So, what were your expectations on Wii U in regards of success?

Don't forget about Splatoon, which I can safely say is well on its way to becoming Nintendo's newest blockbuster IP, and for the shooter genre, no less.

And you wanna know something. I personally am so sick and tired of people who say 3D World is not a real 3D Mario game, or mainline Mario game.
Are you freaking kidding me? Are you really that butthurt over the fact that it isn't Galaxy 3 or a sequel to 64?
Is FF XV not a real Final Fantasy because it's not turn based?
If the game is high quality, polished, and just fun to play, than why should it matter?

You are playing as Mario in a 3D environment. You have power ups (which are utulized FAR better in 3D Land/World than they ever were in 64 or Galaxy), there are stars to collect, you are going through a level by manipulating the level with your platforming skills. It's the first 3D Mario game to make use of multiplayer.
It is a Mario game in the third dimension, whether you like it or not. And a DAMN good one at that!
So deal with it!
