It actually has more decent games out for it than you'd think. Particularly compared to xbox one and ps4.
2014 looks to continue that trend too.
It had a crap launch, but to say it lacks games now is just silly.

Super Mario look really good ....Colourful and 60FPS.......
There are some good games for WII U that is worth picking up but it wouldnt surprise me if they put price down to £200 for 32GB WII U in next xmas

It seem that Nintendo is pulling their finger out and that to bring good Games like
Donkey Kong
Mari Kart
Super Mario World
It is nice to see them hitting back and for their games is all about pure gameplay over Graphics I guess which is good things

Hyrule Warriors looks cool and a nice spin on the dynasty warriors franchise.
I'd slate Nintendo for reusing existing franchises over and over, but have you looked at the Xmas charts recently? Find any non sequel/yearly release and I'll applaud that person.
Seems people largely want sequels only. Wonderful 101 tanked. Beyond two souls on ps3 didn't do great either.
Mario 3d world has more innovation in each level than most franchises have had through entire catalogue of releases

It is what people wants, and for good reason. Beside just a few "ok" and not "stellar" games like mario sunshine and the new mario bros wii u. The new mario game have got rave reviews and personally I'm playing super mario bros galaxy myself now (well, not now. but when i got time to play). While I do prefer the old 8 and 16 bit versions, even the new 3d versions is great. although galaxy makes me a bit motion sick and I dislike shaking the controller to do whack the opponents.
The irony here is they release sub par, hardware because they want to innovation on how we play, yet release the "same" 2-3 franchises and gameplay mechanics again and again. Great games? Yes! Disappointing none the less.
At least they're getting some games out there and the Wii U is hardly that starving any longer

My local Sainsburys are selling WiiU 32GB Deluxe with Nintendo land for £199.99
Now tell me what is different between Mario entering every new Nintendo console and Halo entering every new microsoft console? And halo is the same mechanics as 95% of all the other games today. If people complained about yet another platformer in the amiga days, you sure got yet another fps today.
Absolutely no difference and people are groaning about those too, you know 
What IS different is the irony I already mentioned vs. the amount of new ip and innovation on other platforms.

The difference with Nintendo is the gameplay element. With something like Halo it is just another FPSer, all be it a polished and good one with convincing ai and story. With Nintendo you know what to expect from their games, but each new version is quite different from the last.
Someone mentioned Mario Sunshine as being a low point in the franchise. Personally I really enjoyed that game and played it a lot on my GCN, and it's probably one of my favourites in the series.
Regarding the Wii U. Even at 199 I'm still not tempted at the moment. Just not enough reasons to own one. I know i will eventually, but it can wait until closer to the end of its life.

New Super Mario X is also just another Super Mario platformer and Super Mario 3D World is also just another 64/galaxy.
As you do with Halo and Call of Duty and God of War.
Is there a word missing in that sentence? I'm not quite sure what you mean
Nintendo have been hit or slightly miss with their iterations, but they do tend to be excellent games in general.

I think where Nintendo tends to have longevity and win out on hardware that is not "cutting edge" is that the company's focus isn't entirely on the "hardcore" adult gamer. They are usually cheaper than their competitors, and combined with dependable franchises appeal to gamers who will play whenever they can, namely kids.
Zetr0 accuses me of being a fanboi for Ninty because I have all of their consoles, and when I think about it, he may be right, but I don't froth at the mouth about them. However, their systems and games are good, and I have so many of them set up permanently because the games are fun to play.
They maybe overshadowed in the eyes of some gamers by their Sony and MS contemporaries, but Ninty are still here, and are likely to remain for a while.
I would also argue that, you could probably lose either Sony or MS from the market (but not both) and TBH it wouldn't affect the market very much. Losing Nintendo would mean that the gaming world has changed dramatically, primarily because of the market they target, families and young gamers. If young gamers are no longer interested in consoles, then eventually Sony and MS will be in big trouble too.

We can't afford to loose any of the 3 main players. Without the competition between MS and Sony, we would be much worse off, while Ninty just does their own thing. With all 3 doing well, everybody wins.
I do agree, but it was just an example. Sony and MS are chasing the same market, and apart from a very few exclusives are almost completely interchangeable.
MS have started to move towards a full media experience though, which differentiates them slightly from Sony. But it remains to be seen how that will pan out for them.

there is a rumour that the Wii U may be saved yet, when the market in China is opened the Wii U could do very well within the Chinese laws on decency.
if it fails in China then it will be an all round failure
