Budget:
Kirby
Mario Party
Mario Maker
Splatoon (?)
Full priced:
Xenoblade X
Zelda
Devil's Third

The Wii U's best games are Xenoblade and Zelda while some other games worth playing like DT and SF, as for the budget games and Splatoon... meh.

Ah, Xenoblade Yawnicles - I just can't wait to be bored in glorious HD! ;O;
as much as i like the Wii U and the GamePad the GamePad is the problem for me i mean right out of the box we get like 3 to 5 hours depending on use and settings and for some games its just a bit uncomfortable to hold it for long plays

Nintendo is still just one company. They can only develop so many games at a time, and most take years before they are finished.
Lol, hater. You're just jealous because you won't have a chance to play it. You don't even have a Wii U, but you love to bash the games and functionality. That's why I don't join in the "Xbone" jokes.

The name always makes me think of a spittoon.Im sorry but the next big game coming is Splatoon,
Only a few people seem to be excited about Splatoon but nothing massive really. It'll be a game that's going to be forgotten even before it's out.Im sorry but the next big game coming is Splatoon,
Considering I bought the console to play Xenoblade X, and it seems only that game will justify it... The game will cost me 265€... I hope it to be great.
Also Foxi4, why do you even comment regarding X? You don't like it, I get it from the many many times when you happen to listen the name and add 'Yawn' to it, but aren't you putting a lot of effort just to remember everyone you don't like it every time it is mentioned?

Because it's not going to be as "good" as the recent Final Fantasy Fail games apparently, that's why he bashes it
Either that or because it's not on the other two consoles, so, port envy possibly.
I have a black Premium Wii U and two white Wii's.
It's not my fault that it's generic, you're glorifying a McDonald's meal.
Final Fantasy hasn't been any good for over a decade aside from the DS ones, I sh*t on that series almost as much as on Yawnicles.Because it's not going to be as "good" as the recent Final Fantasy Fail games apparently, that's why he bashes it
But McDonald's are so tasty!
I agree the story was kind of meh, but I really enjoyed the gameplay. To each one their own I suppose.

The original game is awful and chances are the sequel will be as well, but it has mechs so I can't hate it too much.

Good, on that we can agree, the recent Final Fantasy games have sucked big time
I've stopped after FFX.
I'll admit that the battle engine was fine, but the exploration wasn't really done well IMHO. The game has a good premise, but suffers from lack of direction, and that's aside from the one-dimensional characters. I was actually hyped for the original since it came out in the west after a period of games draught on the Wii, but I found it disappointing and nowhere near meeting the hype.But McDonald's are so tasty!

It's kind of interesting thinking about how Nintendo will have to proceed past the Wii U. I mean, clearly the Wii U is close to being dead in the water. We can all say "BUT ZELDA AND STAR FOX", but realize those are not the system sellers they used to be. Not by a pretty long shot. Will they each give system sales a small, temporary boost? Sure, but they aren't going to propel the Wii U into the hall of fame. Devils Third? Splatoon? Xenoblade? Those don't seem to have a major Nintendo character name associated with them, and we all know how games on Nintendo consoles lacking Nintendo character names end up. Even if they sell reasonably well, they won't sell well enough, and those three are the least likely to cause an even remotely noticeable boost in sales. They just aren't what Nintendo gamers buy Nintendo consoles for, and the majority of Nintendo gamers do not exit their comfort zone of Nintendo first party games.
All in all, Nintendo has tried to pull the Wii U back, but the Wii U has only sold worse since the first year. I wouldn't say Nintendo has stopped trying, but I'd say they've stopped putting forth their full effort. I figure Zelda U and Star Fox are their last big pushes, and if those don't do the trick, well, "RIP Wii U" will likely grace the walls of Nintendo HQ.
Going back to my first thought though, there has been a trend this generation that has been hard to miss, and that's Nintendo's declining game quality. I honestly don't think Nintendo anticipated the time it would take to craft big HD experiences and set up the Wii U expecting to maintain a relatively even release schedule like they could in the past of all their major first party games. Instead what we've seen is a really sparse release schedule for the Wii U, and oftentimes games fall below expectations. As someone already mentioned, the only truly worthwhile Nintendo developed Wii U games at this point are Mario Kart and Smash Bros. Everything else just reflects Nintendo not having the time to make the games any better. Thus, instead of a big beautiful 3D Mario game, we've gotten versions of the "New Super Mario Bros" series that seem more like level packs than entirely new games. Now we're getting the $40 "budget" games that feel more like a mini-game within a major release than a major release themselves, reflected in either quality, completion time, or both.
Overall, I don't know if Nintendo can really go bigger without third party support that they don't have. As it stands, development is already taking too long to maintain a healthy release schedule for the Wii U, and with no nearly no third party games filling the gaps between releases, there are months at a time without reason to purchase even a single new game, physical or digital. When we see them trying to find ways to fill in the gaps, we get stuff like Mario Maker, Toad's Treasure Whatever, Kirby Blah, etc., which are games that serve only to show off Nintendo's inability to work with the longer development cycles required for their biggest releases.
Of course, maybe Nintendo could deal with it a bit better if they weren't developing for the gamepad and the Wii U itself simultaneously. The gamepad is neat, but besides making the Wii U more expensive than it should be, it likely hasn't been a boon when trying to lower development time on various games.

No it wouldn't. I would think it was common knowledge at this point that hacking does next to nothing in terms of influencing sales, whether it be for piracy or homebrew.
Heck, even if Zelda U is the last good game for the console, and it's open world, fully explorable, etc. etc. -- You can play that for a solid year straight.
But yeah, if I hadn't discovered how to use homebrew in vWii, I'd be severely disappointed in the content of the Wii U alone. Hacking it made it one of my favorite consoles.

In my opinion, the Wii U in 2015 is decent, but I am hoping for more announced games. I haven't seen that Wii U Fire Emblem game mentioned here yet. If Nintendo goes to download only, I'd skip them. I'd be more interested in games on SD cards with multiple slots or something similar. I prefer purchasing physical media.
The 3DS is lacking in my book with only 2 games this year I am anticipating.
Code Name Steam
Fire Emblem
If Nintendo combined their portable and home console, it may be interesting. They have tried to compete with comparable hardware (GameCube) and it didn't work for them.
