Did you know that Smash and Mario Kart were the top two games on the Gamecube?

Yes I knew that... But why do you think those games will help the Wii U when it didn't help the GC?

Those games are all the GameCube had. Without them, the GameCube would've crashed and burned much worse.

Actually, the perfect example of how bad it could've been is the Wii U.
