I don't think it's 100% that we won't have any further releases of note. We didn't even know about Pandora's Tower until a few days ago so I certainly don't see how anyone could say that with any certainty (Even if the chances are excellent that such a guess will end up correct). But if that could happen, I don't see why something else worthwhile also couldn't come out.
I could see the New Play Control release of Chibi Robo finally making it out like Pikmin 2 did last year (Not a major release, but still a nice game that many overlooked on the GCN), maybe a release in line with last year's Kirby collection for another Nintendo franchise, and maybe even one or both of the Fatal Frame games could finally be picked up and released. The Fatal Frame 2 remake in particular came out in Europe, reviewed very well, and is already translated for something Nintendo could cheaply bring stateside.
A strong holiday season for the Wii, excellent Wii U backwards compatibility, a new console redesign for 2013, and the apparent success of Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Story (And hopefully Pikmin 2 was considered a success) certainly won't be doing the chances of something else of value any harm. While they have obvious candidates for several more waves of Nintendo Selects rereleases to appease existing owner's and the many just picking up the console now, they might still want something new on the shelves.
I'm hoping the FF2 remake gets the call (Sadly I don't see Fatal Frame 4 standing much of a chance due to the need to translate it unless they let a company like XSEED license it.. but that would certainly classify as a noteworthy release if it happens).
