Mediocre sales, didn't move consoles, didn't give the Wii U any momentum, wasted resources that could have gone into making other better games (or improving other games) that would have sold systems.

 

Yeah, sounds pretty disappointing

first of mediocre sales its solde over 2M on a console that only sold 6.2M about a 30% attach rate i dont know what eles you want from that game also we don't know how long the momentum for MK8 will last i mean since super mario 3d world came out there hanst been much eles on the wiiu till MK8 i highly dought that if you switch there places wiiu would be doing any better.

 

also since you seem to have the answers what elese could they have made to help sales


Here's the thing, it still sold less than NSMB U, a game that was phoned in.

 

Nintendo needs to stop rehashing bad Ideas like the GBA-GCN link that became the basis for the Wii U and the virtua boy which became the basis for the 3DS.

Instead it needs to look to what made the NES, Wii, Game Boy and original DS so successful when designing its next hardware.

 

On the gaming side Nintendo should look to both the past, the old school style games on the NES, SNES and Genesis to see what made those games so iconic and it needs to look at what developers like its own in house studio Retro does and what developers such as Rocksteady do (The Arkham games are how Zelda should be and the Prime series was probably the best iteration of Metroid ever).  It needs to focus on building rich worlds to explore and fun gaming that makes makes you excited.  Zelda should not be about puzzles, it should be ablout exploration and killing enemies, same with Metroid.  While NSMB was nice, all that extra effort they put into the 3D Mario's was missing, where was the great music and the creative and rich worlds for mario to run around in and with all the characters in the Mario universe we had to play 2 toads, WTF?!?!

also first off i want to say sorry the last line in my message really comes like im a a** i didn't mean it like that.

 

if you align the lunches 3d world has done better and its kind of hard to out sell a game that packaged with the sytem and theres the fact that 2d mario sells better than 3d mario or are the galaxy games bad ??

 

i agree with some of your points like bigger worls having 2 toads etc. i disagree with some (Metroid Fusion is imo the best metroid game) zelda for me is at its best when they dont tell you what to do and you have to figure it out ( Link to the past the orignal) and it wouldnt be a zelda game with out puzzels might as well make a new IP and i like NSMB ds and wii they are fun games that really didnt do any thing out of the box but were soild games
