Flaming Ice hit the nail on the head. Rehash, rehash, and rehash some more. When that fails, let companies release shovelware by the ton on your platform. Rinse and repeat. I dare to say the only system Ninty hadn't really done this with in the past 10 years was MAYBE the original DS, and even it had rehashes of stuff that was easily found for other Nintendo systems.

Smash Bros. may change my mind, but Sakurai was talking about severely downscaling it, so I may have to pass on it if that happens.

If you're counting every system that has a rehash, regardless of the rest of the content it contains, then you should be complaining about every system out there.

The DS had a wealth of excellent new games. Nowhere near as many as the GBA, sure, but still plenty that stood on its own merit.

As for myself, I'll be getting a WiiU to play Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, so I'll be thinking about this pack.

Nintendo does have kind of a habit of doing this, though. I mean, look at all the New SMB games. It's pretty much the same game each time but with one minor twist. Zelda kind of fell into this trap, but not as much as Mario. Ironically, Pokemon USED to fall into this trap, but stopped starting with X & Y.

Sony and MS are really the ones getting all the new IPs now, and that sucks. Literally 95% of games on the Wii U are ports from other systems, or rehashes of games for the Wii and before (in Nintendo's case). That's just sad to me.

3DS at least gets games like Kid Icarus: Uprising every once in a while. But they need to realize that the Wii U isn't selling because of a lack of compelling games being released for it. I feel bad for anybody who dropped 400 big ones on it just to get Nintendo Land, for example.
