I might be missing some but those are the retail games by Nintendo released or set to release this fiscal year, this isn't including the dozen or so digital only releases either.

Any of those games sell Wii Us? Have people outside of the Nintendo bubble even heard of those games?

I'm not entirely convinced an exclusive GTA VI could sell the Wii U. At a certain point the hardware sales stop mattering as much as the software sales. I'd spoil your fun and point out that that's very early on with all consoles because a large install base ends up hurting some software long term, but let's ignore that for now. When a new IP sells 5 million, which Splatoon almost certainly will at this point, that's wonderful - people would kill for those numbers. When that same game is selling like hotcakes in Japan, on a console? That's nuts. On the Wii U that's even more ridiculous. When MK8 has, what is it now, 7 million? That's wonderful. Nintendo's still looking like it's in the black despite poor hardware sales and now an exchange rate cut for the rest of the fiscal year, and that means they're doing something right.
So TLDR, stop being so pessimistic in this thread. Nintendo has been in a bad spot for years and that's not new info to any of us here. All your antagonism does is make you look upset about something more than Nintendo having a crappy little console that will become Dreamcast-tier beloved in three years, and I'm certain none of us want to see that in a thread where it doesn't really belong, with all due respect.
You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt! I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading. After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!
