Mario, Metroid, Zelda, and Pokemon all in the first year would normally make any fan of gaming say that is the best single year in Nintendo's history. Since it is Wii though, it is a lineup that does a great job of, "playing to Wii's strengths with games that use motion controls and are fun to play in groups"? Foh with that bullshit. It is close, sure, but Wii has the higher quality lineup. If Switch had Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Pokemon all in its first year, people would have absolutely no problem saying it was the best first year in Nintendo's history. However, Wii gets points taken away because it is Wii. Not gonna be able to do it.

To be fair, Zelda didnt release in the same year as the other 3, also the Pokemon game on Wii was poorly recieved.

 

But in Wii's defense, it did also have Fire Emblem & Battalion Wars which got left out in the previous list.

Zelda on Wii came out, just like Zelda on Switch, day and date with the console. It was also, just like Zelda on Switch, a port.

And even if you take Pokemon out because it was, "poorly received," you still have the holy trinity (Mario, Zelda, Metroid) of games released in one calendar year which Switch does not. Plus all the other titles Nintendo put out as well and the major third party support to go with it. If Switch had those three titles released in one calendar year, people would still call it the best year in Nintendo's history. But since it is Wii, people will try to dismiss it.
