Where are those Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis dates coming from btw? I thought NOA listed them as "TBA".

I don't own a 3ds, so for me their output has been very disappointing.

I loved this year for the Wii U... especially since a lot of the titles are releasing soon.

Next year though is when my most anticipated game, SMT x FE releases. So 2016 will be the most amazing year for me for the Wii U.

The Wii U games I bought were Yoshi's Wooly World, Splatoon, Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush (Edit: And Captain Toad. I just realised that was also 2015 in the eu). I enjoyed them all and look forward to Mario Maker, Starfox and Xenoblade X. I might also give Fatal frame a try.

I'm also am currently loving the vc release of Xenoblade which I didn't think I'd like because I've moved well away from massive openwold rpgs in recent years. I love the fact you can basically ignore all the crappy sidequests and focus on the main linear story. You can do that in other big openworld rpg's but I felt no pressure to do any of the subquests in xenoblade and I don't think I would have enjoys it half as much if they were a focus for me.

I'm only 20 hours in so I do fear it'll become a tedious grind before I'm finished, like many rpg's do for me, but so far I think it's great and look forward to the sequel.

I will probably rate this my favourite overall year for first party Wii U games by the end. That's because of my tastes. I understand other years had bigger games for many people. Also last year I had more time to waste on games so maybe this years long waits between games would have bugged me more in other years.

I expect by the end of the year to give it an 8 or 9 out of ten. That's assuming my three most hyped games for this year don't disappoint.

I didn't play my 3ds much this year. I played a some old games from past years like bravely default which I loved the first 4 chapters of. MM3D is a really great remake. My 3ds is very old now and the battery lasts about an hour these days so I'm turning to my Wii U gamepad more often. The Zelda game might be good and I enjoyed the demo of code names steam but mixed reviews put me off. There has been little of interest to me on 3ds this year.

8.5.

There have been a good number of titles but in my opinion it was mostly filler and delayed games.

Id rate it a 7.

So far it's a 4/10 due to Splatoon, but I'm sure the score will be a bit higher once I play Star Fox, Yoshi, Mario Maker and Xenoblade!

Right now I would give it 2/10, because all I have played and enjoyed is Splatoon. If Yoshi, Mario Maker, Xenoblade, Star Fox and Fatal Frame deliver, then the Wii U output could be an 8, possibly a 9

8 / 10.

There's more quantity, less quality -- but some really great releases overall

i did buy xenoblade on Wii U eshop too, its soo fucking awsome :D
