Sunshine, Galaxy and Super Mario 3D World are all different enough from each other. Much more innovative than GT, COD, Killzone, sports games, GoW, Uncharted, etc if you ask me. 

As for your question, the Mii characters were a success. Wii Fit trainer was a success. I'm not a fan of those games, but it did sell well. 


Well, if you immediately write-off games that define a genre, then yeah, you're going to think mario is the most original. 

Maybe he's not immediately writing them off; like me, he could have played them, weighed them, and simply found them not overly innovative.


I don't see how you could say two 3d mario platformers innovative when they've been making those since the 90's and then say none of those games are. Not to mention, he's also leaving out some of the most original games like MGS, Heavy rain, LBP, TLOU, Demon's/dark souls, etc etc. I don't know why sports games and COD were brought up considering they were on either platform. 

Mario Galaxy was innovative because dynamic gravity changed the fundamental mechanics of platforming. It made the game very different to prior Mario platformers.


So mario galaxy did a new thing. Cool. We've established that. Clearly hasn't translated that much because they just made another non-galaxy mario game. Can someone give me something the wiiU has done that's important to gaming? Or the wii honestly, besides mario galaxy. Because I can easily give several from the ps3, as I already have.
