Impressive, that's what every third party devs should do on the wii U if they expect to have success

Yep, just shove Zelda and Mario somewhere in the title and watch it sell :P

The sad part is that it works =(

It doesn't have "Zelda" or "Mario" in the title.

It has Link on the cover, which seemed to work pretty well

See, you don't need the name after all. ;)

On a serious note though, Tropical Freeze and Wii Party U also have over a million without Zelda or Mario.

You mean they have to splatter Nintendo all over their established franchises?

The moral of the story is 3rd parties simply need to make games with Nintendo IPs to achieve success on Wii U.

We saw 3rd parties using Nintendo IPs on Gamecube and OG Wii as well. Many became million sellers.
