User blog comment:CptSteveRogers/5 reasons NOT to buy a Xbox1/@comment-5087874-20131126013749/@comment-5698069-20131126195645

You know, Wii U isn't actually overrated... simply because it's not really "rated" at all. Nintendo completely failed their first-year marketting plan, and as such it gets very little press outside of hardcore gaming commnities. It does have two or three non-ports worth playing, but Nintendo could have done a way better job of getting that message across.

As for new Mario games... I tend to agree, but there are a few that do stand out. What they didn't do a good job of advertising with the New Super Mario Bros. U is that the player with the gamepad is able to create platforms for the other players to use, which is really fun and makes multiplayer far more entertaining. :)  But instead of focusing on how this game used the gamepad, which is really cool, they based all their advertisements on the flying squirrel suits... which is just another power-up that could have happened in any old Mario game. -_____-

But yeah, new Mario games used to be something special, because they were always very well-thought out (excluding Sunshine of course :P) and relatively infrequent... now we no longer have the joy that we used to get from hearing the announcement of a new Mario game... Nintendo has been overloading us with them, and thus killed that joy. :/
