Nintendo need to just cancel the entire Paper Mario games and give us a proper Super Mario RPG 3. The first Paper Mario was fun and challenging the current itteration of the game have been so dumb down and really try to cater to kids.

 

Has for unrealistic expectations.... Nintendo performance over the past two years has been Mediocre at best. Splatoon and Mario Maker might be a shining star on what is horendous offering by Nintendo overall.  When Nintendo can't even be bothered to make a half decent Mario Tennis, this just goes to show how far the quality control has dropped from a company that used to make great games. 

Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival Wii U - 5 Mediocre

Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash Wii U - 4.8 Bad

Yoshi's Woolly World Wii U - 7.4 Good

Mario Party 10 Wii U - 6.5 Okay

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Nintendo 3DS - 5.9 Mediocre

Yo-Kai Watch Nintendo 3DS - 7.2 Good

Getting scores out of nowhere to prove something?

Woolly World has a 78 on metacritic, Paper jam a 77, Yoktai a 78. Thats more than most big blockbusters this gen, and they were not bad by any means, Specially Yoshi was awesome, this sounds to me like "Im angry for one thing, lets shit about everything"

These were the major Holiday 2015 Nintendo games all score came from IGn.com..... Since Mario maker just missed out on the Holiday windows. 

Yoshi's wooly world while being a decent game it's primarily designed to be played by pre schoolers and cater to a general audience. It's bad enough that Nintendo has so few games coming out in the holiday 2015 but most of them were simply just bad.

These are the holiday release from Nintendo as per metacritic... considering that the Wii U is not getting any 3rd party support like PS4 and Xbox One. That's simply just not going to cut it. The Wii U is in its third year on the market, Holiday 2015 should of been one of the biggest year for that platform. Except Nintendo is only showing that they completely abandoned the system and are willing to realease any crap they can quickly produce.
