Pyro as Bill said:
Holy 'Trinity'/A-league for Nintendo is Pokemon, 2D Mario and Mario Kart. B-league isn't meant as an insult. It just means they're not quite A-league. They would be A-league/god-tier on other consoles just not Nintendo ones.
There's no reason why Wii-U/3DS remasters of 2D Mario, Kart, Smash and Splatoon shouldn't be available at launch, I'd bet they're ready to go but Nintendo will hold them back. They should release a singleplayer heavy game alongside a multiplayer game. Rumours suggest 3D Mario and Splatoon at launch. Kart/Zelda(when finished) May-July, Smash/RetroIP Aug-Sept, 2D Mario/Pokemon holidays. |
Its kinda hard to say those games are A tier but 3D Mario isnt.
3DS+Wii U
Mario Kart-21.94 million
3D Mario-16.17 million
2D Mario-16.05 million
Smash Bros-13.34 million
