 They have not had one original game on the wiiU, and there weren't many on the wii. 

They made plenty of original games on Wii; Wii Sports, Xenoblade, Mario Galaxy, Skyward Sword, Wii Fit...


I would not consider wii fit that original. Wii sports is about the same. Skyward sword is ANOTHER zelda game, and mario galaxy is another mario game. My argument was more towards the wiiU. In a year there has been 3 or 4 games with mario in the title. That's not original. 

It's not about the label, (e.g. Mario) its about what is done with gameplay. The way Wii Sports and Skyward Sword used motion controls, Mario Galaxy's dynamic gravity, Wii Fit essentially establishing a new genre, were all original.

I do agree that the Wii U needs more original games though.


The only incredibly originial mario game to me is paper mario. It's the only thing that really changed up mario that much. Every 3d mario game is essentially the same to me. Super mario galaxy was a good idea, but I seriously think the nintendo brand is starved from new characters. What was the last orignial character that they created that was actually a success?
