There was quality there, for sure. But Nintendo needed some bombs here. Mario 3D, Retro's game, the Wii-series, 3rd party titles... these things needed to grab people's attention. MarioKart was everything it needed to be. X looks amazing, but it's a niche title. Kart and Smash delivered but the ball was dropped in several areas. Mario 3D needed to lead the way and it didn't. DK will suffer from the same symptoms as NSMB. These things are big mistakes, and the lack of the worlds biggest series, COD, will make the Wii U an also-ran. A fun system, sure, but it's coming up short.
