| Carl2291 said: I honestly think the Wii U userbase is already burnt out on platformers. Look at what released before it - New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U and Super Mario 3D World. Not only are these games readily available on the platform, but NSMB and NSL are both being bundled with the console already. |
I really wonder what the strategy was behind the scenes. Back in 2011 what did they expect the first couple years of Wii U software to be. Was it actually their plan to release NSMB2 a few months before NSMBU? Was it their plan to have basically all their biggest games for the first year and a half to be platformers? Then of course there are the droughts. Just imagine if they had kept Pikmin 3 on the Wii and hadn't delayed DK. I'd be surprised if Wind Waker HD was in their initial plans as well considering the short development time, but late release.
