Mario 3D World certainly isn't ambitious or "Epic" like Mario Galaxy but its still great 3D Mario game and of the best games this gen.
Splatoon is very ambitious title despite lacs some online options, it's completely fresh and great new big IP for Nintendo and I can see that will outsell Smash Bros on NX. I really don't see why every Nintendo game needs to have 4 player local multiplayer, especially when game is totally online focused in comparison with Mario Kart or Smash Bros.

And so we go back to the original discussion of this thread and that is Nintendo has decreased their output in epic scale games in the Wii U compared to every home console before it. Which is fine because we can all agree 3D World and Splatoon are fun and addicitve to play. However, for consumers who expected Nintendo to continue making epic scale games, this generation isn't as fullfilling as previous generations.

Well depends, we can say that Mario Galaxy is "Epic" game, but for previous Mario game (Mario Sunshine) we cant say that is "Epic". Also we have or will have Epic games for Wii U, Mario Kart 8 is Epic and certainly more Epic than Mario Kart Wii, Xenoblade X too, Zelda U will certainly be Epic game, for me Splatoon is also pretty Epic. So we cant say "Nintendo has decreased their output in epic scale games in the Wii U" only beacuse Mario Galaxy was "Epic".

Splatoon is not an epic game. Mario Kart 8 sure. Xenoblade X yes. But not splatoon. It doesn't even have proper matchmaking and restricts you to game modes. Compare this to Team Fortress 2 and you can see why these restrictions put people off.
And Zelda U is probably not going to be an exclusive Wii U title anyway. So the Wii has Metroid Prime 3, Skyward Sword, and 2 Super Mario Galaxy games as exclusive epic single player games while Wii U has none from each series.

In what universe is Skyward Sword an epic game? It's a boring ugly game with obnoxious controls and the worst world design in any Zelda game. The second SMG isn't all that epic either when it comes to presentation. The space theme gets pushed to the background a lot. If that's epic then so is SM3DW.
