Go home with that. Mario has been a flop this era.

Also you've just mentioned the only games to get a Wii U for. Most gamers want a console to play more than 30 or so games with. I've had hundreds of PS3 games over the years, and easily over 1k for PS2.
The idea is a console should last you over 5 years, and aim for 10. The Wii U won't. The 4 PlayStation consoles did/will. The Xbox 360 has. The DS and 3DS easily did.

Then again, the Wii was criminally short lived. They should have supported it until early 2015 at least.
People aren't buying the Wii U mainly because they ripped people off by dropping online support for many games and stopped selling Wii games as soon as the Wii U dropped.

And the worst part is, because Nintendo stopped making games, getting Wii games means getting them on eBay etc. and you can't even buy games over the store.
People aren't here for the "this is old now, buy this now" tatic. Nintendo are so old school with that.

Gurl what? Mario games this gen have almost all been critically acclaimed. NSMBU is practically objectively the best 2D Mario. Lots of power-ups, impeccable level design, and super tight controls. It's not the most innovative.. But it's solid. And SM3DW is "Mario in 3D" completely and effortlessly to a tee. It is what SM64 should have been.

Mario Kart 8's only flaw is battle mode. The rest of the game is perfect.


First of all, holy ****ing **** 1000 PS2 games. Honestly, I don't think this is what most gamers do more than 30 games per console is just crazy to me

But there is also no way in hell Nintendo should have supported Wii till 2015 wtf.. That thing was dying in 2011. Everyone bought one out of a hype and then it just stopped.. But we got a lot of good games that gen, it's okay. It is not realistic AT ALL to expect consoles to have 10 years of solid A+ support.. Like where are you getting all this info
