I agree completely. This generation is a bizarre one for Nintendo. It seems as if all their console games are inspired directly by handheld versions, or past generation variants. This wasn't true of the gamecube or wii at all, as Nintendo tried hard to push their franchises in entirely new directions on consoles. Now their console games look quite derivative in my opinion. Super Mario 3D World was an amazing 3D plat and one of the best in the series, but it looked similar to 3D Land, and thus lost a bit of it's luster. Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze was an amazing 2D plat that busted quality at every seam, but it looked similar to Returns so the market ignored it as well. NSMB was pretty much the same thing we've seen on handhelds and previous consoles, and it also failed to do anything. Aside from Pikmin 3(Which is one of my favorite Nintendo games of the last 10 years) and the Wonderful 101(Pretty solid game) the Wii U seems to have very derivative games. Hope they try some new stuff in the future.
