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.

It wasnt the same calender year though. Zelda was 2006 while Metroid & Mario were 2007, sure they released in a one year period but calender year is Jan 1-Dec 31.

Why would we include a mediocre game in a discussion comparing best lineups?

 

Im not arguing about Wii having a great lineup, i agree with you there, i was just pointing out those two flaws.
