If Pikmin 3 is counted as a big game than this year it has:

- Splatoon
- Mario Party 10 (is gonna be a million seller this year for sure)
- Super Mario Maker
- Yoshi Woolly world
- Xenoblade Chronicles X
- Star Fox Zero


This.

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.


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


I think you need to double check the context because games like COD, Injustice and such aren't finding their way on the platform now where as back then they were.

those are 3rd party exclusives - MHU3 and ZombieU.  and MHU3 is a big title for Capcom converting 3DS to Wii U with HD graphics.  Zombie U is a Ubisoft Wii U exclusive.  not sure about sales, but MHU3 is a 'big' game in my view.  Zombie U is around A/AA type of game. not sure about the marketing cost about Zombie U at that time.

Actually, never mind me.  I think I'm the one who mis-interpreted the OP.  Sorry.

You are not counting Wonderful 101 and Donkey Kong:TF? Get out of here.

Are people seriously arguing that Pikmin 3 isn't a "big" game?

That would entirely depend on who you ask. To lots of the series' fans a new Pikmin was a very big thing indeed.

Ask the same people whether a new Street Fighter is a big thing to them, and it might not be.
