New Super Mario Bros U Was In Development For Three Years

Masataka Takemoto from the Entertainment Analysis & Development Division has revealed that it took Nintendo three years to develop New Super Mario Bros U for Wii U. Development for the game started when work had finished on New Super Mario Bros Wii in December 2009. New Super Mario Bros U has an average review score of 84 on Metacritic.

Time is also relative to how big your development staff is.   Nintendo doesn't often work with huge teams like 3rd parties do.  

and yet they couldn't bother to make new music...GRRR
