Wii U, the only Nintendo home console without a must have Mario platformer?

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. Nintendo's competition is really picking up. They had a whole year head start and failed to capture the market. 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...

Only to Nintendo fans...

I seem to remember even Sony fans thinking the same. I think it was a combination of Nintendo fans wishful thinking and Sony fans(I'm a Sony guy myself) wanting the Xbox 1 to be the least successful out of the 3.
