My favourite genre is 3D platformers. Besides SM3DW, what does the Wii U really have there?

Any of the Lego games, Epic Mickey 2, Skylanders, Pacman, and Sonic Lost World (which is actually good, just takes some time to get used to the controls and some of the level gimmicks are bizarre).

I'm really quite meh on LEGO games, and nearly all are availible on other platforms, Epic Mickey 2 is also availible on other platforms, so is Skylanders, so is pacman. And I'm not interested in any of those games anyway. So that only leaves Lost World. Not much to get excited about really.

The 3D platformer is almost an extinct genre these days, unfortunately. It's also my favorite, so to see very few of them is sad to me. The only franchises that really continue them are Mario, Ratchet and Clank, Sonic and...that's pretty much it. Unless Jak & Daxter or Banjo see revivals this gen, I don't see much in the way of the genre aside from what I already listed.
