Big titles? As in what? Multi-million sellers? Nintendo typically has 2 blockbusters ( examples smash, mario kart, 3d mario, AC, 2D Mario, Pokemon) a year, which is then complimented by lesser but still good sellers.

Saying that the Wii U averages two big games a year is a misrepresentation.

That's what I would call it, too. Big spring/summer game, big holiday game and interspersed with 2 or 3 big-ish titles sprinkled in the middle. Adds up to about 6-8 big, quality games each year.

2015 has been the best year so far, I'd say. The titles were released more regularly and we got/are getting more of them.

You're wrong there, for the first 6 months the was MH3U, NSMB, ZombiU, LCU and NSLU in the months before Pikmin, the was even third party titles like Injustice, Trine 2 and COD finding their way on to the platform at the time. After Pikmin Released the was W101, Rayman Legends, Wind Waker HD, Scribblenauts, Deus EX, Arkham Origins and ACIV:BF leading up to SM3DW which goes against what you're saying as 2013 was actually quite a solid year for the Wii U.

lol, Why is everyone stuck on pikmin? The point kind of stands regardless.

I'd add StarFox as a potential biggie, anything that takes more then 2months to break 1m should be removed from the list. In terms of flagship titles, thats a bit more tricky. Nintendo certainly intended DK as a flagship title but it didn't to sell as well as many expected

Actually Pikmin didn't release in the first half of the year. It was July in Europe/Japan & August in America

Because if Pikmin is considered big based on sales than u also have to include Lego City Undercover, Wind Waker HD, Wii Party U, Tropical Freeze, Hyrule Warriors, Captain Toad, Mario Party 10.

Yeah, I just mean its kind of obvious that Pikmin wasn't a big release, we should just discount it. How many years did it take to reach 1m? Versus every other listed title which has or will take no more then 4 weeks.

Yoshis wooly world is not a big game at all it is a shit 2d game that took them forever to make. No excuse for how long it took them to release that game it is ridiculous!

I think you need to double-check your definition of what a third-party game is.

third party titles are the Injustice, Trine 2 and COD.  the statement - "there was even third party titles like Injustice, Trine 2 and COD. i don't see what s wrong there except the which should be there instead of the.

@OP, what is the definition of 'big' = AAA games for Wii U? i wouldn't say averages to 2 a year. there are dire months on Jan-July as mentioned on other posts.  but August - December seems good for the Wii U and it is always the case. big games (AAA) may or may not a hit to begin with which is more than 2 year, or if you are stating it terms of sales then it is more than 2 a year.

i wouldn't even mention the games as several post already mentioned those games.
