Assuming the Wii U generation is rapidly coming to an end, I think Spaltoon will go down in history as the game of the generation for Wii U. Though ultimately it was unable to actually achieve anything beyond its own success since it didn't really break Nintendo out of it's own long held public image. It obviously wasn't intended to so that's not a criticism of the game, but if Nintendo thought the game had any kind of strategic role for Nintendo's home console aspirations they were badly mistaken. So if that was in the minds of the Nitendo execs then it is a criticism of them for continuing to mis-understand the broader gaming market outside of their own core fanbase.
