Hyrule Warriors isn't a "Zelda game" in its traditional sense by any means, but by it being on the console, it did give Link and co some unique presence. Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD are upgraded ports, yes, but the new Zelda game will be something made ground up over a 6 year development time, for Wii U (regardless of whether or not NX is getting it.)
Super Mario 3D World isn't a 3D multi-camera angle dynamic scrolling 3D Mario game like 64, Sunshine, or the two Galaxy games, but it was quite excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought it was a beautiful piece of work. As for New Super Mario Bros. U, it too was a very solid title, despite not being as original as previous Mario entries.
I'm very content with my Wii U library, overall. Would I have liked to have a gorgeous 2D or 3D Metroid game? Absolutely. Would a new Wave Race, F-Zero, and Kid Icarus have been cool? Of course! But what we got in Tropical Freeze, 3D World, Splatoon, Star Fox Zero, Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros., Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101, Hyrule Warriors, Pokkén Tournament, and many more, still will always leave my memories of Wii U being an great console.
With that said, here's to NX delivering even more!
