People keep asking how Nintendo can let garbage out like Devil's Third, but then they ignore games such as Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival or Mario Tennis U

Sadly, I suspect so.

The Nintendo fanbase seems almost masochistic at times. No matter how vocal the complaints, the games still sell alright. Even Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival, which was viciously crucified online, is on course to crawl its way to half a million or so.

A lot of people who buy Mario Tennis, especially when it isn't good, are usually the same kind of people that will buy games like Imagine Petz.

They love Mario, but I wouldn't call them Nintendo fans as you, and I, and oniyide understand them.

I always had the impression that these kind of more casual players don't really own Wii Us, as it's not a hot, affordable mainstream product the way the Wii or DS was. 

Wii U's active player base seems to comprised primarily of Nintendo loyalists.
