So Nintendo is the Mario Console. What about for people who don't want to play Mario titles? You could have at least pointed out Tropical Freeze--which I do think is one of the best DK games to date--rather than going for NSMBU which is a tweaked version of a Wii game, or Super Mario 3D World which is pretty much inferior to Galaxy in every way--and I am no fan of SMG. Mario Maker is a good idea, but it suffers much in the same way all games reliant on user-created content do, 99% of user-created content is hot garbage. Captain Toad is a new branch of Mario so I'll just toss it in there, and like I said, there's only so much god damn Mario you can get people to play.
Splatoon is okay. I tinkered around with it at a friends house--I was amazed he even still had his Wii U--and it was an enjoyable game, but I have already been having similar experiences for years elsewhere. On top of that, I hardly think it's Nintendo's best multiplayer game, when we're talking about the people who brought us various versions of MarioKart and Smash Bros.
