This year will see greater success for WiiU.

If they play their cards right, twice as good as last year.

There's no reason not to believe that Nintendo won't have their best holiday at the end of the year.
X and Bayo2 look phenomenal.
I haven't played Xenoblade yet. Good thing I can play it on WiiU...

So far apparently the plan is just to release Donkey Kong and remain completely silent.

I know right! They need to find a way to attract a wider audience. I've been saying it a lot lately, but they need to look at what Sony does I.e. acquire some western studios.

Erm, they (Nintendo) reached a huge audience with the Wii under the noses of Sony and Microsoft...result? The self-proclaimed "hardcore" did nothing but bitch about it. Nintendo, damned if they do damned if they don't it appears.

Sega's Dreamcast would be considered a fail if spoken of solely in terms of numbers/sales, didnt stop if for me - similarly to the Wii U - being a great console with some wonderful games.

I don't disagree, the wii was a massive success and surprised everyone, lightning in a bottle really. I owned one and I own a wiiu, the problem with the wii is it allowed nintendo to ignore greater fundamental problems with their business particularly regarding strong third party support. Everything about wiiu suggests they're trying to re-capture/further develop what they started with wii, but the audience has moved on and that's why they need to look at Sony's business and apply it to their own and they would have more to offer than Sony in terms of their first party games.

I actually bought a Wii U this week for Super Mario 3D World. I'm not really on the look out for anything else on the Wii U aside from Nintendo first party titles.

Pixels in the Blood: The Journey of Rob Hewson

The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.

Best 2D, Mario World, best 3D, Mario 64. Can't say there's been a bad one, although Mario World 2 wasn't a true sequel. The Mario Land games were good (not the first one) and also Wario Land. I thought after Mario 64, Mario 3D World was excellent.
