I know Zelda will be on it. I know (a good) Mario will be on it. Hell, even Donkey Kong could be on it. And they won't be on any other console.
I never got this - if your going to buy a console because of games that will eventually come out on it... why not wait until those games are out? Not only are you more likely to get a cheaper console, but a pack-in title of a game you want is also more likely. I've resisted buying a Vita as there's no "wow" game on it yet even though my Sony fanboyism is screaming out for one (luckily a friend has one, WipeOut loading times really really suck though).
I brought a PS3 at launch because of the games it WOULD have (and because a friend was selling it at a damn good price) and sat and played MotorStorm, Resistance and Heavily Sword - which were all fine games (specially for near launch). But sitting around waiting for Metal Gear Solid 4 and Monster Hunter 3 (I'm still blaming Nintendo, I don't care if it makes no sense to) meant I should have probably waited and saved myself some cash (if a friend wasn't selling it cheap).
And as Nintendo isn't famous for it's online, and I can't see any launch game being online, you could just wait even longer for lots of price drops. Oh wait, Nintendo doesn't drop prices on there games...

Nintendo have stated they like to be in control. They've always been control freaks (specially in the NES/SNES days) - you will never ever see Steam on the Wii U, ever.
