Captain Toad was a game that fans wanted, and I to wanted a full Captain Toad game after play Mario 3D World. It was understandably a small release despite its launch price.

Starfox Zero and Paper Mario Colour Splash are just Nintendo being their usual stubborn self not listening to fans and making games the way fans wanted.

Yoshi was considered good to those that played it.

Animal Crossing, Mario Tennis, Mario Party are all definitely filler games. Shameful but understandable as Nintendo desperately needed something to fill their empty release schedule.
What looks better to investors? Releasing 2 top quality games a year, or 4-6 smaller titles in the same time frame?

While I am arguing the issue I do think Nintendo need to lift their game with the NX. They need to release bigger titles at a consistent pace.

obvious troll

 

Captain Toad is an amazing game. People were glad to have it.

 

Wooly World and Colour Splash weren't perfect, but they're far from rushed(even if you dislike it). Also, add in the fact that the Wii U is dead, projects as big as XCX obviously won't be on it.

 

Sounds like you're just whining over spilled milk tbh.

Captain Toad could win awards for the puzzle category. Yoshi could've won awards for its art style

Not everything needs to be big budget or huge in scale. Yes stuff like the last Mario tennis and amiibo festival are examples of Nintendo rushing games out to pad a release schedule but smaller games like Yoshi, nes remix, captain toad ect are still worthwhile additions to the Wii u library despite their smaller budgets and chances are we'll see similar games on the nx.

Well, you gotta give generalized answers to generalized questions. Overall I do think the WiiU has very few games and most of them are low quality games. Of course there are some exceptions, I think XCX is amazing, but a few exceptions don't represent the console's library. 

The word you were looking for is "scope, " not quality, and they've been doing this for over a decade.

I consider Starfox Zero, Yoshi Wooly World and Captain Toad all to be good games and Paper Mario might be good and have overall positive reviews.

I think that's way to large a time frame.  Galaxy was less than a decade ago, as was Galaxy 2, Xenoblade, XCX, Fire Emblem: Fates, and Breath of The Wild is coming soon.  So I would say that even that is not accurate and could only be reall applied to the last several months, not the last decade.  I mean, no Skyward Sword wasn't as grandiose as Twilight Princess and Wind Waker, but it waqs definitely more ambitious that 90% of Zelda games and frankly most Nintendo games in the area of story telling and presentation.

Yep, basically. I think Yoshi was also a contender for best platforner. In my personal GOTYs xD.

fleischr said: Star Fox Zero, Yoshi, Captain Toad, and Paper Mario meta just as high as any of Xbox or Sony's exclusives. There is an overall dip in quality - but I think that's because Nintendo wants dev staff to roll off WiiU projects as quickly as possible to start NX ones.

Just as high as Ratchet & Clank, Uncharted 4, Bloodborne?
