Pikmin + 3 games from 3rd parties as exclusives is actually pretty decent. Also, add monster hunter to your list (IF you're in to MH, I'm not really). The problem is that a lot of the multiplatform games that are upcoming still aren't getting Wii U versions.
There are barely any ps3(Last of Us, Beyond... Sly cooper reboot?)/360 (Uhh... Gears of war judgement... and I can't think of anything else) exclusive games coming either, but plenty that are getting PS3/360/PC releases that should really be on Wii U too.
Which is a big mistake, because as of right now, Ubisoft has the right idea with Zombi U/Rayman legends/Assassins creed 3/ Just dance 4/ that fitness game.
Seriously, everyone is missing out on easy building of brands with the launch of the new console. It's no wonder Ubisoft is doing so well in the games industry right now, when they're the only people really willing to leap onto every new piece of hardware to build support with the customer base.
However, the outlook is significantly brighter for the Wii U eshop, with the following due this year/2013 (including some ports here, but still)
Cloudberry Kingdom
Bit Trip RUNNER 2 (Releasing simultaneously on Wii U/360/ps3/pc)
1001 spikes (By nicalis, so expect one gamebreaking bug initially in the American version, and the Europe version in the year 2145)
8 bit-boy
Mighty switch force :Hyper drive (Improved version of 3DS game by way forward, with new levels)
Mutant Mudds
Nano Assault Neo (Really good game, been playing it quite a bit)
Pier Solar HD
A new Shantae (UNtitled)
Trine 2(Updated port with Gamepad support)
And frankly, I'm far more interested in several of those than the more violent games that are coming out multiplatform on 360/ps3 (Though having them on the Wii U would still be preferable to not having them, obviously).
As for announcements of wii U nintendo games? Realistically, nothing major is going to happen until E3 at the earliest. We might get a single title announced between now and then in nintendo direct, but I'm sure the majority of the focus will be on games we already know about.
