IGN explains why Splatoon did not win their best of Wii U 2015 award

I agree with the 3DS award. Seriously, I know there were a lukewarm reception to Triforce Heroes, but I truly think it's a great and fun game. For WiiU I'd say XCX or Splatoon. I enjoyed SMM, but I'd not say it's the best WiiU game of this year.
