I agree on all of your points, though I never played Wonderful 101.
Smash will most likely not be ported over but will have a new installment. People bring up Mario Kart 8's porting but I think Nintendo did that in order to plug a software hole in between releases. That and the series has a broader appeal, sales-wise at least, than Smash. Smash will probably get a new game in the series.
Overall I agree with most of the recent posts: the Wii U will have a cult following. Low console sales, unique software, and a memorable controller / gimmick (think VMU) will ensure this.
Could the idea behind the Wii U have been implemented better? Sure. So can every other console, both failures and successes, implement better ideas or at least execute them better.
Pricing for the console does remain high though. I'm in the NYC area where prices are generally higher than in other areas if you go hunting in brick and mortar locations.
In short: Viva La Wii U!!!
