3D World being the only 3D Mario released on Wii U would be almost equal to Hyrule Warrior replacing the nextZelda as the only Zelda game. |
I really hope you are right and they do release a true 3D Mario platformer. That has the potential to move literally millions of consoles just like the Zelda franchise. The longer Nintendo wait however, the more marketshare and gamers are migrating over to Sony and Microsoft. In recent weeks we have seen the Xbox One surpass the Wii U by a very very large margin. No one is going around saying the Wii U has second place locked in anymore, where if you look back to just after MK8 launched, it was the general consensus. Mario and Zelda are the top two franchises that really move Nintendo consoles and as of now, a Wii U Zelda game is closer than a true 3D Mario Wii U game, and Zelda probably isn't coming out until early 2016 at the least...

A true Zelda is definitely coming as it has been announced officially. But I am not very optimistic for a true 3D Mario.
3D World flopped for a Mario game and did not move console at all. It put the Wii U in a very bad spot last holidays and the console is still struggling to recover from it. I hope Nintendo really understand it flopped because it was not the game true platformer fans wanted.
Mario Galaxy 2 would be so hard to surpass and would need a massive work, unlike the cheap and quicly developped 3D World. It would be a killer app. Nintendo has to do it if they fund big project games like Bayonetta or X who will sell way less.
