Launching with nsmbu was a great idea and a terrible idea.

Great because the other games in the series sold insanely well. Terrible because, by the time the Wii U had launched, they had already milked the franchise dry. By the time we had a DS game, a Wii game, and a 3DS game, the idea of "A new 2D Mario game" wasn't even slightly exciting anymore.
