintendo games, they tried much harder during the last gen, both in quantity and quality. Look at Zelda. Look at Metroid, look at Pokemon. Look at Mario/Mario Kart. 3DS games of those franchises can't keep up with the ones NDS hasdto offer.

So you're saying ALBW, 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, and Pokemon XY/ORAS/SM are that much inferior to their DS counterparts? Then what about Kirby, FE, KI, AC, and Luigi's Mansion?

Edit: While I'll somewhat admit that there wasn't as much ambition this gen for Wii U, I'm not one to dismiss well executed games. And who says Sm4sh isn't that ambitious? Especially with 8-player Smash, new modes, and characters we thought and never expected to make it (possibly creating the greatest crossover roster in the history of video games). Splatoon, Xenoblade Chronicles X, and BoTW are the more ambitious games for Wii U, but there's no way anyone should put DKTF, Pikmin 3, 3D World, Woolly World, Captain Toad, MK8, TMS: #FE under low esteem.

I never said Wii U hadn't ambitous games, or great games at all. I'm the first one to say that Tropical Freeze and Bayonetta 2 are the best 2d platformer and action game of my life respectively. TMS #FE, Splatoon and Mario Kart 8 are great.

As for Smash... ehh. I just feel like they filled it with a lot of useless content. 8 player smash is somewhat niche because of the difficulty of gathering that much people. Also, even in bigger stages it's a complete mess. Smash Tour is the shittier thing Sakurai could had come up with. Really, I can't say anything good about that mode. As for the roster... no complaints. I have major (but like MAJOR) complaints about the soundtrack selection though. But I wont get into that, it would be too much off topic.
