Phil Stortzum of SuperPhillip Central writes, "The Wii U's November numbers according to the NPD were around 250,000. That is with a new 3D Mario game that just released, Super Mario 3D World. Now, one could argue that this was because the game wasn't a "true" 3D Mario like 64, Sunshine, or Galaxy. However, Super Mario 3D Land is the best selling 3D Mario anyway, so that argument falls short, as it does going off of the quality of World and it being a phenomenal game.
However, what Nintendo faces now is a system that is selling historically low, performing worse than SEGA's Dreamcast and much worse than the "failure" that was Nintendo's own GameCube (which at least the company turned a profit on, unlike the Wii U currently, which Nintendo takes a loss on with each system sold). While I've gone into the abundance of reasons why the Wii U was disastrously mismanaged, we can add another reason to the list-- there's just way too much Mario. He's not the system seller that Nintendo thought he was for the Wii U."
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

Space opera fans deserve a chance to experience the vastness of Infinite Space, and Sega needs to make up for its mistake.
I still go back to Infinite Space from time to time. Probably the most underrated game I ever played.
Nintendo would be stupid not to continue to capitalise on the best selling franchise in video game history. With that being they should release new 1st party franchises to draw in new audience.
am i the only one that just want another Mario Galaxy or something like Mario 64?
the series still have a long way to go and alot of hearts to warm.
why stop when they are doing great every year?
I'm just gonna say this to Nintendo for these Illuminati references in all of their games
ENOUGH ILLUMINATI NINTENDO
the thing is, im tired of their visions of what mario is. Galaxies blows everything thats on the WiiU, Mario 64 is still the pinnacle in the series if you asked me, I wish they would bring back their old spirits like their nes, snes, and even gamecube games, and of course we all want next gen versions, just not the shovelware thats out now. The only thing I really see going for the WiiU is X.
Of course Mario is a system seller.
