2 years isn't too late. And is new super Mario bros no longer considered big? Even after 2 years though people were predicting it would sell a hell of a lot better then it did when most of the big titles actually came. To act like we all knew it was doomed is revisionist. Myself and others were ridiculed by the Nintendo faithful for claiming it was though. |
It is for Nintendo platform, again, that's reason why Nintendo launched several system seller games in Switch first year after Wii U, big Nintendo games and Nintendo system sellers games are what selling Nintendo hardware on first place. NSMBU was actually one of reason why plenty of people thought that Wii U is some kind addon for Wii and not brand new console, it looked exactly same like NSMB from Wii just in HD, NSMBU like launch title done plenty of harm to Wii U, if Nintendo had Mario Maker and Splatoon for instance for Wii U launch, Wii U definatly wouldnt had so bad sales.
Try to remeber how much negativity around Wii U was in 2013. in gaming media right away after launch, going from terible sales numbers (it sold only 160k in first quarter after holiday season), months whitout any single release, not single one big or must have game, 3rd party start abonding platform...not all people thought that Wii U was doomed of course, especially Nintendo fans, but Wii U in 2013. got image of failed console without future.
